under the underground - smoke signals lyrics
[intro]
raise up a signal like a pillar of smoke
activate the elements, rekindling hope
spread out to four corners, to the most dormant
we’ve reached the limit this is time for revolt
raise up a signal like a pillar of smoke
activate the elements, rekindling hope
spread out to four corners, to the most dormant
we’ve reached the limit this is time for revolt
[verse 1: the g.i.b.]
yo, it’s a bronx tale scaled to global proportions
nippon genbas to these dark suomen forests
from sugar hill to stones throw independents
streams are plenty, sourced to sedgwick 1520
semi+centennial, the evolution’s perennial
movement that’s liminal and centrifugal
refusal to concede, bleeding on the page
no regard for age, old to the new, headz gets schooled
styles and the crew, flow ciphers, industry to streets
each unique bringing that true, good, and beautiful
unusual ones, we’ve only just begun
permanent revolution, marching to the beat that drums
paint the picture script in sync with graf writers
true fighters, foundation moves to inspire
we lighting fires, smoke signals from the sulphur
combustion sparks cold crushing rush for the culture
[chorus: the g.i.b.]
raise up a signal like a pillar of smoke
activate the elements, rekindling hope
spread out to four corners, to the most dormant
we’ve reached the limit this is time for revolt
[verse 2: survinylist]
in the shack of survinylist
looking at the past
we’re in the sapling of the finest
grafted to the vast
tree trunk of craftsmen
ready to blast
sowing in the spirit
’cuz forever it lasts
like coke la rock and herc in one five twenny
the block is a canvas, ask fab 5 freddy
steppin like rock steady, these masterminds were many
like grandmaster flash with the rotation so heavy
plates with the illest deli, to fill the mind and belly
they set up the cypha, creating like mad chemists
athletic dancing, graff letters, street ethics
mc’s paid dues, they never leeched credits
pass the mic already, this anthem is semi
centennial, we’re repping oh+so many
+a+def emissary of this half+century
their place is in ephemerides, not in a cemetery
[chorus: the g.i.b.]
raise up a signal like a pillar of smoke
activate the elements, rekindling hope
spread out to four corners, to the most dormant
we’ve reached the limit this is time for revolt
raise up a signal like a pillar of smoke
activate the elements, rekindling hope
spread out to four corners, to the most dormant
we’ve reached the limit this is time for revolt
[verse 3: the g.i.b., survinylist]
aesthetic revolutionary, universal magnetic
expressions change like epigenetics
generic if you don’t search for the hidden specific
manufactured in the caverns of the neurochemical
polemical stance like breakers with the crossed arms
generational strands split, the fifth column rifts
lift up the veil to reveal the gifted individuals
a different tale emerges from this visual
[chorus: the g.i.b.]
raise up a signal…
like a pillar of smoke…
activate the elements…
rekindling hope…
raise up a signal…
like a pillar of smoke…
activate the elements…
rekindling hope
[outro]
…the g.i.b., survinylist
