HIEROGLYPHICS lyrics : "Powers That Be"

[Opio]
They say I'm like Bruce Willis...Unbreakable, Die Hard
Ture Sickness with this mic on the tripod

But I'm not Chow Yun Fat
Dig I'm still a pillar of stone
Flows enter your skulls

Mash on your whole malitia like I'm Hannibal
Imagine you the antelope, and I'm the king of the jungle
Animal instict...phenominal stamina

Just think about a man on the brink of insanity
And it's me!
You not a rapper, you a movie star checkin who we are

Be the coup d'état...molotov @@#!tail
Check and you'll get scarred and schooled regardless
I'm marvelous majestic...no !@$!ed %#@!

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 it's 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)
It's us against the world
$#&@ 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!
%#@! it's all we know!


[Chorus] X 4
The powers that be

It's in you
It's in me
An Emcee

That's all we know..

[Del]

Whatever, I don't know why you even play yourself to that degree
You laugh at me?
Like I won't slap the teeth out your grill

That's 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 $$#umptions!

You a sad sack, mad wack
Straight up and down $$#-crack
And that's 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 you're fictional
I'm 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
It's in you
It's in me

An Emcee
That's 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 sun's 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 let's 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 parlé'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 ^!$$%z 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!
I'm magical and when I grab these flows

Out the hat it blows 'em back to the last 3 rows
We mashin, massive action-packed %#@!
Hit 'em with a passion and that's it!

[Chorus] X 4
The powers that be
It's in you

It's in me
An Emcee
That's all we know.
