The Shape Of Things To Come Lyrics - Aceyalone

Ay, yes y'all 

The only thing constant is change 

With that, it's the shape of things to come, yeah 

Yo, I'm the open-est emotions, I'm a river in straight 

A crystal clean lake, yo, the essence of skin 

The form of a luminescent bright light fluorescent 

(You got light?) 

Don't wait till it's dark to ask questions 

I been sparkin' in sections and blessing mics with my presence 

Since many were pre-pubescent puberty adolescent 

Perhaps you need a lesson in, addressin' with respect an' 

Too many feel inadequate without their little weapon 

It's like I got the whole world against me, need to get intensely 

A head full of headache he's and a hand full of sissies 

Them so flimsy so why there one MC 

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 kiss 

Some people like my old styles better than this but 

Yo, I'm Spacey like Kevin and some do knowledge of seven 

Praise Jesus and Jah, Buddha, Allah or just Heaven 

Yeah, and some like it moderate and some like a lot of it 

Whichever way I go we got somethin' to get you move up out of it 

Some will be statistics and some will be reverends 

Dimes become pennies like dimes become eleven 

To some we kind of thought of it, as teaching the dumb 

Ace-One and dilated, the shape of things to come 

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 

I catch rec and tangle in circles with squares 

And triangles 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 him 

From Arkansas to Aspen, the futuristic jazzmen 

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 a steel in his hand 

I shoot the gift from blessed to spark 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 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 

I catch rec and tangle in circles with squares 

And triangles to test if indeed you're prepared 

This is the shape of things to come 

This is the shape of things to come 

I catch rec and tangle in circles with squares 

And triangles 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 back to beat box, rap battles at lunchtime 

I sketch a piece and fill it in with design 

Ooh no, Aceyalone, raw bright like sunshine 

Platform squad, standin' 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 

Yeah, it's 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 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 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 

I catch rec and tangle in circles with squares 

And triangles to test if indeed you're prepared 

This is the shape of things to come 

This is the shape of things to come 

I catch rec and tangle in circles with squares 

And triangles to test if indeed you're prepared 

This is the shape of things to come 

This is the shape of things to come 

Yes y'all 

Yes y'all 

Yes y'all 

Yes y'all
