Expanding Man

[Babu scratches]

As I expand.... you

[Iriscience]

Ay yo amplify, magnify, broaden my reach

Expand, exercise, extend, increase

The 'e' and the 'x' are connected like excellence

The 'p' is for peoples that Dilated represents

(Evidence: A-N for all night) PM to AM

And D's for droppin rhymes with no delayin'

Even numb from Novacane you feel the slow pain

See flames but fuel the fire like propane

(Evidence: now hold that) keep that lock and let's feast

War's not the word to play its like peace

I'm a cyborg connected with a mic in my hand

[Babu scratches]

As I expand... you know who I am..am..

A... triple optometrist mental megalopolis...

A... student on these L.A. blocks...

Raakaa Iriscience rapid fire how I transmit

[Iriscience]

Ay yo me and Omega, Devious Doze used to pose

Hypothetical flows gettin' thrown with known foes

A decade ago- introduced to Will Cooper

And out the other side of my fear- a field trooper

Son of a preacher, in school a student teacher

But I'd rather read or hit the theater for a double feature

Bored night creature well I used to trade books

When 'Science appeared fellow scientists trade looks (y'all see that?)

A brick by brick builder I learned to mix mortar

Gettin' smarter and smarter from Homicide and Law and Order

Street poet, mild mannered reporter

'Til I flip like Kool Keith, drippin' droppin' like water

[Babu scratches Dilated lines]

Raakaa Iriscience...create to devastate

Why wait... put your gloves out

Expand and dilate...

As I expand you know who I am...Its the expanding man...

A... triple optometrist mental megalopolis...

A... student on these L.A. blocks...

Iriscience...you know who I am...am

[Iriscience]

Now I haven't forgotten all the drugs that Bush brought in

Its funny how it's maybe his stash his son got in

Man, Uncle Sam facilitated the plan

Got me dealin' miligrams and grams and kilograms

(Evidence: Yo, word to our lye) they can heal or kill a man

They might have a plant that can if they got a pill that can

Body upon young body into camps

But camps turn to pens when boys to turn to men

War bein' used to both profit and cleanse

Wars both quiet and camouflaged to blend

I'm a freedom fighter, reader, writer, rapper, and fan

[Babu scratching]

As I expand you know who I am...

You know who he is

As I expand you know who I am...

The expanding man...

As I expand you know who I am...am

As I expand you know who I am...

Its the expanding man
