If my memory serves me I think Loki suggested rhyming over a track with 3/4 timing in rehearsal. I think he had the idea, or even an early version, with the Loose Poets. Fun track to piece together.
lyrics
Verse 1:
Hither we go, gimme a minute the flow creeps
into your home, into your kitchen and won't eat
see this is a stone mission to get in your dome piece
so gimme your soul, gimme a listen and don't speak
hear me alone, this is officially no speach
this is a poem, written specifically off peak (or beat)
to give it a tone, look at the rhythm it's on
peep and get in the zone,
quicker cause it could be gone, peace
Chorus:
Geez oh my, People we're alive
Free your mind, We can reach a high
Be the times, We are the divine
No need to hide deep beneath the tide
So, see the sign, Seek and we can find
Keep in mind, Read between the lines
Beat the shine, Either we are blind
Or we need to find peace and Redefine
Verse 2:
Stuck in a maze, what is a wonderful day in a cage puffin' away
nothin' that's gonna be praised, but hey, it's fun in a way
what if we suddenly fade away,
funny but wasn't there something you wanted to say, ok
what are you gonna relay, is it gonna be somethin' we aint heard
gun at your waist, money to waste, you aint a herb, well great
why are we running in place, why are we crushin our grapes for wine
what a mistake
Chorus (Repeat)
Breakdown:
Some of us get paid
some of us just flow
we are all slaves in the game and some of us must row
none of us complain
none of them come close
one of us gon' change it and some of us just hope
what a rush just to know something is about to give
cause runner-up's just too close for me and I got your wins
I run 'em up, just you know, this isn't your average scene
look into the steam of the manhole, listen to the banjo scream
