Hieroglyphics - Shift Shape lyrics

[Pep Love] We shift shape And we make sh** shake We shine and get paid When this sh** gets made [Casual] Hey I lie, I can't tell you none (uhuh not me n***a) n***a get high, sacrificin' brain cells and lungs Still catch me at the mall with my foot on the wall Window shoppin', like "This'll look good on my wall" But there's no coppin' No no, not Smash n***a did that sh** before and the hoe got gased I got unlimited rhymes that I'll be givin' 'em And n***az don't admit it at times but I be feelin' them cats Can't express how they feel in they raps n***a prone to pop a pill and collapse Done dealin' with saps I smock slack in a Gilligan hat Gat co*ked back ready for k**in' them cats No not that I'm chillin' in fact I'm gettin' chillins just from spillin' these raps (you feelin that?) [Pep Love] Yeah, I stand firm and learn and earn So I can in turn be a lantern (shinin') Burn baby burn Another one bites the dust tryin' to fight with us Lies and lust we might discuss Wakin' the dead when these mics erupt Lives get touched All eyes on us We rain from the clouds and we rise from the dust Just to put it together so lush and plush Push a hush on your mush-mouth or get brushed and crushed I spill my guts to let the truth gush Come build with us or go get double-dutched I bent my intent to leave my imprint The empire flinched when the messiah is sent Hostile environments Through my ascent to the highest bit This is why I spit the flyest sh** [Pep] We shift shape And we make sh** shake We shine and get paid When this sh** gets made [Opio] We see through every illusion Heavy in the school of life A menace to apprentices Stars and bars Veterans and venegens Inner strength like Imhotep That's why we never miss a step [A-Plus] I'm like greased lightning When Please Write I got the Chickadees fightin' and the fleas bitin' n***az be showin more kids em with they sarcasm But they dont wanna spark at 'em Makin dark dissin You gettin' whipped into shape Dipped in the lake What, you thinkin' this is fake? Cold rappers getting they chickens baked (Ahh!) It's been posted, when I get toasted f** how it smells some chicks be acting like the don't sh** Them the ones that don't get a red cent A proud n***a but yet a baller Thats how I tell em solidier Never drinkin even when I'm hella older Gettin over in ways your people never showed ya Breakin bread and doja that mission ain't never over And if you trippin' I don't care to know ya Uhoh there he go again, making sure he got dough to spend Doja to smoke and then hold it in [Opio] I'm here at last on the mic Droppin' serrin gas and follow your a** with oxygen masks [gasp] The appearin mad scientist applyin this pressure to the game Like an iron fist Even though I caught the spiders kiss from the biters its Nothing I regenerate Imitate Wolverine plus I'm pullin strings (bling) The penalty, Ma**ive trauma to your dome Like Kennedy (damn!) The Lee Harvey Oswald of this industry (oh sh**) If I'm provoked I'll be waitin in the library With the Snipers scope pointed at the driver throat Who, who? Who me? I might catch a Jack Ruby That's only if I got chains shackled to me I fire off some high-velocity from the Hiero monopoly We eat emcees like a poppy seed They found out I'm for realer, unfarmiliar Not that mainstream Elvis sh** Where is Pricilla? [Pep] We shift shape And we make sh** shake We shine and get paid When this sh** gets made [Opio] We see through every illusion Heavy in the school of life A menace to apprentices Stars and bars Veterans and venegens Inner strength like Imhotep That's why we never miss a step [Pep] We shift shape And we make sh** shake We shine and get paid When this sh** gets made Shape shifters
