Dilated Peoples › Lyrics › The Platform

Dilated, mind created minds
Every word is heat, feel the impact
Dilated expand, platform, platform, platform, platform

Yo it's time to go on a plane or don't
Either way, the show must go on and that I quote
A cat like me, never knew how to backtrack
I open up doors in fact

I see guys and girls dancin', open up my flows at random
There's no retreat, hold your beats for ransom
No means no and that's the answer
I see in the dark wit my lantern

Triple optic, iriscience, evidence ready to rock it
Of course Babu always in pocket
That's right, example of a show that's tight
Showin' you corny mothafuckers
What hip hop's supposed to sound like

You wanna front what? It's for the heads that know
And if you don't, check the platform and catch a live show
You wanna front what? We pro-game selected
Family is family, world wide connected

You wanna front what? On beats from the streets
Step up party people, every word is heat
You wanna front what? We hit it right and exact
For my peoples in the middle, in the front, in the back

Aiyyo Rakaa's my name, stealth like spy planes
I defy fire armor, hit higher than migraines
Nobody's sorry on what the state of the art be
Clear the runway, I spread wings like Paul McCartney

You're now on static, I leave 'em nervous, in a panic
I'm automatic, every word is cinematic
I turn stages to leaders and turn verses to scenes
And see with your ears, I'm turnin' speakers into screens

Biatchwic Babu blast wit scratch tactics
From my block to rap addicts on fanatic
I gotta hand it to the green-eyed bandit
Like Bam Rock the planet, dilated expand it

You wanna front what? On beats from the streets
Step up party people, every word is heat
You wanna front what? We hit it right and exact
For my peoples in the middle, in the front, in the back

You wanna front what? It's for the heads that know
And if you don't, check the platform and catch a live show
You wanna front what? We pro-game selected
Family is family, world wide connected

This for the ladies lookin' forward to clubs these days
And turntablists, radio, and club DJ's
Rock steady, dilated create to devastate
Nuttin' to prove but then I never hesitate

From rob-one, skate, dream and don D
For all my people put to the test like Gandhi
The platform, takes respect to perfect the art form
At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn

Yo our album is nothin' short of incredible
I'm from a place called you know my name clearly legible
Too many days gone by when I ain't feelin' s***
Not just talkin' but doin' it, still revealin' it

The platform, blow trees like bees swarm
Definitely different from the norm, you wanna front what?
Our strategy, mix words wit alchemy
Evidence, I won't get caught shot on the balcony

You wanna front what? It's for the heads that know
And if you don't, check the platform and catch a live show
You wanna front what? We pro-game selected
Family is family, world wide connected

You wanna front what? On beats from the streets
Step up party people, every word is heat
You wanna front what? We hit it right and exact
For my peoples in the middle, in the front, in the back

Dilated expand
Dilated expand
Dilated expand
Dilated expand
The platform
