Lyrics:
The water level's rising,
the water level's rising.
Everyone alive sing,
who will turn the tide?
Bring about land grabs,
sand bags.
Bring them out.
(bring em out)
It's hard to yell,
with the Atlantinc in your mouth.
There's cracks in the surface,
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface.
One becomes two,
becomes three,
becomes four.
Our sound waves run your city
like parkour.
Provoke an encore because we know you want more.
That's what we're doing this for!
Four becomes three,
becomes two,
becomes one.
The metamorphosis cannot be undone.
We burst forth from the land toward the sun,
and transform,
the advance has begun.
Like Mary J. I'm obliged,
to hollerate and prophesize.
Nostradamus on the topics often drop the mics.
When both sides are vocalized,
The crowd spits the dopest lines.
Efforts gain significance,
like overdrives of dopamine.
These narcissists forget to do their exercise,
confused by what success implies.
Name drop successive tries,
in drive thrus to get extra fries.
Emancipating free speech when I run my mouth,
Terminal cancer patients say,
"Hey, when's the C.D. coming out?"
Cracks in the surface,
cracks in the surface,
(tick tick tick tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick tick tick tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick tick tick tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick tick tick tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick tick tick tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick tick tick tick)
cracks in the surface.
Rhyming enigma, we keep 'em guessing.
My rhymes are like ribbons when I wrap the present.
We recapture the lessons,
the ancestors prefaced.
Indifference to how we break it down to the essence.
There are cracks in the surface,
nobody wants to see 'em.
Strategic war games don't call 'em human beings.
They call them like they want them,
for a prop in their battle rap.
But Solomon and Math will dap,
after they play the track backwards,
because there's too much death energy.
Let it be amusing to your best enemy.
Never let it be a task master,
let's finish things alive,
with oppression and disaster diminishing.
One becomes two,
becomes three,
becomes four.
Our sound waves run your city like parkour.
Provoke an encore because we know you want more.
That's what we're doing this for.
Four becomes three,
becomes two,
becomes one.
The metamorphosis cannot be undone.
We burst forth from the land toward the sun,
and transform,
the advance has begun.
Cracks in the surface,
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface,
(tick, tick, tick, tick)
cracks in the surface.
Break... them... down. (to the essence)
Break... them... down. (to the essence)
Break... them... down. (to the essence)
War, war, war, war,
War, war, war, war.
Break... them... down. (to the essence)
Break... them... down. (to the essence)
Break... them... down. (to the essence)
War, war, war, war,
War, war, war, war.
