Beneath The Surface Lyrics - Singles - Genius

On a man-made lake, there's a sheet of thin ice 

Where unskilled skaters cut figure-eight twice 

That's sixteen, uncut, direct from the cold 

Head on a soul, the result, death by the bulk in a vault 

And spoke about the average lost permission 

That was seen by a king in a prophetic vision 

Like a plane crash from a bomb blast 

Special broadcast slot time wit Comcast 

That kept the jury quiet and now the riots perform 

While satanic man, now hangin' his dawn 

I swing on you fake radio personalities 

And boost your ratings with hypes behind casualties 

Fire a shot wit low-pressure water gun play 

Instantly slap your fire like it's Palm Sunday 

I fashion the first jewel from the elements, the earth fumes 

And built it to a complex, network of communications 

You're up against a hopeless situation

I screen every vehicle through enemy observation 

Swarmin' unpredictably, we spread terror 

Increase the fog significantly, change the era 

Check my wind pattern, it's headin' west 

Success is freedom but failure can mean death 

Humans sweat aim shovels, dig up debris and rubble 

Permanent damage caused by the W 

Now who callously urge you to merge through 

And think the workers'll serve you? 

The sonic marvel who just dropped the next novel 

World-wide rapidly, more to marble 

It's accountless, amount of MC's I save 

Then them same niggas wanna squander those gifts I gave 

Scratch underneath the surface 

But as your purpose lie 

Seems our will is worthless 

Like we're pawns beneath the sky 

Photos 

Face a race by reason 

And that is just a win 

For empty soul I breathe in 

Keep myself from givin' in 

Love and hatred, home is most sacred 

Both species, they lay naked in the tombs of the oasis 

Think back on niggas I ate wit, spend a day wit 

Guns we played wit, niggas I relate wit 

We broke bread 

I heard through a vine, niggas worked for the fed 

Sent out secretly to take my head 

I layed back and meditate to the words they said 

Skip town for a month and grew some dreads 

Had a friend tell my family I was dead 

Return at the last fall of the autumn leaf 

Operate the plan accordingly, in case the feds are recording me 

Sign all documents using forgery 

'Cuz just the mere thought of me 

I'm like Solomon, spoke bluntly 

Told the world I'm black [Incomprehensible] 

And howls from the grave hunt me 

The smell of death's upon me 

I dwell in the hills like Ghandi 

Been in the presence of mad peasants 

And old kings, who sold everything on a quest for God's divine 

Slept in caves to get a clear mind 

Who prayed three times 

When the moon lit and when the sun rise 

I met dwellers in the deserts, talked to shepherds 

Been in the mouth of many leopards 

Felt the death kiss of Satan's mistress 

Walked through vacant districts 

Before religions studied pagan scriptures 

Two philosophers and physicians on a cure missions 

Who harden they hearts, to warn the weak and sick and inflicted 

Candles lit, gamble wit a bitch 

Who made me love her, when I touch her 

Soft paws, high claws, bees wit sweet honey in they mouth 

Had bitter stingers at they tail 

Walked through the chambers of death 

Take a whole lawn to hell 

Embracin' her was like embracin' the third rail 

Scratch underneath the surface 

But as your purpose lie 

Seems our will is worthless 

Like we're pawns beneath the sky 

Face a race by reason 

And that is just a win 

For empty soul I breathe in 

Keep myself from givin' in 

Scratch underneath the surface
