Distortion To Static |
Yo, I’m every MC, it’s all in me |
That’s the way it is, when ya gotta be |
Indeed as I distort I proceed, I need |
Gettin hotter than sacks of boom, in my room at the Ramada |
Four tanks in your memory banks to fill up |
I provide the static, with scratch to match, while you catch the vibe |
Most can play high post, but yo that don’t mean shit |
Because my click’ll make a motherfucker sick |
I flips, redder than pork, comin to New York to mix |
(It's Bob Powers) With the snares and kicks to fix |
Rhythmatically, you got ta be, static-y |
Magiccally I appear, spark a L and drink a beer |
With air smooth, takin niggaz loot with dice |
then shoot The Roots, poetic, courageously kinetic |
Vagabond, versatile and various, plus rap styles |
of mine are blunt, pain is in the mind, so I’m fine and five |
Foot seven, inches in height |
My mission to strike mics and lighten your tights |
Ridin in, like lightning |
Flourescent, incandescent, evervescently |
I represent, Foreign Objects and Ill Elements |
Very relevant, plus intelligently managin matter |
that’s makin tracks fatter, revolve around |
Saturn like rings and brins swings when I sings with bass |
Then distort up in your face like mace |
Bustin your dreams, I gasp with loaded magazines |
I’m on the rap scene, re-color fellas like a vaccine |
As I, rocks from under blunderin I’m not, lyrically |
Ya getm, shot, get caught so distort with thought, for real |
It’s the illest out the Phi, short for Philidelph-iada-fly |
Money makin move fakin I isn’t |
Niggaz can nah front, I’m poetically exquisite |
Wicked, with the visit while you’re wonderin what is it |
Dig it, yo my mellow um whattup for the night |
(Malik B, get on the mic, get on the mic) |
Like that y’all, and yo I’m flowin, my part of the song |
It’s goin, it’s goin, it’s gone |
Now, go get your dictionary and your Pictionary |
Cause much affliction with my diction friction slips and carries |
Words and hers like some cattle in the steeple |
People, there’s no equal, or no sequel |
SO policies, of equalities, get abolished |
Demolished, distortion of the static’s gettin polished |
Urges of splurge and words will just be merged |
Together, damn it’s quite clever, however |
You never, can sound alike, lyrics don’t be poundin like |
These, troops, who be’s, Roots |
Insult ya, mellow of culture, rhythmatic vulture |
Approach ya, with Magnetic shit that’s Ultra |
I make MC’s dangle like a bangle |
Strangle from every angle, my lingo hingles and it jangles |
under Kangols, nahh them niggaz don’t want to tangle |
Cause Roots get loose, negroes get juiced like the mango |
To be particular, extra-curricular, for pleasure |
Measure, in any weather, value more than the treasure |
Baby, you say you maybe, then come in to flex |
Now you wonder what’s next… |
