Lyrics Ego Sonic War Drums - Blackalicious, Peace

Ego Sonic War Drums

Our house is in the middle of the street
I’m a talkin' head, talkin' head
Splittin' speech, Hungry like A Wolf, Where’s the Beef?
Beef eater gin, in-toxicant, men-tal
Alternate, end-ings, opposite trend Zen
Copperfield, pen bend, topple and kill end men
Send them, in wind, tremblin', off of them skills (skills, skills, skills…)
My copper top is poppin' tops (tops), the heat keeps flowin'
Energizer bunny, ain’t it funny, how I stay so ever ready
But I never see the money (money, money, money…)
Money never makin' me
I make it, come inside and take a seat
It’s vacant, Ego Sonic, inner space
The sacred sequel on again
Erase and cease the hatred season
Of the drums of war of sages past
Are speakin' through the ancients
Speakin' through the, speakin' through the ancients, speakin'
(speakin', speakin', speakin'…)
As a kid, I was Harry Potter-like
Not locked in a room but on the streets, they poked fun and took my bike
Until I chose to write, spec-tacular, vernacular, spells, for the fight
(fight, fight, fight…)
In the
Middle of the class
I was writin' my secret agenda
Getting' a bl-ast
From ignitin' my deepest surrender
A bit of chastisement
I may have gotten from teachers
When the
Classes were done
Masses were stunned, I pass it on
(I pass it on, I pass it on, I pass it on…)
I be flingin' stones at yo' dome and yo' Jet-son
And Elroy’s El Dorado drivin' while the sun sets some
Back seat, fulla cotton candy, beer, and bubble gum
(bubble gum, bubble gum. bubble gum…)
Summertime in the city
Pity rappers fallin' to the Ego Sonic War Drums
Ego Sonic War Drums, we so hard — RUN
Beatin' on yo' door come, try and get SOME
You’ll get trampled, tryin' to sample, end up gettin' NONE
Ego Sonic War Drums, we so hard — RUN
Heeey ya, raise the bar to another level of rhymin' again
Maaa-jor daaays of, verbal assault tactics that get
Waaaay out, Blazin' the bow again to set new trends of flaa-va, Déj-ą vu
We blowin' 'em up wit' the way we slaaay-a
Saaay ya praaa-yeras
Set in the head of the rappers we SLAAY-a
YAAAY-A, HI-YA, HI-YA, HO!
Come on in-SIDE and try the flow
Creepin' up on yo' mind just like a SPID-A
KIND-A slow, SHINE and FLOOOW
Sparkle and rock until I can’t SHINE NO MO', OHHH!
Low and beHOOOLD, FOOOE
Animal instinct comin' out of the SOOOUL
Chief Coyote, Blackfoot, Savage NavaHOOOOS
Scalpin' yo' top and rock out the spot, off the top knockin'
And then I frolic about the DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUGH
Just because we out there, doesn’t mean we don’t care
Respect our clout, yeah, Gift of Gab dope, yeah
P-E-A-C-E, yeah, E-S-W-D, playa
Arrows flyin' everywhere, Ego Sonic warfare
Peace pipe, puffin', arrow stick you in yo' stuffin'
OH-WO-WO-WO-WO-WO-OW, think I’m bluffin'
Jumpin' off my horse and runnin' up on you ain’t nothin
I don’t have no rifle, I just throw my hatchet in yo' face
Catch it, get an eye FULL
Hear them drums?
Battle sounds!
See that land?
Battle grounds!
See the men?
Battle rounds!
Hear me now, man down!
Bows UP, clear the section, roll out a winner
In my Ego Sonic head dress in
And for you dum-dum opponents, hope you learned yo' lesson
(learned yo' lesson, learned yo' lesson, learned yo lesson'…)
Chief Apache drummer, tipi dweller, eagle feather bearer
Chalice lighter, inner fire starter, worship Mother Nature
Mohawkin' egos clawin' beak seems to bear it all
Seminole, Blackfoot, Mohican, and Choctaw
Choppin' ya, scalpin' ya, offin' ya, moppin' ya, falcons are
Flockin' around you, wreck shop while I’m poppin' at Pocahontas
Death it won’t fall upon us, as long as I’m Geronimo-an
Keepin' the heater flowin', you know they ain’t into throwin' 'em
Burnin' the tip of the Arrow, the temperature’s blarin'
Your endin' is near when we hit you wit' THIS, then you’re perishin'
(perishin', perishin', perishin'…)
Cherish everyday light, light
Couldn’t picture livin' life in the dark right, right, right?
Ear to the ground, I hear 'em comin'
Do you really think they comin'?
Ego sonic, hear that thumpin'
Do you really think they drummin'?
Do you really think they comin'?
I can see 'em!
HERE THEY COME!
If they catch us, they gon' kill us
Wouldn’t want to be us, RUN!
(RUN, RUN, RUN…)
Ego Sonic War Drums, we so hard — RUN
Beatin' on yo' door come, try and get SOME
You’ll get trampled, tryin' to sample, end up gettin' NONE
Ego Sonic War Drums, we so hard — RUN
