Lyrics

You've done nothing Aha Yeah You've done nothing Dilated mind created minds (We takin this worldwide) every word is heat Dilated expand that platform sound 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 goyim 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 wanna front what you've done nothing Aiyyo the platform, takes respect to perfect the artform At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn You wanna front what you've done nothing Aiyyo the platform, takes respect to perfect the artform At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn Cuz 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 wanna front what Aiyyo the platform, takes respect to perfect the artform At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn You wanna front what you've done nothing Aiyyo the platform, takes respect to perfect the artform At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn You wanna front what you've done nothing 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 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 wanna front what Aiyyo the Platform, takes respect to perfect the artform At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn You wanna front war you've done nothing This is this is the Platform, takes respect to perfect the artform At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn War war You wanna front what Go Straight up the chest Shit careful Every word is lethal dilated expand That platform sound celebration That platform sound Platform sound That platform sound That platform sound That that that Right there That that that That platform sound Platform platform
