Lyrics
The only thing constant is change
Time waits for no man
And with that
It's the shape of things to come
Yo I'm the openness of oceans, I'm a river and stream
A crystal clean lake, yo the essence of steam
The form of a luminescent bright light fluorescent
(You got light?) don't wait til it's dark to ask questions
I've been sparkin in sessions and blessin mics with my presence
Since many were prepubescent, puberty, adolescent
Perhaps you need a lesson in addressin with respect
And too many feel inadequate without their little weapon
It's like I got the whole world against me, me thinkin intensely
A head full of headaches and a hand full of senseis
Them so flimsy, so why them one emcee?
There wasn't one before, hasn't been 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 the skies a kiss, I give suckers a diss
Some people like my old styles better than this
Yo, some are spacy like heaven and some do knowledge of seven
Praise Jesus, Injai, Buddha, Allah, or just Heaven
Yeah, and some like a quarter it and some like a lot of it
Whichever way it go we got somethin to get you up up out of it
Some will be statistics and some will be weapons
Dimes become pennies like dimes become elevens
To some we kind of thought of it as teachin the dumb
Ace One and Dilated, the shape of things to come
I catch wreck then tangle in circles with squares
Try angles to test if indeed you're prepared
This is the shape of things to come (yeah)
This is the shape of things to come
I catch wreck and tangle in circles with squares
And try angles to test if indeed you're prepared
This is the shape of things to come
This is the shape of things to come
I wax em, I tax em, here's Iriscience, ask em
From Arkansas to Aspen, a futuristic jazz man
I'm telepathic, movin 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 the steel in his hand
I shoot the gift and bless the spot where it land
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 capstone
Stripped the limestone to line their fine home
I cram to understand the dirty deeds of some
While we bring you the shape of things to come
We catch wreck and tangle in circles with squares
And try angles to test if indeed you're prepared
This is the shape of things to come (yeah)
This is the shape of things to come
I catch wreck and tangle in circles with squares
And try angles to test if indeed you're prepared
This is the shape of things to come
This is the shape of things to come
Aiyyo I center-punch punchlines, shine when it's crunch time
I'm back to beatbox rap battles at lunchtime
I sketch a piece and fill it in with design
Uno, Aceyalone rhyme bright like sunshine
Platform Squad, standin on the brink
Yo I touch the world, got three but two blink
Rakaa a/k/a Iriscience Lenscrafter
Zen blend with hash, the self-defense master
Yeah it's too bad, we control fire and wind
I know that you bad, you badder than thousands of men
But who's the baddest on the apparatus? Tell me again
Take a hold of your heart without penetratin 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 nuttin 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 they lungs as they swung and they hung
I catch wreck then tangle in circles with squares
And try angles to test if indeed you're prepared
This is the shape of things to come (yeah)
This is the shape of things to come
I catch wreck and tangle in circles with squares
And try angles to test if indeed you're prepared
This is the shape of things to come
This is the shape of things to come
Time waits for no man
And with that
It's the shape of things to come
Yo I'm the openness of oceans, I'm a river and stream
