| It’s not a wrong thing
|
| To be addicted to the microphone like a heron fiend
|
| I’ll tell you one thing:
|
| You’ll never catch me fronting
|
| As I proceed to give the people what they wanting
|
| You’re making some green…
|
| But not for glamour or fashion
|
| I’m stacking cash until I can get Moms a mansion
|
| All from rapping?
|
| Nah, man, there’s many plans
|
| Like investing in land
|
| It started all from impressing the fans
|
| With brand new flows
|
| And you know
|
| All the way from gangsta clones to weirdos
|
| Fools used those
|
| But we ain’t tripping
|
| Give respect when you see this
|
| You need us
|
| Or your rhymes underdeveloped like a fetus
|
| Those that know not doze
|
| And it shows
|
| When we broke out the knock
|
| Hoes hopped out they clothes
|
| That’s positive feedback
|
| Yep, The Prose
|
| I’m poised, we never pose, you’ll never know
|
| From '93 til infinity we’ve been inventive
|
| Creating the bump is our only incentive
|
| And it’s been a long time since I feel I’ve been felt
|
| But the only thing I fear is fear itself
|
| So you know what we gots to do
|
| Maybe could we keep it within the crew
|
| Like it should be?
|
| Never givin' out
|
| We’re livin' out our dreams
|
| If there’s something I can’t live without
|
| That’s my team
|
| You never knew…
|
| Hieroglyphics
|
| Hip-hop is vintage
|
| Underground like silos
|
| Launching long-range ballistics
|
| World-renowned, we ground-breaking
|
| Musical boundaries
|
| Runnin' circles around emcees
|
| (You never knew)
|
| It’s like that and a, a Hieroglyphics, yeah
|
| (And you know)
|
| It’s like that and a, a Hieroglyphics, yeah
|
| (You never knew)
|
| It’s like that and a, a Hieroglyphics, yeah
|
| (And you know)
|
| It’s like that and a, a Hieroglyphics, yeah
|
| It’s like…
|
| Del, been rhyming for more than a decade
|
| Onto the next stage, while emcees need aid
|
| Stay paid, I’m still grade-A
|
| None of that tomfoolery
|
| As you can see this shit ain’t nothing new to me
|
| Utterly hovering over other things material
|
| You’re stuck in the here and now
|
| Plus you’re sweating profusely, here’s a towel
|
| Your fears are now reality
|
| When I take your dream states
|
| And elaborate on how your team’s fake
|
| Like phony IDs, but sometimes I feel like
|
| Only I see through the charade you’ve made
|
| In today, but hey, tomorrow it’s played
|
| And then they got a new fool in your place to be okayed
|
| Hieroglyphics
|
| Hip-hop is vintage
|
| Invented in days back
|
| Rekindling in ways that many thought was lost
|
| In this contemporary maze of methods to floss
|
| We finding trees and trails to blaze
|
| Boundaries to cross
|
| We can be found beyond the bounds of reason
|
| Or earthbound, heatin' up the Coliseum
|
| They rushed the stage full-throttle in Chicago
|
| Our brains interlocked
|
| Where fakin' emcees get caught with the 40-bottle
|
| Or get their chains snatched, pronto
|
| We unstoppable, droppin' flows in Toronto
|
| Maneuverin' through Vancouver and on to Japan
|
| Where they put major grands in my hand
|
| Follow…
|
| Straight from the heart we set apart from the rest an'
|
| Our perfection on the microphone was predestined
|
| World-renowned, we ground-breaking
|
| Musical boundaries
|
| Runnin' circles around emcees
|
| (You never knew)
|
| It’s like that and a, a Hieroglyphics, yeah
|
| (And you know)
|
| It’s like that and a, a Hieroglyphics, yeah
|
| (You never knew)
|
| It’s like that and a, a Hieroglyphics, yeah
|
| (And you know)
|
| It’s like that and a, a Hieroglyphics, yeah
|
| It’s like…
|
| (You never knew)
|
| It’s like that and a, a Hieroglyphics, yeah
|
| (And you know)
|
| It’s like that and a, a Hieroglyphics, yeah
|
