|
Broadcasting live from Ice Station Zebra |
|
I break over beats made to blow out your speaker |
|
The Jim Morrison of hip hop nice to meet ya |
|
But where the hell are Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger |
|
The tricks of the trade get rich and get paid |
|
Launch your career but your flights been delayed |
|
I slaughter ballers, send players to their grave |
|
And I'm takin' out all you bloodsuckers like Blade (aghh!) |
|
I'm from the city that left the Liberty Bell cracked |
|
The Constitution's release party was held at |
|
Matter of fact, tell your crew to get the hell back |
|
Or I'ma eat these cats like at alien from Mel Mac (hah!) |
|
To all my backpackers, mallrats and slackers |
|
Cyber trackers, players, poets and actors |
|
You wanna know what it's like to be down with my team? |
|
Like the Centurians, "now we're extreme!" |
|
[chorus] |
|
Echo Leader One to Echo Leader Two! |
|
We have an intruder and he's right in front of you! |
|
Echo Leader Two to Echo Leader One! |
|
I got him in my sights the meltdown has begun! |
|
Freedom fighters in the street, rock rock on, |
|
If you rockin' to this beat, rock rock on, |
|
Bring the fire and the heat, rock rock on, |
|
In the face of defeat rock what?! Rock ON! |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
(Hmm) I've got a suspicious intuition |
|
A new day is dawning, so come on and get with it |
|
Find a more tactical, practical position |
|
For these emcees who try to sabotage the mission |
|
While some lay it down I carry the sound with me |
|
I might play the ground and study who's down with me |
|
In order for this joint right here to sound gritty |
|
We did pre-production in an underground city (yes!) |
|
Wearing post apocalyptic underground gear |
|
'Cause we haven't seen natural sunlight in twelve years |
|
I gotta sound astronauts can't wait to hear |
|
So I speak loud enough to reach Space Station Mir |
|
We can take it there in fact, I might order ya |
|
The direction of rap has gotten cornier |
|
It's time to replace the pain with euphoria |
|
Make the crowd jump high like Masai Warriors |
|
I kick back, relax, unwind my true nature |
|
Catch wreck like James Bond in Moonraker |
|
Whether flora, fauna, marsupial or mammalia |
|
Test the Last Emp and end up a complete failure |
|
[chorus] |
|
[Verse 3] |
|
Echo Leader One I'm goin' in cover me |
|
So we can make the world bounce like it's rubbery |
|
I got ivy league college lovin' me |
|
Every rhyme I write is like assignment discovery |
|
Let me take a few seconds in order to relish |
|
The good vibrations from the moment that I felt it |
|
I knew I'd break mics that are well bolted and welded |
|
'Cause I'm hard like takin' off the Juggernaut's helmet (Hooah!) |
|
I may not be the most muscular of men |
|
But my songs are strong with the power to pretend |
|
My job to defend against any man who enters |
|
The stage that I call my urban command center |
|
I made it consolidated, with just four bars |
|
Place your bets and get out your score card |
|
My mother always told me to reach for the stars |
|
Now I got the first black owned business on Mars |
|
From lasers and photons to dragons and giants (yeah) |
|
The Ackbar, the Dogon, the Aztecs, the Mayans (yeah) |
|
If obedience is just as old as defiance |
|
Be an Echo Leader for this Rebel Alliance! |
|
[chorus] |
|
Echo Leader One, Echo Leader Two |
|
Intruder alert and he's right in front of you. |
|
Echo Leader Two to Echo Leader One |
|
I got him in my sights the meltdown has begun. |
|
Freedom fighters in the streets, rock rock on, |
|
If you rockin' to this beat, rock rock on, |
|
Bring the fire and the heat, rock rock on, |
|
In the face of defeat rock what? Rock on. |
