Lyrics Expanding Man - Dilated Peoples

Expanding Man

Ay yo amplify, magnify, broaden my reach
Expand, exercise, extend, increase
The 'e' and the 'x' are connected like excellence
The 'p' is for peoples that Dilated represents
(Evidence: A-N for all night) PM to AM
And D’s for droppin rhymes with no delayin'
Even numb from Novacane you feel the slow pain
See flames but fuel the fire like propane
(Evidence: now hold that) keep that lock and let’s feast
War’s not the word to play its like peace
I’m a cyborg connected with a mic in my hand
As I expand… you know who I am.am.
A… triple optometrist mental megalopolis…
A… student on these L.A. blocks…
Raakaa Iriscience rapid fire how I transmit
Ay yo me and Omega, Devious Doze used to pose
Hypothetical flows gettin' thrown with known foes
A decade ago- introduced to Will Cooper
And out the other side of my fear- a field trooper
Son of a preacher, in school a student teacher
But I’d rather read or hit the theater for a double feature
Bored night creature well I used to trade books
When 'Science appeared fellow scientists trade looks (y'all see that?)
A brick by brick builder I learned to mix mortar
Gettin' smarter and smarter from Homicide and Law and Order
Street poet, mild mannered reporter
'Til I flip like Kool Keith, drippin' droppin' like water
Raakaa Iriscience… create to devastate
Why wait… put your gloves out
Expand and dilate…
As I expand you know who I am… Its the expanding man…
A… triple optometrist mental megalopolis…
A… student on these L.A. blocks…
Iriscience… you know who I am… am
Now I haven’t forgotten all the drugs that Bush brought in
Its funny how it’s maybe his stash his son got in
Man, Uncle Sam facilitated the plan
Got me dealin' miligrams and grams and kilograms
(Evidence: Yo, word to our lye) they can heal or kill a man
They might have a plant that can if they got a pill that can
Body upon young body into camps
But camps turn to pens when boys to turn to men
War bein' used to both profit and cleanse
Wars both quiet and camouflaged to blend
I’m a freedom fighter, reader, writer, rapper, and fan
As I expand you know who I am…
You know who he is
As I expand you know who I am…
The expanding man…
As I expand you know who I am… am
As I expand you know who I am…
Its the expanding man
