DILATED PEOPLES LYRICS - The Shape Of Things To Come

"The Shape Of Things To Come"

(feat. Aceyalone)



"Ay yes y'all"



[Iriscience]

The only thing constant is change

with that....its the shape of things to come



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 flourescent

[Aceyalone]You got light?

[Iriscience]

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

I been sparking in sections

And blessing mics with my prescence

Since many were pre-pubescent

Puberty adolescent

Perhaps you need a lesson in

Addressing with respect an'

Too many feel inadequate without their little weapon



[Aceyalone]

It's like I got the whole world against me

Need to get intensely

A head full of headaches

And a hand full of sissies

Them so flimsy so why there one MC

There wasn't one before hasn't 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 skies a kiss

I give suckers a kiss

Some people like my old styles better than this but



[Iriscience]

Yo I'm Spacey like Kevin

And some do knowledge of seven

Praise Jesus and Jah Buddah Allah or just Heaven



[Aceyalone]

Yeah and some like it moderate

Some like a lot of it

Whichevery way I go we got something

To get you move up out of it



[Iriscience]

Some will be statistics

Some will be reverends

Dimes become pennies like dimes become eleven



[Aceyalone]

To some we kind of thought of it

As teaching the dumb

Ace-One and Dilated

The shape of things to come



[Chorus][Iriscience]

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



[Chorus: Evidence]



[Aceyalone]

I wax 'em I tax 'em

Here's Iriscience - ask him

From Arkansas to Aspen

The futuristic jazzmen

I'm telepathic

Moving 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



[Iriscience]

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



[Chorus: Aceyalone]



[Chorus: Evidence]



[Iriscience]

Aiyyo I center punch punchlines

Shine when it's crunchtime

I back to beatbox, rap battles at lunchtime

I sketch a piece and fill it in with design

Ooh no, Aceyalone

Raw bright like sunshine

Platform squad standing 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



[Aceyalone]

Yeah its 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 penetrating 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



[Chorus: Iriscience, Aceyalone and Evidence]



[Babu scratches "Ay yes y'all"]



Y'all ready to bounce for us?

It's that shit

It's that LA shit
