Aceyalone - The Shape of Things to Come lyrics

"And yes y'all" [Iriscience] The only thing constant is change *Time waits for nobody* 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 [Evidence]You got light? [Iriscience] 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 [Aceyalone] 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 s**ers a diss Some people like my old styles better than this but [Iriscience] Yo some are Spacey like Kevin And some the knowledge of seven Praise Jesus and Jah, Buddah, Allah or just Heaven [Aceyalone] 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 [Iriscience] Some will be statistics And some will be records Dimes become pennies like dimes become eleven [Aceyalone] To some we kind of thought of it As teaching the dumb Ace-One and Dilated The shape of things to come [Hook][Iriscience] 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 [Hook][Evidence] [Aceyalone] 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 [Iriscience] 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 [Hook][Aceyalone] [Hook][Evidence] [Iriscience] 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 [Aceyalone] 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 [Hook][Iriscience, Aceyalone and Evidence] Babu scratches "Ay yes y'all" Y'all ready to bounce for us? It's that sh** It's that LA sh**
