47 rockets taped to my chair (for dr. refat alareer)
[Intro]
Test results have revealed that you…are…the father of this style
UH!
[Verse 1]
Gates open and close
Stage is set, play your role
Recite your lines and reload
But keep it funky though (keep it funky though)
The rolling stone on the road
All our sources in code
There’s some things you can’t know
But you can feel ‘em though
The itch-itchin to grow
Shim-shimmer reflect
The light glow on the steps
The mothership on our heads
One tumbles ahead
Another brick in the red
Pressure sticks to the ribs, another domino
Keep, keepin the stride
I had to keep it inside
The doubt creep to my eyes
So I cease to use sight
Had to keep it in my mind
I had to keep it in my mind
I had to keep it in my mind
A single thought held steady
I’m on the road to hell ready
Like, like fuck it we ride
I want it all n***a, look at the time
I want it all n***a, look at the time
Look, look at the sky
Look at the size of my destiny
My vocabulary’s my most powerful weaponry
[Chorus]
Bang-bang go the blacksmith’s hammer again
Bang-bang go the blacksmith’s hammer again
Bang-bang goes the blacksmith’s hammer again
Bang-bang goes the blacksmith’s hammer again
Bang-bang, goes the hammer again
Bang-bang, goes the hammer again
Bang-bang (OK)
[Verse 2]
My shit sound like Benjamin Sisko joined Flipmode
They couldn’t risk getting old while we remained ancient
The mighty spruce taught me patience
We stayed open while they rationed
I’m simply an African scientist off the vapors
Cautioned analysis by risk-takers
The wish-makers is out of office
And the voicemail box is full, so goodbye (goodbye)
Sun-kissed grass touch thigh
One missed laugh and I wanna die
This flow will befuddle an AI
So say I
[Bridge]
Prometheus rises
MC R.A.P. Ferreira only ever spit surprises
If I had a dime for every rhymer who bust guns
Mmm
[Chorus]
Bang-bang goes the hammer again
Bang-bang go the blacksmith’s hammer again
Bang-bang goes the hammer again
Bang-bang go the blacksmith’s hammer again
Bang-bang go the blacksmith’s hammer again
Bang-bang go the blacksmith’s hammer again
Bang-bang
Bang-bang
[Outro]
Irr-irr-irrelevant
