The Platform Songtext

von Dilated Peoples

Uh-huh, yeah
Worldwide
Dilate and Expand

Aiyo the platform, watch the stormtroopers swarm
The deathstars born then the devil is strong
Its where evil and the force manifest and form
Theres no good without bad and no night without war
Its relativity, valid stability
Its creativity, talents, ability
Rockers shift the modes of the wizard and the warrior
Hiphop up and move to strike like a lawyer
Quick to be like fuck a rapper after what im after
Friendly how you front but behind you talkin backwards
Basically Im down to build but stay ready for battle
Plus most dig our gear oh but I mean cattle
The cattalist never rock the mic in vain
Energy or created or destroyed is change
The Dilated Peoples hit you with the big bang
And babies with the red shit try to explain
The platform

(chorusX2)
Aiyo the platform, takes respect to perfect the artform
In times of battle whacker rappers get their hearts torn

Cos when I step off and then step back on
You'll never catch me preaching when im not practiscing
World War II the platform the illest flows
I know my hungers real I still get naseuas 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'
And quote, and with this in mind
I bring flows more red than black from the backs
I never got sacked to push ten yards back
We could go line for line, rhyme for rhyme or track for track
And after that, the crowd will react
To the future we are the magnetic attract
2020 Confuse and no doubt
Catch the story of your life on VH1 where are they now?
And as for mine I'll be 60 in my prime
Still sciencin' theories and droppin' rhymes on time
The Platform

(chorusX2)

Aiyo I've seen apathy, met love and know hate
I'm heavy on the mic can you handle the weight?
Either you learn to adapt or your sealin' your fate
Only brave when you get more dusted than old plate
Rockin D'n'D with the Alchemists n baz
And after the lab we sent ev to catch the cab
Platform troop make moves and stay true
Rock steady zulu, create the deficit crew

Yo I platform my strategy, mix words with alchemy
Evidence, I won't get caught - shot on the balcony
Between you and I? I tell you this the diff
Gun to your head you dead point blank, I shapeshift
Thats right, study chemistry like Al
Prove life is your potential (or what) or Steve Howe
Im about to call it quits like too much window break you backmouth
The men'll make ya move yo some will make ya back out

(ChorusX2)
