Beneath The Surface
Genius

On a man-made lake, there's a sheet of thin ice

Where unskilled skaters cut figure-eight twice

That's sixteen, uncut, direct from the cold

Head on a soul, the result, death by the bulk in a vault

And spoke about the average lost permission

That was seen by a king in a prophetic vision

Like a plane crash from a bomb blast

Special broadcast slot time wit Comcast

That kept the jury quiet and now the riots perform

While satanic man, now hangin' his dawn

I swing on you fake radio personalities

And boost your ratings with hypes behind casualties

Fire a shot wit low-pressure water gun play

Instantly slap your fire like it's Palm Sunday

I fashion the first jewel from the elements, the earth fumes

And built it to a complex, network of communications

You're up against a hopeless situation

I screen every vehicle through enemy observation

Swarmin' unpredictably, we spread terror

Increase the fog significantly, change the era

Check my wind pattern, it's headin' west

Success is freedom but failure can mean death

Humans sweat aim shovels, dig up debris and rubble

Permanent damage caused by the W

Now who callously urge you to merge through

And think the workers'll serve you?

The sonic marvel who just dropped the next novel

World-wide rapidly, more to marble

It's accountless, amount of MC's I save

Then them same niggas wanna squander those gifts I gave

Scratch underneath the surface

But as your purpose lie

Seems our will is worthless

Like we're pawns beneath the sky

Face a race by reason

And that is just a win

For empty soul I breathe in

Keep myself from givin' in

Love and hatred, home is most sacred

Both species, they lay naked in the tombs of the oasis

Think back on niggas I ate wit, spend a day wit

Guns we played wit, niggas I relate wit

We broke bread

I heard through a vine, niggas worked for the fed

Sent out secretly to take my head

I layed back and meditate to the words they said

Skip town for a month and grew some dreads

Had a friend tell my family I was dead

Return at the last fall of the autumn leaf

Operate the plan accordingly, in case the feds are recording me

Sign all documents using forgery

'Cuz just the mere thought of me

I'm like Solomon, spoke bluntly

Told the world I'm black [Incomprehensible]

And howls from the grave hunt me

The smell of death's upon me

I dwell in the hills like Ghandi

Been in the presence of mad peasants

And old kings, who sold everything on a quest for God's divine

Slept in caves to get a clear mind

Who prayed three times

When the moon lit and when the sun rise

I met dwellers in the deserts, talked to shepherds

Been in the mouth of many leopards

Felt the death kiss of Satan's mistress

Walked through vacant districts

Before religions studied pagan scriptures

Two philosophers and physicians on a cure missions

Who harden they hearts, to warn the weak and sick and inflicted

Candles lit, gamble wit a bitch

Who made me love her, when I touch her

Soft paws, high claws, bees wit sweet honey in they mouth

Had bitter stingers at they tail

Walked through the chambers of death

Take a whole lawn to hell

Embracin' her was like embracin' the third rail

Scratch underneath the surface

But as your purpose lie

Seems our will is worthless

Like we're pawns beneath the sky

Face a race by reason

And that is just a win

For empty soul I breathe in

Keep myself from givin' in

Scratch underneath the surface
