Dilated Peoples - The Platform lyrics

"You've done nothing"
(Uh huh, yeah, the Platform sound)

"Dilated" "Mind created minds"

(We takin this worldwide) "Every
Word is heat"

"Dilated expand" "That Platform sound"

Aiyyo The Platform
Watch the stormtroopers swarm
The Death Star's more than the devilish dawn
It's where Evil and The
Force manifest their form
It's no good without bad and
No night without morn
It's relativity, balance, stability
It's creativity, talents, ability
Rakka shift the modes of the
Wizard and the warrior
Hip hop-up and move to strike like a lawyer
Quick to be like "Fuck a
Rapper after what I'm after"
Friendly how you front
But behind me talkin backwards
Basically I'm down to build but
Stay ready for battle
Plus most of you goyim oh, I mean cattle
The catalyst, never rock the mic in vain
Energy ain't created or destroyed
It's changed
The Dilated Peoples hit you wit the Big Bang
And theories that the Red
Shift couldn't explain platform
"You wanna front what" "You've done nothing"

Aiyyo The Platform
Takes respect to perfect the artform
At times a battleground where rappers
Get their hearts torn
"You wanna front war" "You've done nothing"
Aiyyo The Platform
Takes respect to perfect the artform
At times a battleground where rappers
Get their hearts torn
"You wanna front war" "You've done nothing"

Cuz when I step off, then step back on
Son you'll never catch me preach-ing
What I'm not practic-ing
Word War I I, Platform the illest flows
I know my hunger's real
I still get nauseous at shows
My motto, I didn't write but this I quote:
"It ain't where you put your words
It's where you don't"
End quote, and wit this in mind
Yo I bring flows more
Rare than black quarterbacks
I never got sacked, or pushed ten yards back
We could go rhyme for rhyme
Line for line or track for track
And after that, the crowd'll react
To the future we are the magnetic attract
Two-thousand twenty, confusin no doubt
I catch the story of your life
On VH1 Where Are They Now?
And as for mine, I'll be sixty in my prime
Still science and theories
And droppin rhymes on time platform
"You wanna front what"

Aiyyo The Platform
Takes respect to perfect the artform
At times a battleground where rappers
Get their hearts torn
"You wanna front war" "You've done nothing"
Aiyyo The Platform
Takes respect to perfect the artform
At times a battleground where rappers
Get their hearts torn
"You wanna front war" "You've done nothing"

Aiyyo I seen apathy, met love and know hate
I'm heavy on the mic
Can you handle the weight?
Either you learn to adapt or
You're sealin your fate
Only brave when you get more
Dusted than home plate
Rockin D&D wit the Alchemist and Babs
And after the lab
We send Ev to catch the cab
Platform troop, make moves and stay true
Rock Steady-Zulu creates a devastate crew

Yo I Platform my strategy
Mix words wit alchemy
Evidence, I won't get caught
Shot on the balcony
Between you and I, I'll tell you
Here's the diff
Gun to your head, your dead, pointblank
I shapeshift
That's right, study Chemistry like Al
Life, use your potential or Steve Howe
I'm about to call it quit's
Like too much weight'll break your rack mount
The man'll make you move yo
So make your move a backout
"You wanna front what"

Aiyyo The Platform
Takes respect to perfect the artform
At times a battleground where rappers
Get their hearts torn
"You wanna front war" "You've done nothing"
Aiyyo The Platform
Takes respect to perfect the artform
At times a battleground where rappers
Get their hearts torn
"You wanna front war" "You've done nothing"

"Every word is lethal" "Dilated expand"
"That Platform sound" "You've done nothing"
"That Platform sound"
