"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 *steam*   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 *sessions*   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 *sensi*   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 diss   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
