Hieroglyphics

[Opio]
They say Im like Bruce Willis...Unbreakable, Die Hard
Ture Sickness with this mic on the tripod
But Im not Chow Yun Fat
Dig Im still a pillar of stone
Flows enter your skulls
Mash on your whole malitia like Im Hannibal
Imagine you the antelope, and Im the king of the jungle
Animal instict...phenominal stamina
Just think about a man on the brink of insanity
And its me!
You not a rapper, you a movie star checkin who we are
Be the coup d?tat...molotov cocktail
Check and youll get scarred and schooled regardless
Im marvelous majestic...no retarded shit
All my power harnessin
My spoken word like a voltron sword
And these palms pulse the arsenic
Every medely...deadly!
Come and spark with us
[Tajai]
When the instrumental begins
The timid...they wince
They know when its 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)
Its us against the world
Fuck 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 killers
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!
Shit its all we know!
[Chorus] X 4
The powers that be
Its in you
Its in me
An Emcee
Thats all we know..
[Del]
Whatever, I dont know why you even play yourself to that degree
You laugh at me?
Like I wont slap the teeth out your grill
Thats 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 assumptions!
You a sad sack, mad wack
Straight up and down ass-crack
And thats that!
Get a load of Del, I devise words well
I be spittin globe
Let the mission unfold
Your just a pretty centerfold
Hate to diss ya ho, but youre fictional
Im just kinda different yo...what I say is thought provoking!
Not for joking
See I know things they told kings
While your hos cling to whatever the dough brings
[Chorus] X 1
The powers that be
Its in you
Its in me
An Emcee
Thats all we know..
[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 suns 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 lets go!
We sustain out of Earth cause we came outta her
The devils get slain when I sling slang
Hotter then a lot of lava from Barbeta to Bahamas
All the way to (some island?)
We parl?in, clokcin dollars like good fellas
Suckas get jealous cause we make lettuce and we still rebelious
And the industry could never jail us
All my niggaz free to be ourselves and our record 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 hos, dog!
Im magical and when I grab these flows
Out the hat it blows em back to the last 3 rows
We mashin, massive action-packed shit
Hit em with a passion and thats it!
[Chorus] X 4
The powers that be
Its in you
Its in me
An Emcee
Thats all we know.
