Lyrics

Put out one of my eyes and I still got two
Put out the second one and I can still see you
I affect your chemistry and macromolecules
Cells and groups of cells called tissues
Organs, organ systems, organisms
Population, communities, ecosystems
Forks in the road in the valley of decision
Prophets and charlatans both speak visions
So this descendant of African survivors
So-called Indian tribes and a Korean war child
Birth name Rakaa, peeps named me Iristyle
Or Iriscience, possessor of the secret files
A student on these L.A. blocks
Ever since I first saw the train that read "Don't catch"
A triple optometrist, mental megalopolis
We never fall though turntables might wobble
Babu, drop the obelisk on this
Guaranteed hot shit, triple optics
Put out one of my eyes and I still got two
Put out the second one and I can still see you
Triple optics
Put out one of my eyes and I still got two
Put out the second one and I can still see you
Triple optics
I say make moves, but watch your paper trail
And right before the -inhale- I saw the vapor trail
On my mark, engage your subconscious
Veteran of many successful club launches
You blast, I blast, and then what?
Instant automatics if we don't blast fast enough
For Luciferians tearing up various areas
I rock slow but crack them sound barriers
It's iristealth, the intelligence plane
Invisible to radar, from the clouds I make it rain
Swoop down, survey, if they chase like Charlie
Back up, I synchronize three eyes like Bob Marley
And see triple optic, though you use thermoptics
To camouflage yourself with elements and objects
I rock projects, yard, and township youth
I make the people listen, boogie down, and move
Put out one of my eyes and I still got two
Put out the second one and I can still see you
Triple optics
Put out one of my eyes and I still got two
Put out the second one and I can still see you
Triple optics
Now give me what you promised me
Now give me what you promised me
Now give me what you promised me
Now give me what you promised me
Well I study, stockpile, and build for awhile
The colorful bomber creates a devastate style
We redefine the state-of-the-art as we go
And bust ends, egos, and super egos
I grab you with my talons and fly you to the mountains
Where you can meditate on inner harmony and balance
In audio, video, spiritual wars
I move like the spook who sat by the door
Put out one of my eyes and I still got two
Put out the second one and I can still see you
Triple optics
Put out one of my eyes and I still got two
Put out the second one and I can still see you
Triple optics
Peace
Paz a todos que puedan oír mi voz
Nosotros representamos la libertad que crece en nuestra cultura
Esto es The Cutting Edge
Esto es La Alarma
This is The Alarm
