Genius - Beneath The Surface Lyrics
[gza]On a man-made lake, theres a sheet of thin iceWhere unskilled skaters, couldnt figure-8 twiceAt 16, uncut, direct from the cultHead on assault, the result, death by the boltIn a vote, it spoke aboat the average loss commissionThat was seen by a king in a prophetic visionLike a plane crash from a bomb blastSpecial broadcast, slot time with con cashIt kept the jury quiet, and now a riot will formWhile satanic man, now hang in his dormI swing, on you fake, radio personalitiesBoost ya ratings, but hypes behind casualtiesFire shots, for low-pressure water gun playInstantly, slap ya fire like its palm sundayI fashion the first tool, from the elementsThe earth use, and built it to a complexNetwork, of communications, youre up against a hopeless, situationI screen every vehicle, through enemy observationSwarmin unpredictably, we spread terrorIncrease the force significantly, change the errorCheck my wind pattern, its headin westSuccess is freedom, failure could mean deathHumans sweat, aim shovelsDig up the debris and rubbelPermanent, damage caused by the double-U, now who, cowardly urge you to merge throughAnd think the workersll serve youSignin marvel, who just dropped the next novelWorldwide, practically marred in marbleHis accountless, amount of mcs I savedAnd those same niggas wanna squander those gifts I gave[chorus: res sample]Scratch underneath the surface, where does your purpose lie?It seems our world is worthless, like were pawns beneath the skyChange the race by reason, and ashes just the windThe left is so our were breathin, keep ourself from givin in[killah priest of sunz of man]Love and hatred, home is most sacredBoth species, they lay ***** in the tombs of oasisThink back on niggas I ate with, spent the day withGuns we played with, niggas I relate withWe broke bread, I heard through a vine niggas workin for the fedsSent out secretly to take my headI lay back and meditate to the words they saySkip town for a mutten goofy dredHad a friend tell my family I was deadReturn at the last fall of the autumn leavesOperate the plan accordingly, in case the feds are recordin meSign all documents, usin forgery, cuz just a near thought of meLike solomon, spoke bluntlyTold the word Im black and calmlyHowls from the grave haunt meThe smell of deaths upon me, I dwell in the hills like gandhiBeen in the presence of mad peasants, and old kingsWho sold everything, on a quest for gods divineSlept in caves to get a clear mindWho prayed 3 times, when the moon lit and the sun riseI met dwellers in the desert, talked to shepherdsBeen in the mouth of many leopardsFelt the death kiss, of satans mistressWalked the vacant districts, for 4 religions, studied pagan scripturesTrue philosophers and physicians, on a cure missionsWho harden their hearts, to ward the weak, sick and ifflictedCandles lit, gamble with a *****Who made me love her, when I touch her, soft cause hide clawsBees with sweet honey in they mouthHave bitter stingers at they tailWalk through the chambers of death, take a hold on to hellEmbracing her was like embracing a 3rd world[chorus][outro: res sample]Scratch underneath the surface
