Producer Cess Less creates a tranquil, almost meditative vibe with just a touch of mysticism â an ideal soundscape for Aesop Rock and Homeboy Sandman to deliver over three minutes of humorously witty societal observations and personal anecdotes.
LYRICS:
Homeboy Sandman:
Youâll understand my sense of urgency
I be the cat that put âemergenceâ in emergency
More than a half a mind to save my whole community
Iâm just not certain what something like thatâll do to me
Sandyâs on the mound and pitching for the home team
All the informationâs listed on the home screen
Once I started ainât no switchinâ out to plan b
Once I started ainât no screaming out âit canât beâ
You can catch the bluest ribbon in the red sea
You can catch the true and living in the dead sea
Magic lingers while the fingers on your screen scroll
Please believe it you can read it in the sea scrolls
Fortune frowns on anybody out to take lives
If youâre considering a silly thing then take five
I am avid as Iâm having me a great time
Iâm aware you might have heard this through the grapevine
When Iâm chompin on the bit it ainât a bit dull
If you want it you can get it thru your thick skull
See I grew up on Atari playing pitfall
See I grew up on Safari of the brick walls
Iâm a composite of many different aspects
Iâm a undercover operative of aztecs
Bastion riding falcor tryna spot artex
Examining the outdoors for the spot marked X
Behind the wheel of Trueâs land cruiser I cruise land
Listen and youâll hear it itâs the spirit that moves man
Picking out a jacket for hijacking a news van
Rappers donât know diddley but me Iâm a blues man
I be on it like I saw it with a birdâs eye
If itâs doable I done it on my first try
Breaker breaker peep the phantom about to break fly
Every bit of data fatter than a steak fry
Doin what I gotta to remain on the blacklist
Up until you find out that was only a catfish
Every other human come including an asterisk
Thank you all for snoozing now for using my last wish
Aesop Rock:
Pitched a few snow balls
Skipped a slew of rolls calls
Dipped into the sewer, grew his hair out like a troll doll
Blew the man-hole cover up to the sand bluff
Down to the river took a knee with my hands cupped
Man-Ape free to hydrate or be ambushed
The slant grow from âlook at him goâ to âheavens I canât lookâ
King Upsetter, surely cursed be the name
Every word an urgent love letters bursting into flames
Editor-in-chief at the Bloodletter gazette
Every drip on the cement could fill-up another cassette, and does
Reaper knocking at me through the diner glass
Invite him in
Yes I know the die is cast, now try the grits
Let him get the check, and offer thirty seconds clear to run
Itâs ten before he skip the other twenty on some âhere I comeâ
Which wayâd he go
Strafe and follow any trace of spirit gum
Mustache and glasses disappear into the zero sum
No road atlas only roads to Damascus
Where the roses are for growing not for throwing at some pageant
Yâall just pinning little ribbons on each other as catfish
Swimming in the chasm between what you publish and practice
I wake up every day and move different than I used to
Smarter than whichever bearâs assuming that you do too
Doozie after doozie, up and brushing off the lab coat
Cold bath, bo staff, back on his Max Roach
Tap into the tape gun, mail you back to Hasbro
Bring me to the big cheese, all I see is crab toast
All you see is parachutes raining from the matmos
All I see is parody and parroting and plateaus
âRound here thatâs pretty much a cousin to the flatline
I would rather level-up than fraternize with magpies
Patron saint of Isolation, heart of palm and graphite
Teaching kids to put away the crack pipe, thatâs Lice

This is the greatest thing I've ever heard
Eventually, I may be able to fully decipher your cipher. Til then, I think I get the jist.
Absolutely perfect
Instant Classic!!! Growing up with the infancy of hip hop 80's and 90's golden NYC era i picture Friday/ Saturday cruising the 'A' or 'J' train and L.E.S with the walkman in summer..watch them dark lit corners @ nite
dope
It's a different realm listening to them
This track is simply amazing. No hook or chorus, straight bars.
came here to remind you that this track is found on aesoprock.com and that's where you will go buy it for you and all your loved ones.
Katata fiisssshhhhh tale has beeeennnn toollllddddddđȘđȘđ„đ„đ„đ„
The first two mins of sandman rapping in the same exact rhyme scheme, cadence and tone really makes this song monotonous. Lyrically I dig it. But I canât say Iâll ever listen to it again :/
All I see is parodies and parot'ing and plateaus around here that's pretty much cousin to the flatline I would rather level up than fraternize with magpies
Filthy underground hip hop âŠ. Itâs not all dead âŠ.. these EMCEEâs prove that âŠ. ILL pen-men-ship
I listen to Doing It Stealthy when I'm experiencing existential dread. It makes it worse but… I just can't stop.
ÊᎠÊnoqÉ Æuos É ÇÊÉÉŻ puÉ make love to a turtle oÊ ÉÉolO ÊuÉÊ I
I met Oloff at a supermarket once and asked him ''How did you write Doing It Stealthy?'' he didn't answer, he was too busy paying for his asparagus.
I listen to Doing It Stealthy on the train, and if the train doesn't go fast enough I slap the driver on the back of the head
Doing It Stealthy helps me to process my feelings about 9/11.
Rumour has it one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.
amazing
If only DOOM were still here, can you IMAGINE a super group of Aes/Sandman/DOOM – good looooord
"every word and every love letter burst into flames" the article i read about this track before hearing it said that HS talked about catfish as in the e-fraud and Aes talked about literal fish but they obv didnt listen very hard cuz Aes does both here on this line in particular, after realizing uve been catfished id imagine 'every word and love letter burst into flames'
Catfish is the perfect name for this song since my ass thought i was getting a new Lice EP, not a promo one-off track!!!
