Verbal Anime |
| «Like, uh, this is your lucky day, see. |
| I will uh like, you know, fill you in how come. |
| Suppose you like didn’t, uuuh, |
| run up to a couple of sweet guy like us.» |
| «Heavens no!» |
| «Oh yeah well we wouldn’t want that to happen.» |
| «So I tell you what we’re gonna do.» |
| «Oh let’s just dispense with formalities |
| And uh, get down to like business.» |
| «This is verbal anime, graphic animation» |
| I’ve seen ghosts in the shell, ninja scrolls, and a curer |
| But the illest character I’ve seen was in the mirror |
| Open up the world, people lend me an ear |
| It’s a family affair and let me make that clear |
| Raaka, I keep my propaganda proper |
| In circles I’m high, swing blades like helicopters |
| In this stage of my life I choose to develop shock words |
| While cats look lost without the teleprompters |
| Federado tour duty, medal of honor |
| Since life is a battle your best bet is betting on it Check the conference, we on stage with weapons on us Microphones, straight Robin Hoods, its economics |
| Yes yes, it all starts with a sketch |
| Snapshots, motion pictures and special effects |
| We stretch the game out, we expand the nation |
| And this is verbal anime graphic animation |
| Funk imagination |
| Come to illustration |
| Then we bring pictures to life |
| We call it animation |
| You got to know the time like the grand verbalizer |
| It’s time, Iriscience with The Herbaliser |
| A light this bright might burn through your visor |
| I know you want to squint, but, open your eyes up! |
| I jump up and let the earth spin round |
| And don’t come down 'til I’m floating over your town |
| Nothing to prove, making the people move |
| Whether double-decker bus, taxi or the tube |
| Mind the cap, we did crime now we climb the map |
| Check how I spit rhyme to rap |
| Yes yes, it all starts with a sketch |
| Snapshots, motion pictures and special effects |
| We stretch the game out, expand the nation |
| This is verbal anime graphic animation |
| Ohhhhhh, Herbaliser, U. K, CA, LA, all day |
| Funk imagination |
| Come to illustration |
| Then we bring pictures to life |
| We call it animation |
| I trade money at the Combio, dollars for pounds |
| Massacre, musical murder I’m killing your sound! |
| But hardly softly, how’s that feel to you now? |
| I chew raw iron and I spit steel to the crowd |
| Magnetic attraction don’t repel |
| I attract retail, underground rebel |
| Dilated Peoples: the few, the proud, the brave |
| Nice in the studio and +Live On Stage+ |
| Drop so many bars I leave the beat in a cage |
| Some are courageous, some afraid to turn the page |
| Rappers stacking rhymes, you can take a quick look |
| And animate my lyric sheets like a flipbook |
| Thoughts in effect it all starts with a sketch |
| Snapshots, motion pictures and special effects |
| Stretch the game out, expand the nation |
| This is verbal anime graphic animation |
| «I know you would see it our way because we explained it very fully» |
| «This is verbal anime» |
| «I'm not gonna get aneurolized but few except what I said» |
| «This is verbal anime graphic animation» |
