[Ryu]
Tribal-style ritual
We dance around the totem

In a golden ring of fire
Bangin' on a war drum
Anthem of a shaman dominatin'

Peyote trance
Hopscotch the planet
Barefoot on the hot sand

I'm knee-deep in history
Mystery builds
Tryin' to find a

Style of Beyond secret to steal
But when the doors of perception are cleansed
Only then

Will the truth be revealed
Through an infrared lens
It's the same then as it is now

As it will be
I still be
The touch-tone number three

Letters on your flip-phone
D-E-F to my death
In the flesh

Vocal vacuum
Takin' your breath
Rest $$#ured

When I get busy
There'll be nothin' left
Like a paycheck after taxes

Relay my message
Decay modems and faxes
Internet death

Go to battle swingin' my axes
Cut you in step
Escapin' through secret hatches

Tunnel rats rummage through the ashes
Of what rap was
Before you trapped it

Locked in a box 'bout as big as this room
But you can't keep hip-hop captive
Uh-uh

[Takbir]
Hey, yo-ring of fire ritual

Bellydance swing
Cyberspace visual
Galactic Apache

Salman evaded
While you groovin' at the disco
See what's really crackin' like Nabisco

Powwow
Festival of flows
By the S.o.B. $$#assins

Rain-tribe
Thunderclouds crashin'
Cosmic

Tomahawks dawn
For my tribal renaissance
And ceremony that's catered to the art

The origin of underground sounds
Bein' brought up to the surface
Auditory preachers of a serpent

Cathedral
Draws from Milan
Around a golden-arc steeple

For days
Givin' praise
To the people

Caught up in a circle for the trance
We .... detour
Where the .... is
And now they go and dose
Insomniac sleeper

Injectin' my syringe
Directly through the speaker

[Takbir]
Hi
It's like a rhymin' time machine
Move through melodies

Lightfoot
Rhythmic MCs
So let it be
Crossbow
Triggered the lost low

A Cherokee on a quest
Against archrival
Nemesis

[Ryu]
Ceremonial headdress

Got you wide open like the dentist
Say "Aaahhh"
My sentence got you punks
Jumpin' fences
Ha-without a weapon
You're defenseless
Comin' out the trenches

With hatchets and
Musical monkey wrenches

[Takbir]
Yeah
Yo, all we wanna do
Is make your neck snap

Takbir and Ryu
With Rhettmatic on the track
Energetic act
To keep the club packed
Just havin' fun
When we rappin'


[Ryu]
Flow another optic explosion
Amplified junkie of a
Breakbeat chosen
Monkey .... pumpin' style
Out for justice
Competition frozen

Lash out in a ....
Motion sickness
Ocean of a school of
Vicious fishes
Half-staff flag for your caviar
Wishes on a ....
Straight from the starship

2000 prophets
Drop it
Hot topic flow for discussion

[Takbir]
Man, you all ain't knowin'
How we bustin'
Reignin' on the average everday chump
Crushin'
Year 2000
2000

[Ryu]
Say what?
