Development

"Underground intelligent hip hop development

Progression is our intent, ladies and gentlemen"

They say possession is nine tenths

Well we possess mind vents

To filter the rhymes sent

From deep down inside

Hence the precision and timing

Essential to rhyming

If you wish to pierce the cerebral lining

You see image is nothing

Imagination is everything

Is there anything you wear that's more important than what you think?

I think not... as I bump Aesop

Cruise to Herbie Hancock and fuckin' rock out with Snot

You wanna look for me?

I'll be in charity shops

I ain't buyin my shirts

I'm buyin' my damn pants and socks

Bitch-what?

This shit's inside of me

I ain't riding the beat

It's the beat that is riding me

I ain't an alcoholic

I just drink a lot

And maybe I'm a genius

Or maybe I just think a lot

My intellect in retrospect compared to some...

"Ay yo Pip you know that second verse was all straight garbage?"

What you talkin' 'bout man it's not that bad... it was alright.

"I know what I'm talkin' 'bout. Give these fuckers something new!"

What am I supposed to do? What...?

"Come on man"

Alright man, how about this?

I remember hearing Mos Def rhyme the alphabet

I just sat there in silence

As a sign of respect

I knew what I had to do

And that's what happened next

I rhymed the periodic table to stay one step ahead

See in the periodic table hydrogen is number one

'Cause hydrogen is what puts the shine in the sun

Through nuclear fusion and when it's done

It leaves element number two

Helium... helium is the second lightest gas that there is

So we use it in balloons we give to little kids

Then there's lithium often used to treat mental problems

Beryllium don't conduct electric currents, it stops them

Boron can be used to make things harden

And that smoke that's coming out of your exhaust, carbon

Carbon is arguably the most important element

And nitrogen in the air is almost eighty percent

The rest of the air is mainly oxygen

And fluorine is the lightest of the halogens

OK that's enough teaching

I ain't trying to bore ya

I'm just trying to be a positive role model for ya

'Cause in my town I'm blessed with many role models

So many that sometimes the mind just boggles

See KRS is my teacher

Slick Rick's my ruler

Chuck D's my preach'

I'm just a preschooler

I've still got growing to do though

I ain't trying to fool ya

But compared to all the other kids in my class

I'm much taller

I'm much taller
