Mars Ill

Black Box Artist (Boom-bap)
(Hook) It's like Boom-Bap, original rap/ We take it back and move you forward just to tear it in half/ Boom-Bap, original rap/ We take it back and move you forward just to tear it in half... (Repeat) (Verse #1) I'm a rebel without a pause/play tape/ Claymation action-figure transforming the norm and changing shape/ Still face to the face with the grace that it takes/ To escape all the hate and calculate each back-break/ Communicate the Creator's thoughts with every breath/ Control my stride, no man can divide and make me half-step/ Pass the solid ground to spaces to the left/ If you've got something left to throw, I got something to intercept/ This is harder than it looks. This is better than it sounds/ This is everything it took to separate me from the ground/ This is levitation 101. We tread upon the clouds/ And make a name for Mars ILL 'til it fills your mouth/ Work it out, make optimists out of the cynical/ I like to scramble words around until I make them sensible/ One-dimensional voices cry like primadonnas/ While we stretch hip-hop from Sugar Hill to Futurama... (Hook) Songtexte (Verse #2) I got a strong mind. It doesn't have to be spoon-fed/ I treat my audience with respect and my dialect is interjected/ Into conversations worldwide, a piece of heaven injected/ Into the blind, scales fall from their eyes/ It's all to my surprise that a sound could move the masses/ Take my everyday observations and press them onto plastic/ Lessons automatically grabbing your fascination/ When delivered into action my masters of rap relations/ A revolution in music we loosen the chains that hold you/ Don't say you weren't aware because I told you/ They sold too many souls on the auction city block/ Wrists slit on Wall Street, snake-eyes and risky stocks/ My life hits a third shift frame of mind/ I understand your struggles because they're mine/ I spit a trail for you to follow what you thought you couldn't find/ Past and present intersected inside of God Divine... (Hook) (Verse #3) This earth is my place of birth/ I want the universe to know God for everything it's worth/ Break the cycle 'til it hurts between the lines and in the margins/ Killing time and changing life inside a studio apartment/ Sacrifice the hardship for those wearing a target/ Maximize compassion 'til it smashes through the market/ Never call it quits, we've got to finish what we started/ Build until you touch the sky or 'til you're in the coffin/ It's all in the patterns, stitched and gathered at the seams/ We come together to interpret your dreams and what they mean/ So thanks for coming out and thank you for listening/ Thanks for making it to the end of the track and acting interested/ Your time and energy are valuable as well as limited/ The fact that you chose Mars ILL is quite considerate/ Hope to see you around real soon just for the sentiment/ We have to know the past to realize what vision is...
