Del The Funky Homosapien - Powers That Be lyrics

[Verse 1: Opio] They say I'm like Bruce Willis: Unbreakable, Die Hard True sickness with this mic on the tripod But I'm not Chow Yun-fat Dig, I'm still a pillar of stone Flows enter your skulls Mash on your whole militia like I'm Hannibal Imagine: you the antelope and I'm the king of the jungle Animal instinct, phenomenal stamina Just think about a man on the brink of insanity And it's me You not a rapper, you a movie star Checkin' who we are Be the coup d'état, molotov co*ktail Charred and you'll get scarred and schooled regardless I'm marvelous majestic; no retarded sh** All my power harnessin' My spoken-word like a Voltron sword And these poems pulse the arsenic Every medley: deadly Come and spar with us [Verse 2: Tajai] When the instrumental begins The timid: they wince They know when it's gonna commence We 'bout to crush 'em Reach out and touch 'em Before they scream out We gonna pull these things out and bust 'em Rub 'em out like dry erase Thug it out like the United Snakes (sssss) It's us against the world f** popular opinion! They scoff, cause we was different But we did it all for independence Now we gon' off 'em with a vengeance Hand on they heads! Paint the landscape ruby red With the nerve and will of a bunch of determined k**ers Who always make their marks, and never hesitate to spark Strike first, take their hearts With the right verse Cause confusion Never underestimate the power of illusion we usin' Start a whole revolution of music, man, we do this sh**, it's all we know [Hook x4] The powers that be It's in you It's in me An emcee That's all we know [Verse 3: Del] Whatever, I don't know why you even play yourself to that degree You laugh at me? Like I won't slap the teeth out your grill That's how I feel You out of order You about a quarter inch away from fist in face Your distant gaze makes me think your brain drifts away To a land of wonder Only to awaken by the sound of cannon thunder All of those damn a**umptions You a sad sack, mad wack Straight up and down a**-crack And that's that! Get a load of Del, I devise words well I be spittin' globe Let the mission unfold Your tits are printed centerfold Hate to diss ya, ho, but you're fictional I'm just kinda different, yo; what I say is thought provoking Not for joking See, I know things they told kings While your hoes cling to whatever the dough brings [Hook] The powers that be It's in you It's in me An emcee That's all we know [Verse 4: Pep Love] Hieroglyphics came triumphant, reign, uncontained Runnin' through the plains of some hunted slaves Emperors who were meant to be entered into the end of the world As we spin to the heat of the sun's temperature; hot! Distance measure how many flows I got Persistent pressure as we get this cheddar For the business and the betterment of my folks All my green stars mount up Ready let's go! We sustained out of Earth cause we came outta her The devils get slain when I sling slang Hotter than a lot of lava from the Bay to the Bahamas All the way to Cabo coppa We parlé'in, clockin' dollars like Goodfellas s**as get jealous cause we make lettuce and we still rebelious And the industry could never jail us All my n***as free to be ourselves and our records still sell This is hip-hop Olympics Hieroglyphics, the Dream Team Rappers livin' outta they means, tryin' to bling-bling Get your fat chain stole Get your whole crew exposed We done had them hoes, dog I'm magical and when I grab these flows Out the hat, it blows 'em back to the last three rows We mashin', ma**ive action-packed sh** Hit 'em with a pa**ion and that's it! [Hook x4] The powers that be It's in you It's in me An emcee That's all we know
