What's pleasing to the eye
In the delusion of my sight
Is not what I find when I reach into the light
I have lost my mind
I'm walking through time
Deluded as the next guy
Pretending and hoping to find
That distant peace of mind

I don't know
Who does know
There is no
Where to go

It's not so simple as I try to wish
But then again what is?
There is no other worthy quest
So on I go

I don't know
Who does know
There is no
Where to go

I don't know
Who does know
Where to go

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

"Bet you're wondering what's been goin' on
Bet you think I almost lost my mind"

My DJ's got the cuts and the beats are on
We're comin' with the limericks and we're comin' strong
And the rhythm's on time to every word and rhyme
When it comes to keep it real I keep it really wrong
At the risk of sounding crass I would like to mention
That I'm well aware of your wack intentions
To usurp my prose you so and so
It's my primary bone of contention
I tell you everybody I've had it
Ah with all these people with static
I'll go insane if it don't rain
Sucker MC's are problematic

I love it when you hit those switches
A curve ball's what my pitch is
So here we here we come
Like dum ditty dum
I keep all five boroughs in stitches

"You're right man"

Sound sound sound sound sound sound
Sound sounds sweeter through the echolex
And It'll spin you around and throw you in a hex
Until you feel no pain inside your brain
All your worries are soothed by the sound effects

You read it in the Post and the Daily News
Listen everybody let's show improve
Don't let me begin about heroin
Living six feet deep just ain't the move

We're giving you soul power
I like it sweet and sour
When it comes to rhymes and beat designs
I'm at the control tower

Tell me what makes you so afraid
Of all those people you say you hate
Just give it one time for your mind
And let's try to negotiate
C'mon Ah let's try to negotiate
C'mon uh Ah let's try to negotiate

"Bet you're wondering what's been goin' on
Bet you think I almost lost my mind"
"Bet you think I almost lost my mind"

ELECTRIFY

"Electrify-Ele-Electrify-Electrify"
"Electrify-Ele-Electrify-Electrify"
"Electrify-Ele-Electrify.."

Words comin' forth like water from the tap
Clap tracks line the spaces places papers people stack
Back track through the minutes when the thoughts went insane
I pulled the picture off the cover and blew out the mind games
Ah People say this is the playlist of the void non-bound
But I can say this is the plainness of the peace I've found
It's not the sorrow or the pity that we hope to dismantle
It's just the cast of past dice lighting both ends of the candles
Scandelescent in the means I have dreamed on the schemes
Reunited in the times of such picturesque scenes So..
Can I get a witness to testify
Open your eyes realize electrify

"Electrify-Electrify-Ele-Electrify"
"Electrify-Electrify-Ele-Electrify"
"Electrify-Electrify-Ele-Electrify"
"Electrify-Electrify-Ele-Electrify"

So I plan and I scam and write it off on my taxes
It's times like these I'll just go with the decisions of the masses
And to the crowds who've come before with their profit massing ways
To the greed that fucked it up and brought it down to today
With pain I stand sane and remain holding strong
Whilst all around me those who clowned me are now drowning by the throngs
It's illogical the actions that are typically displayed
A set back ain't all that much problem to invade
So I will glow like a lantern on a new moon night
I'll fight violence with these hands that weren't built to fight
But like a furnace burning coal my goals are bound to burn in flames
Whether achieved or dismantled by the agendas displayed Uh..
Can I get a witness to testify?
Open your eyes realize electrify

"Electrify-Electrify-Ele-Electrify"
"Electrify-Electrify-Ele-Electrify"
"Electrify-Electrify-Ele-Electrify"
"Electrify-Electrify-Ele-Electrify"

"Listen.."

Something on the windowsill
Caught her eye and held her still
The cars pass by outside
Nowhere left to hide

Picture this now crystal clear
Nothing left to hold her here
And creeping up meanwhile
Traces of a smile

Something on the windowsill
Caught her eye and held her still
The cars pass by outside
If I could fly
Open wide to see if I could fly

Something on the windowsill
Something on the windowsill

"unite"

Yeah old time
New school old school
Keep it on and on

Uh.. Yea..
Goin' off the hook like Latrell Spreewell
I've got the ill technique so you know me fe well
We be kickin' bass all up in your face
And when it comes to beats well I'm the rhythm ace
Now if you check my pulse it beats skull snaps
I keep all my rhymes in my Le Sportsac
So what if I'm a ham and cheese on rye
I gots to do my thing and that's no lie
Well ice is cold and fire is hot
And when it comes to competition we've got them locked
U-N-I-T-E
A little shout to Ian and little Zoe
One can wonder why but can't deny
If we could work it out it would be so fly
We'll never know unless we try
So tell me party people what's your zodiac sign

Breakdancers of the world unite

"Oh shit.." "Yeah"

BBoys of the world unite

"Well wicked"

I went inside the deli and my man's like what
I write the songs that make the whole world suck
I need to break it down every chance I get
So Ssshhh we keep it raw on the set
Automation circulation
Well this is for the people all around the nations
I got books with hooks and it looks like rain
Would someone on the Knicks please drive the lane
Now rhymes are montaquilla on a track by us
I've got to keep my mind clear so I don't bust
If you got bad breath then maybe try scope
And if you wash your ass you best use soap
Now people of the world you realize
We got to get together and harmonize
I feel I'm comin' down with the bugallo flu
"Explain to me really what doctors must..xqzzawzu.."

Ravers of the world unite

"Come on now.."

We're the scientists of sound
We're mathematically puttin' it down
When lightning strikes best grab a ground
Got to get up to get down

I've got the terminator style with a touch of the tweak
Technique 1200's I'm known to freak
I don't like to fight, I don't carry a piece
I wear permanent press so I'm always creased
Mike D with the rump shakin' action
Do it like this for the intergalaction
Asana daily so I'm very flexible
I'm a Scorpio so you know I'm very sexual
Shouts to Rach and my brother Matthew
In money makin' it's how we do
I be smokin' roaches in the vestibules
In the next millennium I'll still be old school
High roller ah big baller
I call 'em crullers but you know they're called crawlers
I keep it movin' to the broad daylight
BGirls of the world unite alright

Keep it on and on Keep it on and on
Keep it on and on Keep it on and on
Keep it on and on Keep it on and on
Keep it on and on Keep it on and on
Keep it on and on Keep it on and on
Keep it on and on Keep it on and on
Keep it on and on Keep it on and on

Hehehahaa.. ah with the rump shakin' action..

Coffin going around Have you seen mister Brown
Coffin going around going around the town
Have you seen mister Brown
Whispering voices whispering voices
Whispering voices have you seen mister Brown
They who want to control always lose control
They who wants everything always lose everything
Coffin going around Have you seen mister Brown in town
Have you seen mister Brown
They who want total control always lose control
Some always lose their sole for silver and gold
Silver and gold are by none
Was in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
Rise up and walk rise up and walk
Rise up and walk rise up and walk
A weepin' time weepin' time and reapin' time
Weepin' time and creepin' time
Reap what you sow
Rockin' comin' from the weepin' mind
and all that I reap is mine
So you can not reap what is mine
Say
Was in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
Black ganja cigarette
Kindly weed and ganja marijuana lung's breath
Rise up and walk rise up and clap
Rise up and hap rise up and lift up your cap
Lift up your cap and rise up and hap
Do the thunder clap great hall of fire on the sky
And reap your time weep your mind
Weepin' time reapin' time harvest harvest time
You reap what you sow I reap what I sow
Coffin going around have you seen mister Clown
He used to call himself mister Brown and king sat down
He no longer miss the town
He not know that I miss the crown and missed the ground
What's comin' up from under ground we'll weep in time
