By-pass the ladder and gather among gods
I’m on it next like the record skips
Different how we think might you agree
[The Grouch:] Damn it feels good to see people up on it
They gave their life it was their turn
Eventually kill all means of relative thinking of the light
Hope these words mean more to you with each play
[Murs:] Life can’t weigh me down I’m above my opponents
That this was all about criiiime
Instill intelligent thoughts in a pill to be swallowed at will
Height you will see in my spit I invite you to be
Shoot the shit to make the whole world blink
[Aesop:] We makin’ this rappin’ sound like the last jam right
I squint and blink yo
Travelin’ the globe tryin’ to make your city hot
Obey their master’s will though those whom choose will
Still ignorance fills the minds of the blind
Just another human being jam packed full of thoughts
But your love and respect help me thru each day
Not up on the jock just up in the spot
[Intro: Murs]
Who came in light the way the burn
Styles ain’t shit when they thought
Monsters in the fight against what’s really right
[Murs:]
You’re off the richter like the legend rips
P-I-M-P mind is empty B-I tempt me
Hoping that my struggles and my efforts weren’t in vain
Life thru the existence of man
I can only be as perfect as this culture I exalt
(Yeah) Damn it feels good to see people up on it
Stuck behind waiting in line to find some substance
Will man survive this knowledge of skill
[Chorus:]
But it’s still good to see the Sayers saying it’s in the music
Save me from the pain aim hustle we’ll
I keep it crackin’ like the pops in a hit
Stuck in the dark without no sight
I aim like one eye closed good eye open
Living legends
This eternal plan to put power in the hands
[Bicasso:] But keeping it focused so folks can all shine bright
Of life never exciting the might which will
Some tense individuals build a fence around the ritual
’cause there’s always room to grow
I’m tryin’ to reach great
A clear focus with a harsh intent
With they’re mouths open choked up over my ink you flinch
Connections made like a kick in the ass
If my song works your soul then that really means a lot
[Scarub:]
[Aesop:]
Tryin’ to bring about a change and fuck that I did
Live with me methodically raise up your prodigy
I don’t know what you took us for
We nudge you on like the jab of a elbow
Mind is full but maybe partial
[The Grouch:]
Go with the one fused or power the drum and choose
Ya’ll all that I got and I know it’s cliché
The role makes song to prolong the motion of the movement
Life can’t weigh me down I’m above my opponents
One of few rappers really speaking to these kids
Hard up on my rock now I’m bumpin’ Iggy Pop
Night breeds evil though not all people are
The righteous kid a mike instead
[Aesop:] But keeping it focused so folks can all shine bright
Life love light liberty logically
I fast for clarity share with me odds get
[Bicasso:] Makin’ this rappin’ feel like a last jam right
[Chorus]
Operation maintain muscle built
[Murs:] Damn it feels good to see people up on it
To fight to live we might just give
It ought to be that way that way’s a smart one
Overcome we show it the sun exudes
Help you thru a shitty spot
It’s a penny for your thought now
Don’t gotta be that way your way is art done
Some say my approach is wild
Damn it feels good
They’re right I never been tamed
Vision quest who paid the price
[Bicasso:]
And then reach out into the next plane
We had to learn to mourn their death
You follow thru like the swing of a fist
As real as you are is as real as it gets
Flirt with the future like moths do flames
Make a million in a minute off of getting caught
Of those unwilling to watch the land of the slaves
With the truth that is this is proof I is
It’s like rebirth ignite the rest
The hype is dead but like they said
But we gonna take it and split and be cool with it
