作曲 : Yoann Letard Crowded in the corner of this dark smoke-filled room The speakers loom It's reminiscing of the ancient souls tomb I feel this is a rite of passage These blockades I break through These stained mind states I've spoken to I hope I've moved With the base and the breakbeat behind us Enlightened minds surrounding the mic No spotlight waiting for the elements to align Chronologically I'm in line peacefully, respectively I'm waiting my time in my presence Some anticipating, some hating but mostly well-equipped MCs that'd be contemplating It pleases me to take note of those worthy, the ones who ain't worried to dig down deep and get their hands dirty In the earthy top soil that we tread on Walking through this dusty planet Can't stand the fact that people be claiming territory when all I know is my gravity is my music We chose music, embrace, utilize it In my midst, at least between musicians it provides an immunity And creates a joint community It's always a competition Someone's on a mission for the best Scratch [... Ultimately you decide what's at stake {All surrounding me is what it takes to rise above Rather than shun my rival, I give love to my equal element We're all different bodies but we're still the same people} All surrounding me is what it takes to rise above Rather than shun my rival, I give love to my equal element We're all different bodies but we're still the same people Around two turntables and a mic abounds plenty Many who don't look alike Puerto Rican, Black, White, Japanese It amazes me that we all could be well-versed and well-equipped MCs Choosing to express ourselves verbally Ideas being turned out some being released diabolically Transcending what we are viewed as focally We mutate our world, melt in to poetry Moving through this earth are crowds of bad attitudes amidst the swollen heads I still enjoy solitude Chosing to speak clearly if I speak and all I'm carving out every word before I let it fall My art is my only task in life Rhyme with me, enjoy some metaphysical exercise No need for any proof Our art is imminent, holding more words than truth All surrounding me is what it takes to rise above Rather than shun my rival, I give love to my equal element We're all different bodies but we're still the same people All surrounding me is what it takes to rise above Rather than shun my rival, I give love to my equal element We're all different bodies but we're still the same people
