Off the Record - Hieroglyphics

Whooh!

Yeah

It’s the ones you know about

The famous, magnificent Hieroglyphics, mega

Always on the mic for MC’s who really don’t know what we doin

It’s time to do it up

We got Cas, we got Del, we got Tajai, we got A-Plus

C’mon y’all, PLEASE can we get busy?

I put my pencil to the paper and watch lighting strike

Casual, the innovator, in a state of advancement

MC scolder, breakdancin on the lake when it freeze over

So much game, I told her I’m a disease holder and I still hit it

Bust a nut in her eye and made her deal with it

The straight bump, y’all, yeah you best agree

Whatever that sess do don’t let you come next to me

Mentally, I’m compatible with Macintosh

And I can get a nigga’s bitch in the sack with floss

Hop on the microphone

Actin lost, unaware, unprepared

Then I bust off the top

And niggas get scared

Uhh, now I told y’all I wasn’t playin

It’s Hieroglyphics in here

Now that’s Cas, now you know that’s how it was, That’s How It Is

We bout to do it with my next man, A-PLUSS

A to the, Plus must do ya, bust through ya

Defenses with lyrics mentally muscular

Holdin down like cement shoes, to make you drown right

This is what we do if we the crew you sound like

I can’t stand a person bitin someone’s creativity

I have so many styles that you can take one as a gift from me

It’s like deja vu whenever you pop they tape in

Lyin more than Satan, fallin off like they was ice skatin

Trying to get they mic taken, you get scolded

And chastized, my holy mic, is baptized

Givin flatlines to you rap guys and still send you

Back with black eyes, on the mic you telling fat lies

Now if I’m the teacher

I gotta give that a A-Plus youknowhatI’msayin?

Now let’s make room for the man, the myth

The Great-Great-Granddaddy of Hieroglyphics, Del

Hold up, stop the presses, this just came in

Del’s done it again, you gotta get his name in

He’s, infallible in battle flows and battle royals

Collects all the spoils of soiled celebrities

Shape my fantasy as the form, lyrical odyssey

It’s not modesty, I show my ass for all to see

Polishin wax with facts sharp like tacks

To stop your heart like cracks

Rip, apart the tracks

Na-na-na-na-now you know that’s self explanatory

Now we bout to get busy with my man Tajai

Break out your notebooks and your pads

Listen real closely to what this brother has to say

I kick the,?

like dialect

It’s sacrilege, steppin in the sanctuary of the sacrosanct

Do not desecrate acquiesce

Before I dessicate all your flows and leave you dry as bones

It’s awful how I decimate, but also awesome

People say that they saw something they cherished they lives long

When I expectorate upon a song

To be honest number one’s what I expect to rank

Not for just the crown jewels or scepter

Out for justice, and exposition of the rest as jesters

With they lackluster compositions

Suckers in estrus, thinkin that Heiroglyphics won’t fuck you?

Oh my goodness, I told ya

Once again, it’s Hieroglyphics

We got the smooth lineup, Tajai, A-Plus, Del, Casual

They just to' it up, forget about it, leave it alone

It’s Hieroglyphics from here on out

You don’t know what you’re doin

And me, I’m the Extra Prolific, Whiz Kid

Y’all can’t mess with this, leave it alone

Drop ya pen, it’s time that we go on

Let us alone y’all, can’t fade this

You know how we do it.
