Rhythm Sticks Lyrics - Blackalicious

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Go from out the gate, the Great 

Create the styles that dwell within 

The flow no doubt will wake you take you 

Acres aways well within 

The sacred space, the place 

Where we awaken from this hell within 

If you ain't heard about my crew 

I guess, I have to spell it then 

B, B is for the beat you knock 

While puffin' on you L 

L is for the lyrics on the beat 

That have to gel 

A, A is for the absolute that dwells 

Everywhere you can't C 

C, C, C, C, C is for creatin' 

That is if you're in the K 

K is for the knowin' 

Which will bring us back to A 

A as in another A and then another L 

I hope you follow me, me, me, me 

I, I as in myself, myself and me 

C, cultivate and capture, put a cease to I 

Ignorance 'cause ignorance must die 

Die, die, die 

Fly away make us free, free, free, free 

O, O is for the oneness that is U 

U, U, U, U, U is universal 

Like the sound your listenin' to 

S, essence of the spirit in the music 

That opens up the Chi Chi Chi 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Up and down the trails 

Of many styles we can go 

What's in store for the future 

Doubt that we can know 

But in ourself we can create 

And we can grow to be a vessel 

For these days, days, days, days 

Touchin' the moon and stars 

With such a cosmic glow 

Rushin' MC's that end up in the hospital 

It's nothin', sometimes it's simply how it's got to go 

That's if you suckas want to play, play, play, play 

It's such an inebriatin' feelin' 

To be creatin' really 

It really makes me feel free 

You think this ain't the real thing 

Then you just can't be listenin' 

To what my ears are hearin' 

There ain't no way, way, way, way 

Pitchin', so twisted if you're hittin' 

Nigga, it isn't pretty, wittier inner dealings 

All in your inner city, I'll spit it when I'm ready 

Committed venom deadly 

Don't make me spray, spray, spray 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, get 'em, go 

Now, this is not your average 

Everyday tune, it is in tune 

With frequencies speakin' through me 

And keep reachin' way out to you 

Seekin' to find the triple I 

Mastery through the rhythm sticks 

Given to listeners rendered prisoners 

To the mu-mu-mu-music 

Inner centered, vessel astral planning travelers 

Sent to this dimension here to inform the whole planet earth 

Time is runnin' out, at any moment death it can occur 

Celebrate the moment fully 

This is what you have it for, avid rap fanatic 

Magic, add it and subtract it 

Rabid, mathematic patterns 

That sporadic, manic anthem 

Static, cannot have a chance 

Enchanted random, valiant chantin' 

And some, gallant cabbage grabbin' 

Stackin', hammer slammin' 

Captain, stabbin' talent lackin' 

Yappin', slackin' 

Rappers, smack 'em 

Backwards, ballads 

Tackles, actors savage at this 

Bammer crap is damned and banished 

Demerol lavish, fans will go bananas 

And command some Gab 

A master at this 

Transcendental gatherin' 

Of rhythm sticks
