Lyrics

Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent, ladies and gentlemen
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent, ladies and gentlemen
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent
They say possession is nine-tenths and we possess mind vents
To filter the rhymes sent from deep down inside hence
The precision and timing essential to rhyming
If you wish to pierce the cerebral lining
You see, image is nothing, imagination is everything
Is there anything you wear that's more important than what you think?
I think not as I bump Aesop
Cruise to Herbie Hancock and fucking rock out with Snot
You wanna look for me, I'll be in charity shops
I ain't buying my shirts, I'm buying my damn pants and socks
Bitch, this shit's inside of me
I ain't riding the beat, it's the beat that is riding me
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent, ladies and gentlemen
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent, ladies and gentlemen
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent
I ain't an alcoholic I just drink a lot
And maybe I'm genius or maybe I just think a lot
My intellect in restrospect compared to some...
"Eh, yo Pip, you know that second verse was always straight garbage?"
What you talking about man? It's not that bad
"I know what I'm talking about
Give these fuckers something new"
Well what am I supposed to do?
"Come on man"
Alright man, how about this...
I remember hearing Mos Def rhyme the alphabet
I just sat there in silence as a sign of respect
I knew what I had to do and that's what happened next
I rhymed the periodic table to stay one step ahead
See in the periodic table, hydrogen's number 1
Cause hydrogen is what puts the shine in the sun
Through nuclear fusion and when it's done
It leaves element number two: helium
Helium's the second lightest gas that there is
So we use it in balloons we give to little kids
Then there's lithium, often used to treat mental problems
Beryllium don't conduct electric currents, it stops them
Boron can be used to make things harden
And that smoke coming out of your exhaust? Carbon
Carbon's arguably the most important element
And nitrogen's in the air at almost 80 per cent
The rest of the air is mainly oxygen
And fluorine is the lightest of the halogens
OK that's enough teaching, I ain't trying to bore you
I'm just trying to be a positive role model for you
Cause in my town, I'm blessed with many role models
So many that sometimes the mind just boggles
See, KRS is my teacher, Slick Rick's my ruler
Chuck D's my preach', I'm just a preschooler
I still got growing to do though, I ain't trying to fool you
But compared to all the other kids in my class, I'm much taller
I'm much taller
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent, ladies and gentlemen
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent, ladies and gentlemen
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent
Underground intelligent hip hop development
Progression is our intent
