Ruckus Roboticus - The Silver Age f/ Tribe One lyrics

[Verse 1: Tribe One] This is the story of my origin A sort of ordinary normal boring kid Who wasn't concerned about prom king Until I turned my tenure as an honorary member Of the west coast Avengers to a dirty south Swamp Thing Sent me on a mission to find the stolen remnant Of the central store of wisdom divine code of the infinite I've been to four dimensions In mind molding with Mxyzptlk A mental organism designed only for k**ing this mic And the second we step in from back stage We rap like it's an action-packed splash page Act like we're trying to cause an avalanche cascade Cause we'd rather turn back than attack half-way We're making path-ways like Stan and Jack both In fact, these rap quotes impact like Black Bolt said it So roll credits on these Jersey Shore girls They can break the fourth-wall, we break the fourth-world Painting pictures jumping straight from the page And I'm the Man of Steel damaging your paper mâché Whether you get the singles or you wait for the trades The Silver Age emcees stay saving the day (hey!) We taking aim at major labels for practice We're radioactive without the radio play And before I die, I'ma get my final tour Holding the Hammer of Thor Stand on the shoulders of Devil Dinosaur [Hook] We take the stage, write rhymes to fill a page 'cause the music we made is bringing in the silver age This is beyond the Golden Age of rap and comic books Rock for people sick of the direction that the genre took And Adam WarRock is rocking the mic And Tribe One got it locked in my binocular sight Damn right, for all the people saying back in the day The Silver Age is here to bring back what Stan and Jack made [Verse 2: Adam WarRock] Get up! Everyone who thought they headed for home Y'all just stepped through the portal to the negative zone In a parallel dimension where the comics never change Where hip hop isn't dead like Nasty Nas proclaimed Yo but I ain't stuck in the Days of Future Past Or writing some stupid raps just like the producer asks Had a label where they tried to change my image While indifferent to the art that I be spitting Like wack rappers like in comic hacks And though you never thought of it before How rap and comic culture could converge in one form While the rapper's pen the stories and DJs paint the picture And the listener contributes images for action scripted So even though the tale of Adam's done quick I gotta live my life on earth: 6-1-6 Cause I'm getting older Seems like the planet's getting colder So I gotta keep my heart warm by rapping like this So when I look at all the comics I bought All I see left behind it is a trail of Kirby dots So whether old Jack did it or not All the culture's got an origin of those that came before it With a sort of dope endorsement From the course of those supporting Every breath to speak the choruses Or dopest live performances Or maybe just a kid staying up at night Reading comics in the dark up past his bed time [Hook] We take the stage, write rhymes to fill a page 'cause the music we made is bringing in the silver age This is beyond the Golden Age of rap and comic books Rock for people sick of the direction that the genre took And Adam WarRock is rocking the mic And Tribe One got it locked in my binocular sight Damn right, for all the people saying back in the day The Silver Age is here to bring back what Stan and Jack made [Verse 3: Both] This is the Silver Age of rap, the future of boom bap 'cause we take it back while moving straight ahead And that's that as a matter of fact This ain't even the best yet, we're taking the next step On your mark, get set And Ruckus is making beats That make ya snap ya damn necks As we sit and write the history of future murder mysteries Cause every time we k** it, know there's only one life With limitless possibilities for rocking the mic (scratching) Like this y'all For rizzo To the beat y'all [Hook] We take the stage, write rhymes to fill a page 'cause the music we made is bringing in the silver age This is beyond the Golden Age of rap and comic books Rock for people sick of the direction that the genre took And Adam WarRock is rocking the mic And Tribe One got it locked in my binocular sight Damn right, for all the people saying back in the day The Silver Age is here to bring back what Stan and Jack made
