The Shape Of Things To Come |
| With that… its the shape of things to come |
| Yo I’m the open-est of oceans |
| I’m a river and stream |
| A crystal clean lake |
| Yo the essence of steam |
| The form of a luminescent bright light flourescent |
| You got light? |
| Don’t wait 'till it’s dark to ask questions |
| I been sparking in sessions |
| And blessing mics with my prescence |
| Since many were prepubescent |
| Puberty adolescent |
| Perhaps you need a lesson in |
| Addressing with respect an' |
| Too many feel inadequate without their little weapon |
| It’s like I got the whole world against me |
| Need to get intensely |
| A head full of headaches |
| And a hand full of sensi |
| Them so flimsy so why there one MC |
| There wasn’t one before hasn’t one since me |
| A gangster of love |
| I come from up above |
| I give the mic a tug |
| I give the world a hug |
| I give the skies a kiss |
| I give suckers a diss |
| Some people like my old styles better than this but |
| Yo some are Spacey like Kevin |
| And some the knowledge of seven |
| Praise Jesus and Jah, Buddah, Allah or just Heaven |
| Yeah and some like it moderate |
| Some like a lot of it |
| Which every way I go we got something |
| To get you up, up out of it |
| Some will be statistics |
| And some will be reverends |
| Dimes become pennies like dimes become eleven |
| To some we kind of thought of it |
| As teaching the dumb |
| Ace-One and Dilated |
| The shape of things to come |
| I catch rec and |
| Tangle in circles with squares and |
| Triangles to test if indeed you’re prepared |
| This is the shape of things to come |
| This is the shape of things to come |
| I wax 'em I tax 'em |
| Here’s Iriscience — ask him |
| From Arkansas to Aspen |
| The futuristic jazzman |
| I’m telepathic |
| Moving through hella traffic |
| I know my demographics |
| See how this was crafted and drafted |
| There’s precision in the incision |
| I’m not Christian or |
| Catholic or any other religion |
| I’m just man |
| With the steel in his hand |
| I shoot the gift from blessed to spark where it land |
| And it landed in the sand |
| Where the pyramids blaze |
| And this is how the dictionary defines such a place |
| A polyhedron with a polygonal base |
| Median and common vertex |
| Triangular face |
| Who came in the home and |
| Ripped the capstone |
| Stripped the limestone |
| To line they fine home |
| I cram to understand |
| The dirty deeds of some |
| While we bringing you the shape of things to come |
| Aiyyo I center punch punchlines |
| Shine when it’s crunchtime |
| I’m back to beatbox, rap battles at lunchtime |
| I sketch a piece and fill it in with design |
| Uno Aceyalone |
| Rhyme bright like sunshine |
| Platform squad standing on the brink |
| Yo I touch the world |
| Got three but two blink |
| Rakaa aka Iriscience lenscrafters |
| Zen blend with hash the self defense master |
| Yeah its too bad we control fire, wind |
| I know that you bad |
| You badder than thousands of men |
| But who’s the baddest on the apparatus tell me again |
| Take a hold of your heart without penetrating the skin |
| See I didn’t invent it I just perfected it |
| I never intended to really connect with it |
| But once I got in it I redirected it |
| Now I change the world and get respect with it and a check with it |
| It ain’t nothin' new under the sun |
| Fool I ain’t afraid of the size of your gun |
| The flesh is weak plus they speak foul tongue |
| Take the breath from their lungs as they swung |
| And they hung and they sunk |
| Babu scratches «Ay yes y’all» |
| Y’all ready to bounce for us? |
| It’s that shit |
| It’s that LA shit |
