Madlib
Long Awaited
One is one, and one is to know
And to know is to create
And to create is to know the full spiritual value of the mind and body
Then, we create

[Chorus]
The long awaited, most accommodated
Could never fade it cuz it's always hip hop related
Wack MCs, please, all y'all get annihilated
The LPs and the Peoples called the Dilated
Long Awaited

[Verse 1: Evidence]
Freeze, this shit is outta control
For example, an actor who never snapped out of his role
So many try to hold me back, the end, yo, I prevail
Watch for subliminals cuz devils in the details
2020 no doubt'll be confusing
Catch the story of my life on VH1 Behind The Music
(Ladies & Gentlemen), The starting line ups at home
We got four emcees and that's five with DJ Romes

[Verse 2: Wildchild]
B-boy mission in life is to add creativity to the battle scene
Got Dilated to detonate mic weapons for mic check fiends
Yo, Evidence (What's up?) What's that in your hand, is that a guidance missile? (Yes it is)
Call up ya man Rak' n tell 'em it's time to blow da spot
With metaphors, lyrically I slap MC's up with my ten inch
Pull rhymes right out my chest like Popeye does spinach
Because my song must stay strong with each bomb that we deploy
Destroy fake decoy B-boys for those who can't avoid
[Chorus]
The long awaited, most accommodated
Could never fade it cuz it's always hip hop related
Wack MCs, please, all y'all get annihilated
The LPs and the Peoples called the Dilated
Long Awaited

[Verse 3: Rakaa]
Yo if my peeps' are in the trenches then I'm where the battle is
Rakaa Iriscience A.K.A. the Catalyst
The weight of the world's on my shoulders like I'm Atlas
Dealing with the villainous tactics of the fascists
Real heads gotta rock the Lootpack shit
Defiant Dilated, yo I'll shoot back quick
Vocab like refugees but I call it vocap
Spit it, ventilate 'em, leave 'em layin' on their back

[Verse 4: Madlib]
It's mostly snakes handin' out contracts
Trying to see where I at
Innovations on the Dilated, Lootpack format
We freak the physic, break emcees on contact
Madlib don't lack, we'll be waitin' for that payback
Y'all better get hittin', your soul when I drop my compound on contact
All that played out shit will have you knocked out in the first round
Cuz too many frauds walkin' around
[Bridge: Rakaa]
If you're not making ends meet than it's not healthy
To be representin' like the wealthy
If you're not knowin' that my name is Rakaa
Dilated platform representin' with the LPs

[Verse 5: Evidence]
Yo, I take control grab the horse by the mane
I'm that New York type of driver on this L.A. terrain
Make it rain, when it pours we flood, cover your system
Intuitive, straight up, avoided you by instinct
You could take cover, dodge radar detection
But try to dodge weeded out by natural selection
It's finally here, the moment of the long awaited
We represent the West, Lootpack and Dilated

[Verse 6: Wildchild]
So, better back up cuz DJ Romes is gonna go off and
Bring in a Technics turntable style straight out of his coffin
I'll continue to pull out my menu of styles and bend you
In half and laugh on behalf of my whole Lootpack staff
Brothers be like "I wanna hear y'all ish", at least you've waited
First heard it here, negative criticism is mad appreciated
My direction takes course of a fraudulent, fake endorserer
Thinking he's a dope rhyme style enforcerer (to the world of hip hop)
If you don't support, you're amongst those who's gonna get dissed
And dismissed when we come back with 10 times the force of a
[Verse 7: Madlib]
Earthquake, we laugh in Cali wild so watch the earth shake
From the first take, we pop in your box, the Long Await
We rollin' like Jugganauts, plug in spots
Not talkin' bout runnin' Glocks preparing for incoming stocks
Yo it's the Pack with them Triple Optic kids
While we keep this art real, y'all worry 'bout y'all pocket lids

[Verse 8: Rakaa]
Hey yo, some are goin' Platinum, skills are still lackin'
I meditate and coach, action like Phil Jackson
Space invaders faded, undisputed Dilated
Highly anticipated, Lootpack, the long awaited

[Chorus]
The long awaited, most accommodated
Could never fade it cuz it's always hip hop related
Wack MCs, please, all y'all get annihilated
The LPs and the Peoples called the Dilated
Long Awaited
The long awaited, most accommodated
Could never fade it cuz it's always hip hop related
Wack MCs, please, all y'all get annihilated
The LPs and the Peoples called the Dilated
Long Awaited
