The Shape of Things to Come

Ay, yes y'all

The only thing constant is change

With that, it's the shape of things to come, yeah

Yo, I'm the open-est emotions, I'm a river in straight

A crystal clean lake, yo, the essence of skin

The form of a luminescent bright light fluorescent

(You got light?)

Don't wait till it's dark to ask questions

I been sparkin' in sections and blessing mics with my presence

Since many were pre-pubescent puberty adolescent

Perhaps you need a lesson in, addressin' with respect an'

Too many feel inadequate without their little weapon

It's like I got the whole world against me, need to get intensely

A head full of headache hes and a hand full of sissies

Them so flimsy so why there one MC

There wasn't one before hasn't been one since me

A gangster of love, I come from up above

I give the mic a tug, I give the world a hug

I give the skies a kiss, I give suckers a kiss

Some people like my old styles better than this but

Yo, I'm Spacey like Kevin and some do knowledge of seven

Praise Jesus and Jah, Buddha, Allah or just Heaven

Yeah, and some like it moderate and some like a lot of it

Whichever way I go we got somethin' to get you move up out of it

Some will be statistics and some will be reverends

Dimes become pennies like dimes become eleven

To some we kind of thought of it, as teaching the dumb

Ace-One and dilated, the shape of things to come

I catch rec and tangle in circles with squares

Triangles to test if indeed you're prepared

This is the shape of things to come

This is the shape of things to come

I catch rec and tangle in circles with squares

And triangles to test if indeed you're prepared

This is the shape of things to come

This is the shape of things to come

I wax 'em I tax 'em, here's Iriscience, ask him

From Arkansas to Aspen, the futuristic jazzmen

I'm telepathic, movin' through hella traffic

I know my demographics, see how this was crafted and drafted

There's precision in the incision

I'm not Christian or Catholic or any other religion

I'm just man with a steel in his hand

I shoot the gift from blessed to spark where it land

And it landed in the sand where the pyramids blaze

And this is how the dictionary defines such a place

A polyhedron with a polygonal base

Median and common vertex, triangular face

Who came in the home and ripped the cats stole

Stripped the limestone to line they fine home

I cram to understand, their dirty deeds in song

While we bringing you the shape of things to come

I catch rec and tangle in circles with squares

And triangles to test if indeed you're prepared

This is the shape of things to come

This is the shape of things to come

I catch rec and tangle in circles with squares

And triangles to test if indeed you're prepared

This is the shape of things to come

This is the shape of things to come

Aiyyo, I center punch punchlines, shine when it's crunch time

I back to beat box, rap battles at lunchtime

I sketch a piece and fill it in with design

Ooh no, Aceyalone, raw bright like sunshine

Platform squad, standin' on the brink

Yo I touch the world, got three but two blink

Rakaa aka Iriscience lenscrafters

And blend with hash the self defense master

Yeah, it's too bad we control fire, wind

I know that you bad you batted a thousands I remember

Who's the baddest with the apparatus tell me again

Take ahold of your heart without penetratin' the skin

See I didn't invent it, I just perfected it

I never intended to really connect with it

But once I got in it, I redirected it

Now I change the world and get respect with it and a check with it

It ain't nothin' new under the sun

Fool, I ain't afraid of the size of your gun

The flesh is weak plus they speak foul tongue

Take the breath from their lungs as they swung

And they hung and they sunk

I catch rec and tangle in circles with squares

And triangles to test if indeed you're prepared

This is the shape of things to come

This is the shape of things to come

I catch rec and tangle in circles with squares

And triangles to test if indeed you're prepared

This is the shape of things to come

This is the shape of things to come

Yes y'all

Yes y'all

Yes y'all

Yes y'all
