Jim: "Blimey! I...I suppose...that was it."
Hilda: "Wasn't it light?"
Jim: "Yea, terrific. You--you get terrific light with those bombs.
Listen! A dog!"
Hilda: "What does the fallout look like, dear?"
Jim: "Fallout? The government director neglected to mention what it
would look like. I expect it would look a bit like snow does, only
gray. Very quiet. I expect they're all are having a good lie-in
after the bombing."
Hilda: "Terrible smell of burning."
Jim: "Well, yes. Well there's bound to be. That's logical.
Hilda: "It's like...roast meat."
Jim: "Yes, it does. I expect everybody will be having their Sunday
dinner a bit early this week, due to the unexpected circumstances..."
Jim: "A cloud coming up. Looks like rain. We'll be alright for
water now for a while, my dear."
Hilda: "Do you think rainwater is alright to drink?"
Jim: "Well, yes, of course it is. There's nothing purer than
rainwater, is there? Everybody knows that."
Hilda: "Oh, look! My hair's coming out."
Well you just wait
we're lost again
Great, oh just great
We're lost again
Get your mouth out of the gutter
Get your butt back to the sand
If it gets any hotter
Rock your baby in the sun
And beg your big break
We're us again
Shake your big weight
You'll crave again
The field has melted snow in summer
Back with lousy rain
One more star above the clouds
Is not such a bad thing
I have to say
I have to say
One more star above the buoys
Is not such a bad thing
Say it just say
We're safe again
Get your mouth out of the gutter
Get your butt back to the sand
If it gets any hotter
StandingOn the edge of foreverAt the start of whateverShouting love at the world
Back thenWe were like cavemenBut we mapped the moon and the starsThen we forgave them
We will meet you where the lights areThe defenders of the faith we areWhen the thunder turns aroundThey'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away
You know no one diesIn these love-drowned eyesThrough our love-drowned eyesWe'll watch you sleep tonight
Although no one understood, we were holding back the floodLearning how to dance the rainWe were holding back the floodThey said we'd never dance again
BleedingBut none of us leavingWatch your mouth, sonOr you'll find yourself floating home
Here we come now on a dark starSeeing demons, not what we areTiny minds and eager handsWill try to strike but now will end today
There's progress nowWhere there once was noneWhere there once was, ahThen everything came along
Although no one understood, we were holding back the floodLearning how to dance the rainThere was more of them than usNow they'll never dance again
Although no one understood there was more of them than usLearning how to dance the rainWe were holding back the floodThey said we'd never dance again
We will meet you where the lights areThe defenders of the faith we areWhen the thunder turns aroundThey'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away
Although no one understood there was more of them than usLearning how to dance the rainThere was more of them than usNow they'll never dance again
Seaweeds like emerald veins she sleeps beneath the
breaking weight
A silent dying ocean's slow defeat
The floods will rise and take us all
An end to all this quarrel
A final grace to rid her grief
Oh, Mother show no mercy for me
Wash the stains away
Come unto me again
Open yourself beneath us all (swallow)
Purge the soil
Burn the surface
Erase
Erase
Erase the past again
Oh, she will sleep like a breathing fire's kiss upon
Oh, my darling dear walk carefully
Perhaps she'll still be there? (Wake up!)
The rivers to rise again
Wash the stains away
Come unto me again
Open yourself beneath us all (swallow)
Purge the soil
Burn the surface
Erase
Erase
Will you ever look past your self-sufficient illusions
The structure's true foundations rest within you
The price we pay for sheer indifference
Surrendered self - you're discount spare parts
You give up your rights for your limitations
And abandon all hope
One step further down the line as the flood begins to
rise
You're on your knees faking ambition
Now close your eyes and bleed
I know there are things from the past that should never
be brought back
The ghosts of stale ideals and burning bridges
In simplified inane depictions of a different world
A lie to serve the fold and the forces in them
As you give up your rights for your limitations
And lay down your arms
One step further down the line as the flood begins to
rise
You're on your knees faking ambition
Now close your eyes
In the darkest corner of my mind I see a boy with a
crooked smile
With a crown made of tinsel and glassbeads on a wire
Singin a song out of tune
Now if you believe I'll bleed for you
And if I could bleed
Well, so could you
Close your eyes and pretend it will go away
They were just theives and robbers,
You were a stepping stone.
Look how the innocent suffer,
Raging like a storm in your soul.
One thing they forgot to mention:
Making peace was their last intention.
There was a time you trusted,
You were too proud to beg.
Now you just feel disgusted
With everything you've done and said.
There really wasn't time to cry,
Or even kiss the children goodbye.
Chorus
You got swept by the Flood
You got talked out of dreams.
There was a price on your blood,
Couldn't wash yourself clean.
It wasn't really worth a whole lot,
Looking back on what you got.
Like words in the mud,
Tears in the stream.
No more dreams.
All that you ever wanted,
All that you'd seen and heard,
Never got really started
Like a river never turned.
They didn't give a reason why,
Never even bothered to try.
(chorus)
Killers without a conscience,
Only the good lie dead.
Great father who trades in nonsense,
Picture this inside your head:
The magic of the talking wires
INTRO:
I'm asking you one question.
You want me to sign away the rights as a father to my daughter
So that you'll leave me alone and let Liv be happy?
Everything is...
She's so happy.
I wish you knew that.
She is happy, I know but...
She's such a happy girl.
I'm I'm I'm I'm asking to just...
How do I...?
I think that your right.
I don't think your ready for a family Justin.
I'm not ready for a...?
And when you are, I hope that you have one with...
With somebody that...
That you treat much better than you did us.
But I think at this point you should probably acknowledge the fact that...
That...?
You have failed miserably…
VERSE 1:
No joke took a breath and then awoke.
I was standing in an airport looking like a joke.
Saying Sir can you help me, mam could you please?
So they lead me to the pay phone flagging down the police.
Mr. officer I know who I am but the rest of me my memory I just don't understand.
I do know that I'm an unsafe man with a plan
Of getting on a plane, fly away to kill a man.
Like a freight train; threat to myself.
I got a history of blackouts, bad mental health.
So… Both cops each arm, alarm, no harm, disarm, pat down, do the body check.
Next thing I was a walking on the airfield.
Backseat I was a heading to a hospital.
I'm sorry for the drama that I bring through the screen.
He said "Son you did the right thing."
CHORUS:
Please help me understand why you can't talk man to man.
But you can stand with your dick in your hand.
You're acting like a pussy man.
Hey! Hey!
Huhh
VERSE 2:
I was faithful to my wife and now we're separated.
Use to drive her in the back I underestimated.
Like a strong sinks down into the complicated.
Fact that she gave that ass up I never fucking dated.
See your better than that.
No it's not.
Well he's a rough real tough man going round the back.
Just a pussy with a dick stand up and be a fucking man.
Hiding from the husband scared I'll make a beating.
Now up in Lincoln
I'm in the deep end.
Think I'll I come and break you smash your fucking face in.
Cut you up vanilla juice and watch you try to fuck them.
(CHORUS) X2
BRIDGE:
uh oh uh oh oh oh oh uhoh uh oh oh
uh oh uh oh oh uh uh ohuh uh oh oh ohoh
uh oh uh oh oh oh oh uhoh uh oh oh
uh oh uh oh oh uh uh ohuh
uhhhhh
VERSE 3:
Is that beat up?
Is that beat up yet?
Please help me understand.
Why you can't talk man-to-man.
Is that beat up?
Is that beat up yet?
Ha! Ha!
Stand up.
Stand on top of.
(Whispered Grunts)
(Unrecognizable)
(CHORUS) X2
broken people get recycled,
And i hope that i will,
sometimes we're thrown off our pathways,
what i thought was my way home,
wasn't the place i know,
i'm not afraid of changing,
certain? nothings certain,
What we own becomes our prison,
my possessions will be gone,
back to where they came from.
BLAAAAME, no one is to BLAAAME,
as natural as the rain that falls,
here comes the flood again.
See the rock that you hold on too,
is it gonna save you?
when the earth begins to crumble,
why do you feel you have to hoooold on?
Imagine if you let go.
BLAAAAME, no one is to BLAAAME,
as natural as the rain that falls,
here comes the flood again.
**speeds up**
(waaaaash away, the weight, that pulls you down.)
(Riiiiide the waaves, the waves that free you from your doubt)
(don't trust your mind, it's not always listening...
Turn on the lights, and feel the ancient rythym)
Don't trust your eyes, its easy to believe them...
(BLAAAAME, no one is to BLAAAME,
as natural as the rain that falls,
here comes the flood again.)
Know in your heart, that you can ease your prison.
**Slows down**
BLAAAAME, no one is to BLAAAME,
as natural as the rain that falls,
here comes the flood again.
I never meant to hurt you but knew I someday would
It's like I built a cabin with matches between the wood
I'll be damned if I am happy and you will pay the price
Strong becomes the lion when he believes his own advice
I've got this one beat
I know its empty in the open
Days apart from you
Ashes trace the skyline
And this burnout cabin too
I'll be damned if you forget me in this fire
I'll save your place
And keep it cool while I think of you
In the smoke I see your face
I've got this one beat; I've got this one beat
Rain come fall on me
Baby from the fallout hear me call out
I've got this one beat
Baby from the fallout hear me call out
I've got this one beat
In the fallout [X5]
Is this how it's gonna be?
Bending daylight here with me
I know the aftermath is harder that it seems
Is this how it's got to be?
In the fallout, the fallout, the fallout
I'm alone in the fallout
They say the sky is falling
Are the angels coming too?
I'm gonna catch them when they come
Catch them as they fall
Climb on top the tower, get me closer to the sky
I'll bring the memories back
And save them all for you
The fallout [X4]
You can hear me call out from that fallout
You can hear me call
Save me, save me from the enemy
Come save me, save me from these broken things
Fallout
(The timegate is closed...)
(They came from a galaxy far away
to fight their holy war in
The pliocene world called Terra
The manycolored land)
They take a sadistic delight of destroying
In a world of coercive power and might
breeding a new type of hyprid child
To conquer the world without a fight
To condemn the power of strength
The astonishing mental capacity
The tool to obstruct the second
Chance of trying for humanity - for humanity
Healing every wound
No sickness - no aging - no dying
Living for a thousand years or more
The human exiles are crying
To serve the exotics of Tana
They're feeling the gray torcs around their necks
All can they stop mental punishment
If unitu'd fight its way through - fight its way through
A group of lowlifes refusing to submit to the host
Making a plan to destroy the ruling race
the non-born king of humans has the solving in his hands
Deceiving his own - and shows his real face
(Yes...we adopted the humans. They fight our battles, they grow our food,
They operate our mines and factories, they administer our commerce,
They infiltrate our sacret guilds,
They mingle their very blood and genes with our own.
But that is not all. We are faced with the ultimate humiliation -
And once again we have brought it upon ourselves.
For a human now aspires to our high kingship...)
Interrogation - humiliation - blind agression - devastation
The maddened raven creates the earthquake
to break down the barrier to the sea
Killing the host with the flood - catastrophe
I never meant to hurt you but knew I someday would
It's like I built a cabin with matches between the wood
I'll be damned if I am happy and you will pay the price
Strong becomes the lion when he believes his own advice
I've got this one beat
I know its empty in the open
Days apart from you
Ashes trace the skyline
And this burnout cabin too
I'll be damned if you forget me in this fire
I'll save your place
And keep it cool while I think of you
In the smoke I see your face
I've got this one beat; I've got this one beat
Rain come fall on me
Baby from the fallout hear me call out
I've got this one beat
Baby from the fallout hear me call out
I've got this one beat
In the fallout
Is this how it's gonna be?
Bending daylight here with me
I know the aftermath is harder that it seems
Is this how it's got to be?
In the fallout, the fallout, the fallout
I'm alone in the fallout
They say the sky is falling
Are the angels coming too?
I'm gonna catch them when they come
Catch them as they fall
Climb on top the tower, get me closer to the sky
I'll bring the memories back
And save them all for you
The fallout
You can hear me call out from that fallout
You can hear me call
Save me, save me from the enemy
Come save me, save me from these broken things

He sees her face and is compelled to take this flight
He knows her soul embodies this, his final plight
His heart beats requiem, pounding the rhythm of intent
The night speaks fare thee well, the thrashing sea
Speaks portent
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
Burning, longing, nothing could keep him from her now
He flies by the whispering guidance of the clouds
This lonely eternity will end this eve within the
Arms of Gabrielle
The creatures of the night release him to become
The dove again
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
This curse, this need to feed through the centuries
Has grown tiring, so she becomes his history
The fog breaks and she is there wandering on
The jagged cliffs
The fortress comes in view as he descends to meet her kiss
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
The flood carries us away
I'll hold my breath for other days
I won't make this wager, where's the light for me
Now that you've raised the stakes?
And they're always waiting. Fuck waiting!
My hands are surface bound
The rest stays under water
The flood carries us away
I'll hold my breath for other days
And when I hear that voice and everything's okay
Then I'll pray the world my soul to take
With my philosophy expelled, it'd take a saint to give me hell
And I don't know what's real
I'm deteriorating, the most hated
Drown without a sound
True hearts and minds are sinking
The flood carries us away
I'll hold my breath for other days
And when I hear that voice and everything's okay
Then I'll pray the world my soul to take
Suddenly, it hits me that there's something out there for us
But I can't breathe, and I can't shake this sick feeling. I'm half alive.
Suddenly, it hits me; a feeling I've never known.
The flood carries us away
I'll hold my breath for other days
And when I hear that voice and everything's okay
Then I'll pray the world my soul to take
OH C'MON!
I can't believe the drama that I'm in, the flood is getting closer
I don't think they know that I know how to swim
You're feeling numb, from all that has become
It leaves your gums, slips down your tongue and travels fast down towards your lungs
All because I'm leaving you behind.
I feel the pressure
It's coming down on me.
It's turning me black'n blue (Ohhh)
You left me on the side of the road (Side of the road)
And now I've got no place to go.
You've brought the flood!
I cant believe, the troubles that you've caused
The pain is getting stronger, like an open wound without the gauze
It's on my brain, driving me insane
It's on my mind all of the time and if it left, I would be fine.
All because I'm leaving you behind.
I feel the pressure
It's coming down on me.
It's turning me black'n blue (Ohhh)
You left me on the side of the road (Side of the road)
And now I've got no place to go.
You've brought the flood! (You've brought the flood! The flood!)
Leave it be!
I take it back
Take it back!
Leave it be
I take it back
Take it back
Leave it be
Leave it be
Leave it be
I feel the pressure
It's coming down on me.
It's turning me black'n blue (Ohhh)
You left me on the side of the road (Side of the road)
And now I've got no place to go.
You've brought the flood!
I feel the pressure
It's coming down on me.
It's turning me black'n blue (Ohhh)
You left me on the side of the road (Side of the road)
And now I've got no place to go.
You've brought the flood!
I take it back, take it back!
Leave it be
I take it back, take it back!
Leave it be
Leave it be
Turn the lights out in the light house, I saw you coming
Felt the ship wreck, saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling
Just then, that's when I saw your reflection in the sand
Wondering where you were washed up, oh, I ran to the water
I can put my hands down in it
But I won't bring nothing up
Sitting on the shore all day
Waiting on the tide to come
But you can't hold on to water
It fills you up but never stays
It's only good to wash away today
And you're loving me like water
You're slippin' through my fingers' touch
A natural disaster, love
Bringing on the flood, the flood
Love me like a flood, a flood, bring it on
Stayed the night out by the beach house, it's all so quiet
Lit a candle by the window so you might find it
Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home
Still, I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning
I can put my hands down in it, yeah
But I won't bring nothing up
Sitting on the shore all day
Just waiting on the tide to come
But you can't hold on to water
It fills you up but never stays
It's only good to wash away today
And you're loving me like water
You're slippin' through my fingers' touch
A natural disaster, love
Bringing on the flood, the flood
Love me like a flood, a flood, bring it on
I knew the waves were rising
When I felt them all retreating
Went to take a dive in the deep end
Oh, what was I thinking?
But you can't hold on to water
It fills you up but never stays
It's only good to wash away today
And you're loving me like water
You're slippin' through my fingers' touch
A natural disaster, love
Bringing on the flood, the flood
Love me like a flood, a flood, bring it on
Rising and the falling of my tears
Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean
The ocean, the ocean
Are you dancing with the big boys?
Just like you have no choice
All the words you're saying
Fit the games you're playing
Did you just walk away?
Got trapped one day
To leave them all in disarray.
I said this is not happening
It's not the time
It's not the place
I said this is not happening
It's not my faith
It's not the way and
Dancing with the big boys
Walking through a hot breeze
Do you recall my fall, my space in time?
And I was born to this sweet rhyme
Do you believe
the earth is crying?
Do you believe
we're not alone?
Do you believe
the earth is dying?
Do you believe
the lies you're thrown
Do you believe?
I said this is not happening
It's not the time
It's not the place and
I said this is not happening
It's not my call
It's not my faith
And I
Blood red shot yeah the look in your eyes
Ooh Ooh tell me no more
I said this is not happening
It's not the time
It's not the place
I said this is not happening
It's not my call
It's not my faith
Dancing with the big boys
Shooting through the hot breeze
Do you recall my fall, my space in time?
I was born to this sweet rhyme
Do you believe
the earth is dying?
Do you believe?
Do you believe
the earth is crying?
Do you believe?
Do you believe
the earth is dying?
Do you believe?

Parallels of Hell
Destruction from above
Water into fire
God's will be done
Mercy follows mercy
The decision's up to you
Get right with the Christ child
Heed the warning: It's coming soon
You see the food as it's coming
To this place
Nowhere to run and hide
Preachers of righteousness
Are warning you today
To turn from sin
To escape the wrath that's coming
Receive the truth and be saved
The earth is filled with violence
And it will pay
Like nuclear destruction
Could happen any day
Why then would you choose
To refuse the offer in
To the arks type which is Christ child
For a fleeting dance with sin
Ipray once more for an awesome flood,
Cleanse this world drowned in Heaven's blood
Retribution pissing from the sky,
All infection soon purified
Purify all the ugliness that I see,
All of hatred's animosity
Water breaking Mother Nature's womb,
give birth to cleanse this gaping wound
Rain - rain - let your vengeance rain down on me
No race, no faith, no-one will be saved,
World extinction, flooded floating grave
Serenity's dying dove of peace,
Our requiem, our symphony
No more war, no hate nor genocide,
Nothing will stop this ever rising tide
Showers of glass rain down from above,
Mass homicide defines pure love
Let your vengeance rain down on me,
Let the Heavens bleed, Let your vengeance rain down on me
This is the way it used to be
This is the way you used to run to me
Before you let it go
You let me go
These were the things you used to say
These were the things you said would never change
Before you let it go
You let me go
We're so far gone
We left it all behind
Slowly finding out...
This is the end
This is the worst
This is the fallout
These are the things we need to say to make this right
Can we find our way home?
This is the end
This is the worst
This is the fallout
These are the things we need to change to make this right
Will we find our way home?
This is the way it used to be
I never saw you walk away from me
Before you let it go
You let me go
These were the things you held on to
This is the way you used to see things through
Before you let it go
You let me go
We're so far gone
We left it all behind
Slowly finding out...
This can't go on
Everything we had is gone
I think it's safe to say...
This is the end
This is the worst
This is the fallout
These are the things we need to say to make this right
Can we find our way home?
This is the end

You're all I need
We're losing speed
This can't go on

So speak to me
Am I losing you?
This can't go on

This world it needs a cleansing, removing all its filth.
Wearing your masks of envy but I see you still.
For forty days, walk the earth, removing all this curse.
These forty nights, and you're drowning as I fill your lungs.
Hoping hoping hoping, to drown the world.
To drown the world.
And now your world is ending and I'm doing just
And now your world, world is ending, and I'm doing just fine.
Look into my eyes and I can see right through you
This world it needs a cleansing removing all the filth.
Wearing your masks of envy but I see you still.
But I see you still. But I see you, see you, see you still.
This world it needs a cleansing removing all the filth.
Wearing your masks of envy but I see you still.
Hoping hoping hoping, to drown the world.
These nights are longer
But we press on through the flood
The sea is calling
But to go, nobody should
Nobody should
Nobody should
But have we all forgotten what light from our eyes can do
So in the end, the truth will descend
On your head like a rain from above
Why are you waiting
Why are you waiting
The storm has been lifted
Look out to the mountain
Look out to the mountain
The whole thing falls away
But have we all forgotten what light from our eyes can do
So in the end, the truth will descend
On your head like a rain from above
Just fight with your bare hands
It's all coming to an end
The suffering you will endure
Will surely kick your spirit in
Will surely kick your spirit in
I was offered romance at the altar
And now we see I'm flying away
All the things that the world has told me
I lend a deaf ear
We all feel the same
But have we all forgotten what light from our eyes can do
So in the end, the truth will descend
On your head like a rain from above
But have we all forgotten what light from our eyes can do
So in the end, the truth will descend
(The field)
What we waiting for, let's finish it

We can't run no more, we innocent

See, where I'm from I was taught that
Two wrongs don't make a right
But, it'll damn sure get your money back
So, best believe you got's to watch folks
You hit cho' lights, they have, they face off in yo place
Just like a cockroach, tryin' to hit chu' for yo index
Tear some paper out the back and re-arrange your whole contents
That's why, you gotta keep yo history in a book
So, when they look it'll never be a mystery
I've seen people come and leave, comeback and leave
Come back and still ain't stack no G's
So, everybody won't be pushin' buttons
Just the ones who gave they all
When you know they didn't have nothin'
We comin', what chu' gonna do when we run
In a pack against a pit and lay up under the sun?
(The field)
What we waiting for, let's finish it
(The field)
We can't run no more, we innocent
(The field)
What we waiting for, we innocent
(The field)
We can't run no more, let's finish it
(The field)
See, growin' up is like a girlfriend
Ya keep ya cool, take ya time
And when ya day come, you put it in
That's a reflection on ya whole life
From the moments you wake up
To those minutes that you pray at night
Like when they pushed you at the playground
And all ya friends would wonder
Why you yelled 'The field' before you threw down
That's just yo instincts tryin' to tell ya heart
That is ya mother wished the best for you
You'd be tested it from the jump start
So, that's when people come around and wonder
What make you tick, how you do it
But you keep ya business on the under
I ask my folks question every season
They say the Lord blessed every child
Boy he blessed you with a reason
So, with that I go for years and years
On a quest to return and reveal to my peers
(The field)
What we waiting for, let's finish it
(The field)
We can't run no more, we innocent
(The field)
What we waiting for, we innocent
(The field)
We can't run no more, let's finish it
(The field)
What if yo life story was in a book
And they left certain words that only you could say
Because they knew you looked
That's like your future bein' planned for you
You know who real and who fake
And who ya friends and who gon' be loyal
You keep yo thoughts on a level
That don't nobody know what chu' be doin' next
'Cause you change like the weather
You the chosen, the one who reveal
Every battle that we battled and every hill that we build
Your life is their forever burnin' torch
So, the messages you carry
Reach and travel importance
See, in the book you was
This place that people actually lived
They disappeared in the mists of the hemispheres
But when they return they speak
Of travelin' on their journey back home
We shall rise once again and let it be known
(The field)
What we waiting for, let's finish it
(The field)
We can't run no more, we innocent
(The field)
What we waiting for, we innocent
(The field)
We can't run no more, let's finish it
HappyLife, with the machines
Scattered around the room
Look what they made, they made it for me
Happy Technology
Outside, the lions roam
Feeding on remains
We'll never leave, look at us now
So in love with the way we are

The World That The Children Made

The World That The Children Made
Every night, they rock us to sleep
Digital family
Is it real, or is it a dream?
Can you believe in machines?
Outside, the beating sun
Can you hear the screams?
We'll never leave, look at us now
So in love with the way we are

I’ve been looking for the answer to this same old question.
I feel it out but I have never found my way.
With this frustration I can barely close my eyes
And I’m seeing the world in a bloodshot spotlight.
So what’s the difference if we cherish life or waste it all now?
Is there really something out there when we’re gone?
Sometimes I stand on the beach in the sand
With a tear in my eye and I yell at the sky:
[All verses by Profile]
I'ma let the rap world just sit back and max
I be in the lab with my technician makin' tracks
From my crate of old wax, I reinvent with good intent
So you can tell from the sound it's time well spent
Sent from the past to elevate from the mass
You far material just to show you got class
Well I'm a bigger man so I let the nonsense pass
You need to open your eyes, because my mindstates fast
Let it be known, that my wisdom is shown
That perfection is the key to unlock my microphone
I'm penetratin your zone, leavin' all spots blown
But you never would have guessed it from the sound of my tone
When you see me around, just hit me off at the pound
And I'll be the first to show you how the Pro gets down
On that note, I think it's time for me to slide
Never question the fact, it's the sound that we provide
[Dj scratches]
"Skilled in the field, so slide to the side"
"Technical difficulties is through" [x3]
"Skilled in the field, so slide to the side"
"Hey yo, technical difficulties is through"
My pen blends smoothly over paper landscapes
Collective thoughts build as I start to create
The essence of soul is dispensed at my control
? is brought, to move the crowd at every show
ÔCus we provide the sound that exites the underground
Profile, the chosen one to break it down
And that, enables me to flip any track
Over drums that attack, the perfect blend of pure facts
It's time to bring it back to the days of rap scholars
When your rhyme was for real, and not the old mighty dollar
You see, I was there every step of the way
So now you know the reason why my rhyme style sways
I perfect structures of phrases I sellect
And the sound that you hear, let you know that I'm correct
This is a musical journey, and sounds my only guide
I'm skilled in the field, so slide to the side
"Skilled in the field, so slide to the side"
"Technical difficulties is through" [x3]
"Skilled in the field, so slide to the side"
"Hey yo, technical difficulties is through"
Radient thoughts illuminate for the blind
A student of my culture translatin' through rhyme
Educated by time, so check my verbal design
Interject visuals through the use of the mind
It's all about the money nowadays so what's the use
The only fortune I hold, are the gems that I produce
The solution is one, but if you don't make the cut
You be the last in line once the door get shut
The next chapter, page one the conscious rapper
Not in it for fame, so respect is what I'm after
Don't have to wave a gun to help generate funds
So record exec's can start throwin' me crumbs
Top dollar, as I walk the chosen path
Invite the mic device to help me focus my craft
The wisdom is sealed, now it's time to reveal
The actual facts that help me master my field
"Skilled in the field, so slide to the side"
"Technical difficulties is through" [x3]
"Skilled in the field, so slide to the side"
"Hey yo, technical difficulties is through"
"Skilled in the field, so slide to the side"
Behind the sun
discovered an ocean
it covered our houses high with tides
leaving a song
Ruins in nights
In my apartments bedroom
It cluttered our minds with rhythm
Freeing us all
Just wait for it to dive you inside your mind's not whining at all
I could have bent my pride
Its alright
Its alright
Take a ride with me
be afraid of what you see, here
