Aesop Rock -
Coffee (feat. John Darnielle) ~ [Pigs]
(I was just about to submit this post with as bare as the song, title, and source/lyrics for the hidden-segued track, but am I real glad to have found this...)
author's comments (Aesop Rock):
My friend John Darnielle, who’s in a band called 'Mountain Goats', came in to help me with this song. And “Coffee” talks about being peaceful with each other, but that that doesn’t necessarily mean I want to hang out with you. It’s saying, “I’ll be nice to you when I see you, but f**k off. We don’t need to hang out.” And if you let “Coffee” play through, after that song there is a hidden track called “Pigs.” And this song is funny in a number of ways. I was trying to describe the typical fat guy in a suit, smoking a Cuban cigar and drinking. It’s literally being a pig. But it’s also a metaphor. It’s talking about pigs as animals but it relates pigs to human beings.

Now, I haven't watched either of these music videos (I didn't even know Aesop Rock had any ones made other than '
None Shall Pass'),
but as a treat for stumbling upon them, I'll add them here as well.
