The Platform (album Version) Lyrics - Singles - Dilated Peoples

"You've done nothing" 2x 

(Uh-huh, yeah, the Platform sound) 

"Dilated" "Mind created minds" 

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

"Dilated expand" "That Platform sound" 

[Iriscience] 

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 ? 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 want to front war" "You've done nothing" 

[Chorus] 2x 

Aiyyo The Platform, takes respect to perfect the artform 

At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn 

"You want to front war" "You've done nothing" 

[Evidence] 

'cause when I step off, then step back on 

Son you'll never catch me preach-ing what I'm not practic-ing 

Word War II, 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 want to front war" 

Chorus 2x 

[Iriscience] 

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 

[Evidence] 

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 quits, like too much weight'll break your rack mount 

The man'll make you move yo, so make your move a backout 

"You want to front war" 

Chorus 2x 

"Every word is lethal" "Dilated expand" 

"That Platform sound" "You've done nothing" 

"That Platform sound"
