GZA - The Spark lyrics

[Verse 1] From the mind, thought produced a speck of light It was infinitely hot, so extremely bright Within the center of this great shining There was enormous energy - it was expanding in great timing Within this fireball was all of space Special place with information encased One of infinite beginnings this cosmic clock was ticking And allowed space to float while it was spinning All that you see around us Sun, the moon and stars - millions of worlds that astound us The universe inside is hard to fathom When composed in a region small as a single atom One billionth the size the point of a pen Microscopic but on a macro level within And unfurled the swirling cloud of light A star city, a galaxy, with all its might Within the blinking of an eye expanded beyond comprehension Then a fraction of a second a new dimension At a marble size but very unstable In time it would come with the periodic table Space was expanding faster than light speed Moving at the speed only thought can exceed A picosecond after the big bang music of the spheres Before the ears the universe is now sound Small enough to fit in your hand, a nanosecond later It was the size of Mars and becoming greater Fraction of the second later - 80 times the size of earth Fastest growing infant since its time of birth [Chorus] Step into a world of black holes, quasars Galaxies, supernovas, bright stars A spectrum of light beams Images beyond your wildest dreams [Verse 2] Still expanding but it didn't contain matter Just pure energy that was spinning within the batter But ma** and energy are interchangeable Convert those particles, not to name a few Matter and antimatter, the arch-rival Met, obliterated each other for survival A war zone, a battle to the d**h But as long as there's life and breath there's one remaining left But an imbalance caused particles to vibrate Away from the galactic center at high rates So fast becoming a liquid And it would be 300,000 years before it dripped it Despite being perfect, it was in turmoil Then it would fall back under pressure, recoil Subatomic particles smashed into each other Continuous energy years before discovered Then it slowed down and began to bond Creating atoms - building blocks of matter and beyond It was now eight times the size of the solar system Distance, thorough measurements, I enlist them Sixty billion miles in diameter Temperature of seventeen trillion Fahrenheit to damage ya And it was only a millionth of a second old And it would be another million years before turning cold [Chorus] Step into a world of black holes, quasars Galaxies, supernovas, bright stars A spectrum of light beams Images beyond your wildest dreams
