Styles of Beyond (Style Warz)

(Break)

Styles, styles, styles, styles, styles... Beyond...

(Ryu)

Tribal-style ritual

We dance around the totem

In a golden ring of fire

Bangin' on a war drum

Anthem of a shaman dominatin'

Peyote trance

Hopscotch the planet

Barefoot on the hot sand

I'm knee-deep in history

Mystery builds

Tryin' to find a

Style of Beyond secret to steal

But when the doors of perception are cleansed

Only then

Will the truth be revealed

Through an infrared lens

It's the same then as it is now

As it will be

I still be

The touch-tone number three

Letters on your flip-phone

D-E-F to my death

In the flesh

Vocal vacuum

Takin' your breath

Rest assured

When I get busy

There'll be nothin' left

Like a paycheck after taxes

Relay my message

Decay modems and faxes

Internet death

Go to battle swingin' my axes

Cut you in step

Escapin' through secret hatches

Tunnel rats rummage through the ashes

Of what rap was

Before you trapped it

Locked in a box 'bout as big as this room

But you can't keep hip-hop captive

Uh-uh

Styles, styles, styles, styles, styles... Beyond...

(Takbir)

Hey, yo--ring of fire ritual

Bellydance swing

Cyberspace visual

Galactic Apache

Salman evaded

While you groovin' at the disco

See what's really crackin' like Nabisco

Powwow

Festival of flows

By the S.o.B. assassins

Rain-tribe

Thunderclouds crashin'

Cosmic

Tomahawks dawn

For my tribal renaissance

And ceremony that's catered to the art

The origin of underground sounds

Bein' brought up to the surface

Auditory preachers of a serpent

Cathedral

Draws from Milan

Around a golden-arc steeple

For days

Givin' praise

To the people

Caught up in a circle for the trance

We .... detour

Where the .... is

And now they go and dose

Insomniac sleeper

Injectin' my syringe

Directly through the speaker

(Break)

Styles, styles, styles, styles, styles... Beyond...

(Takbir)

Hi

It's like a rhymin' time machine

Move through melodies

Lightfoot

Rhythmic MCs

So let it be

Crossbow

Triggered the lost low

A Cherokee on a quest

Against archrival

Nemesis

(Ryu)

Ceremonial headdress

Got you wide open like the dentist

Say "Aaahhh"

My sentence got you punks

Jumpin' fences

Ha--without a weapon

You're defenseless

Comin' out the trenches

With hatchets and

Musical monkey wrenches

(Takbir)

Yeah

Yo, all we wanna do

Is make your neck snap

Takbir and Ryu

With Rhettmatic on the track

Energetic act

To keep the club packed

Just havin' fun

When we rappin'

(Ryu)

Flow another optic explosion

Amplified junkie of a

Breakbeat chosen

Monkey .... pumpin' style

Out for justice

Competition frozen

Lash out in a ....

Motion sickness

Ocean of a school of

Vicious fishes

Half-staff flag for your caviar

Wishes on a ....

Straight from the starship

2000 prophets

Drop it

Hot topic flow for discussion

(Takbir)

Man, you all ain't knowin'

How we bustin'

Reignin' on the average everday chump

Crushin'

Year 2000

2000

(Ryu)

Say what?
