The water level's rising, the water level's rising
|
Everyone alive sing: Who will turn the tide?
|
Bring about land grabs sand bags bring 'em out
|
It's hard to yell with the Atlantic in your mouth.
|
|
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick,
|
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick.
|
|
One becomes two becomes three becomes four
|
Our sound waves run your city like parkour
|
Provokin' encores but we know you want more
|
That's what we're doing this for.
|
|
Four becomes three becomes two becomes one
|
The metamorphosis cannot be undone
|
We burst forth from the land toward the sun
|
And transform, the advance has begun.
|
|
Like Mary J I'm obliged to hollerate and prophesy
|
Nostradamus on the topics often dropped on open mics
|
When both sides are vocalized the crowd spits the dopest lines
|
Efforts gain significance like overdrives of dopamine.
|
|
These narcissists forget to do their exercise, confused by what success implies
|
Name drop successive tries in drive thrus to get extra fries
|
Emancipating free speech when I run my mouth terminal cancer patients say 'Hey when's the C.D. coming out?'
|
|
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick,
|
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick.
|
|
Rhyming enigma I keep 'em guessing
|
My rhymes are like ribbons when I wrap the present
|
Recapture lessons, the ancestors prefaced
|
In deference to how we break it down to the essence
|
'Cause there're cracks in the surface, nobody wants to see 'em
|
Strategic war games don't call 'em human beings
|
They call 'em like they want 'em for a prop in their battle rap
|
But Solomon and Math will dap after play the track backwards
|
Because there's too much death energy
|
Let it be a muse sing to your best enemy
|
Never let it be your task master, let's finish things alive with oppression and disaster diminishing.
|
|
One becomes two becomes three becomes four
|
Our sound waves run your city like parkour
|
Provokin' encores but we know you want more
|
That's what we're doing this for.
|
|
Four becomes three becomes two becomes one
|
The metamorphosis cannot be undone
|
We burst forth from the land toward the sun
|
And transform, the advance has begun.
|
|
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick,
|
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick.
|
|
Break, them, down. Break, them, down. Break, them down...
|
Break, them, down. Break, them, down. Break, them down...
