[Intro]
We've just landed
Alright send a search party out
Duh, don't get caught up on this planet man
These humans are crazy
Just don't even show them your micrpphone
Cause then you know what?
They wanna give you a record deal and then
You end up dead you know what I mean?
It's like body snatchers
But you know what?
We love hip hop
Stop, please stop please
Okay here we go

[Verse 1]
Holding my raps
Olden is golden and black
Extolling virtues of rap
With monkeys riding my back
I see them falling
Doing commercials and balling
I'm not a hater but she's closing the gate
And we stalling
Woke up in the early morning
I heard a voice that showed me the things to come
And told me I had a choice
To build it 300 cubits by 50 cubits
Driking thinking I'm stupid but deep in my heart I knew it
Money and fame could lead to emcee murder
You think you can escape but you can't take it any further
You call it writer's block
But you stop cause the vine is empty
Hip hop's not dead, it's really the mind of the emcee

[Hook]
It's all around me
It's emcee murder
Though God has found me
I thought I heard the
Sound of a thousand angels
It's the sound of danger
Know myself but I'm still a stranger
Emcee murder, emcee murder (oh)

[Verse 2]
I'll be damned if I do
And damned if I don't
My soul won't allow me to fake on the phone
Rocking the chrome
Another seed gets sown
Anonymous, I'm hailin from parts that's unknown
I looked to the heavens above to spread love
But emcees keep faking hoping to make the bacon
Matters mistaken, cause who we are is not physical
Bury mystical with the mind non typical
But, they want the cash flow
They steady scheming for the number one spot
These emcees they won't last though
I really feel somebody's watching me
From the third the star and telling us who we are
In this universe we like a speck of dust
You can't expect to trust man is living for the lust
Everbody wants the eye in the sky to come and save us
But maybe, the planet itself will terminate us with the

[Hook 2x]

See this here
This is crucial
Yeah

This is an emergency
They shot down in the door
They did it cause they paid a fee
Now theres nothing to die for
All the kids from miles around
Are fools in paradise
Dont know about the firing sound
So this scene isnt I saw

Come in bat me fly away
Ja ja come and zoe I like see another day
All I think about if I were just to run away
Will I come back to love you now?

I dont want to change the world
I only want to stop pretending

What you say? Come again
What you say? Come again now

Nothing left to the little bird
I only hope youre all ascending high

What you say? Come again
What you say? Come again now

All around my home town
They try to chop me down
But the truth shall not forsake me
Take me up to higher grounds

And ooohh-hoooo
Youre the light when the feeling is dark
Youre pretending the game is a rule
Because youre born and youre dying my heart

I dont want to change the world
I only want to stop pretending

What you say? Come again
What you say? Come again now

I will never let you down
Ill be right here beside you, hanging around
So if you think you let me down
You leave me here in silence, without a sound

Change words
Ch-change verse
We change verbs

Cause why would I change when theres no one to play the time?

[Chorus x2]
I tried it, I couldn't find it
Now I just wanna get back to me
Awe baby, hoo hoo
Back into the man I used to be

[Verse 1]
Things that I said I wouldn't do, I did 'em
Secrets below the service of truth I hid 'em
This mankind is past, but can he erase
The tears of a million years is human race
Of animals, that taught to walk upright
Then slave all day and fall in a trance at night
Flowing the planet, trying to find missing links
Like the men we used to be and always suppose to think
Mysteries, maybe not
It's getting hot, we better configure the plot, but
I hold a pen with the grip so tight
That'a squeeze the ink out'ta the page, and write a song for the people
Came up from the underground, now I write above on a hovercraft sound
This microphone, like an an amphetamine
Keeping me clean, speaking in dreams
So nature can intervene, just for a scene

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I walk the long path alone, my feet hurt
Lost some friends along the way, I did dirt
I went to church, I tried everything
From leaving my body, to watching the birds sing
For hours, so I could feel heavenly powers
Had been across the universe and inside of flowers
But what is it worth, i'm still just a man on the earth
Rappers are acting like man tan
Can I be candid, I can't stand it
Rap bandit, got Kheaven acting frantic
I wanna swing my sword decapitate

But what is a man if he acts like an ape
So I sit back, planning my great escape
Load up my EPS and peruse my record crate
The man I used to be, I can only see by looking beyone me
So what is reality, I don't know

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Oops, wrong song, stop it stop it
You know what
I woke up in the morning
I took a trip to the corner store
That's when I heard my calling
But i'd never heard the voice of truth before
So I kept on walking
Pretended I didn't see
Walked by a window and my reflection said to me
You could try all the same
But you'll never know this mystery
There's no pile on your plane
So you're not the man you used to be
Try all the game, but you'll never know this mystery
When your pile has no plane
Said you're the man you used to be seen
Holla and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Yo, microphones get ripped holding us back
K dash rocking it out, rocking the cold style
Making it up, go along singing my song
Woke up, in the early morn didn't know what was going on
Whatever, I don't really know
Flows like an immaculate goat what up, whatever

It's high now
So low it's high
Like this, check it out yo
Took a trip on a bus that didn't know
Met a girl sellin' drinks at the disco
Said truth comes back when you let it go
Seems complicated cause it's really so simple
Walkin' down Yonge Street on a Friday
Can't follow them, gotta do it my way
No fast lane, still on a highway
Movin' in and out, no doubt it's the right...
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... check out the crabs in the bucket
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... check out the crabs in the bucket

It's like this, you know what i mean..
It's like flys on the windscreen, writing on walls
square these clones claim there havin a ball
foolin' themselves just before last call
Tic-a-tic-a-toc tic-a-tic-a-toc
Clock strikes twelve, clock strikes one
Smoking gun put these fools on the run
I know it's not that simple, I know it's not that hard
when there's...
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... check out the crabs in the bucket
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... check out the crabs in the bucket

Yeah na I mean
Yeah, I heard you man, yo, check, yo,
It's a conniption, fit in the microphones flit
I take it higher like a bird on a wire, retire the fire
I never cause I'm just moving on up
Chewsin' to touch, the unseen, craving the clutch
The most inevitable, legible pyro-mania
Slaying the devil, and send em back to Transylvania
Strangely enough, I am on that side of the ghetto
From my heavy metal, will settle the puppets like Gepetto
Damm, if mirrors where created by sand
when I'm looking in the water for reflections of man
Understand the minds above time when it's empty
Emcee, tragically hip ahead by a century
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... check out the crabs in the bucket
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... check out the crabs in the bucket

Yeah,
It's so hard to remain authentic
Everything around me is changing,
Even the earth is moving in two different places in outer space
But..
One thing remains the same..
Till the end of time
I think I'll remain,
I think I'll just stay?

A b-Boy standin in my b-Boy stance (x8)

From the top of the highest summit, again we run it.
A hundred and forty four shimmering lights stunnin
To quick for the human eye to catch a glimpse
You know pimps cannot convince with bigger attempts of emcee'in,
Blowing word to the wind,
While we conscend to limit the sins and pretend
We're still human, when if fact were only half, the other path extends infinity do the math
I try to laugh, but they pull me down like crabs in a bucket
With hands in my pocket, I don't really laugh
Heaven only knows, the keeps invading the flows that turns black pros to white foes?
Your just supposin have you heard my words moving at light speed and getting blurred.
It's all so incredible decibels at glance standing in a be-stance

This one leads the way
Now cut it up, cut it up back to back, on the wheels of steel, cut it up back to back

Elevate, meditate, eliminate-thoughts from my past keep knocking upon my gate
Shouldn't let em in, the answers not to debate
But to observe the debating and then we can understate

Yo party people listen up at the drop of dime,
They took cameras to Africa for pictures to rhyme
Over old...yes, the great pretenders
Religious entertainers who want to be life savers
Damn...another dollar for the mind, another cold ? hoping
They can't find, they can't copy or get pictures with no lines,
I guess it's just a case of the blind leading the blind
But, I'm flippin and steppin' and rockin' the roll, take the control
Payin' my tolls, whose in control?
I'm playin' a roll so people will remember that
I'm just a servant of rap, hopin to bring it back

<i>Lyrics &copy; Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i>

This is an ambush

Yo, check it
Lookin' at my watch it's about that time
To ascend with this art of Zen another rhyme
Manifested in the physical miracle emceein'
Leadin' to a revolution or solution of seein'
The mind as it rotates make no debate
When I regulate
All agendas will terminate
Cause we cut and slice
Irrelevence to the bone
And decapitate rappers that idolize Al Capone
Or Jimmy Hopper
Not a hip hop copper
Just a vigilante with a mic that'll shot ya
Chopped the
Beat up ammo
Proceeded to rock the
Bells livin' quite well still we gotta hop the
Train, raw like Big Dane Kane
Plus I'm born on the same day as Kurt Cobain
Rap nirvana call me the beat pirana
Without the drama
Yeah

[chorus]
Don't get this wrong this revolution song
Hopin' the wind can blow your way for once
A man is truly dead when confident
That's why we're all still waiting here so long

Astrologically
I'm the water and the fish
Made a wish now I'm stuck for lyrical catalyst
I don't eat fish
Chicken or hamburger
But I eat phony emcees on a hot plate
God's great
Magnificient and beneficient
This is militant
In particular significant
To the people
Masses, lower classes
Makin' the hardest of hard
Collodal and flacid
Contaminants with backstage laminants
You, unoriginal thoughts that's why we stay adamant
With frequencies to alter the mind state
Makin' time wait
Holdin' the self for hostage
I lost it
Somewhere back in '96
When it's safe for playin' the game
I'm back in the mix
With a brand new bag
Of magic and pixy dust
Love hip hop
Pray it never turns into lust
Sing it out

[chorus]

[chorus]

Commandante come back home [3x]
That's why were all still waiting here so long
