Rapid Transit

"Ladies and gentlemen!" "Dilated Peoples and all that"

[Intro]

(Ev-ery-where we-go-now) Pack your bags, we goin on a long trip man, guess what? We all

(All a-round-the-world) Worldwide, Dilated Peoples, Strong Arm Steady, let's do it

(All-the-people-know-now) Krondon, Phil the Agony, everybody around the world

International, domestic, Chicago, Ohio, Seattle

{*scratched: "Move through the city like rapid transit"*}

[Rakaa Iriscience]

(Ev-ery-where we-go-now) I'm dead serious

You fuckin with "The Best Damn Rap Show Period"

... Go strong 'til I'm delirious

On the international stage, like people here it is

(Right here) From L-A-X

Worldwide direct, all the flights connect

Got the right to vote, and we'll elect

And these labels can't stand us, but give us these checks (yeah)

[Evidence]

(Ev-ery-where we-go-now) Move through the city

Got a crew and tools to use with me

Cats got weak shit, come at me with a better line

I don't respect rappers, I respect Kevin Federline (ha ha)

Karma's good, judge slams the hammer

Got 16 on deck like Joe Montana

Blue states, red states, welcome us back

Every city got a coat rack to hang my hat

Evidence one person, hold the weight that many bring

And I stand for something, so I don't fall for anything (f'real dawg)

It's in the air tonight, don't ask who planned it

It's Dilated ("Move through the city like rapid transit")

{*DJ Babu: "Move through the city like rapid transit"*}

[Hook: Krondon]

(Ev-ery-where we-go-now) We the rough, tough and dangerous

The hardest working artist can't hang with us

(All a-round-the-world) In 80 days from L.A

Tell them have-nots to have it your way, let's get it!

(All-the-people-know-now) From N.Y. to P.A

A-T-L, D.C. and V.A., c'mon

(Ev-ery-where we-go) Competition can't spit

So Dilated run through 'em like rapid transit

[Evidence]

(Ev-ery-where we-go-now) Hit the marathon runnin

Got a hundred done, another hundred's comin (more bars)

And I got shit to show for it

Wear my heart on my sleeve, just got my jacket over it

Plus-I-spit-that-hot-shit

A hundred, ten percent, less is not an option

I "Work the Angles," don't hand out the freebies

So when we in your town, get tickets to see me

[Rakaa Iriscience]

This-is-Nis-san-truck-hop

I bombed the RTD driver's side then hit the bus stop (*spray can being shook*)

Create to devastate, Seen from New York

Hit the Hollywood sign in L.A.!

And it feels like yesterday, that shit amazed me

Cheech Wizard kickin the lizard that shit was crazy

In the grass grazin, now it's kush y'all

Packin more bowls than college, football

... But still lively

Poker face, playin my cards like Phil Ivey

Rakaa Dilated, rapid fire how I transmit

The hardest working artist can't hang with us

(All a-round-the-world) In 80 days from L.A

Tell them have-nots to have it your way, let's get it!

(All-the-people-know-now) From Amsterdam to I-ran

Italy, Germany and Japan, c'mon

(Ev-ery-where we-go) Competition can't spit

So Dilated run through 'em like rapid transit

(Ev-ery-where we-go-now) We the rough, tough and dangerous

The hardest working artist can't hang with us

(All a-round-the-world) In 80 days from L.A

Tell them have-nots to have it your way, let's get it!

(All-the-people-know-now) M-I-A to the Bay

The T-Dot, S.T. and U.K., c'mon!

... Competition can't spit

So Dilated run through 'em like rapid transit

[Outro]

(Ev-ery-where we-go-now) That's right, everywhere we go it's all love, Dilated Peoples

Whenever we in Detroit, Hawaii, Texas

Las Vegas or Phoenix, Minnesota!

Y'knahmsayin, Connecticut, K.C

Definitely St. Louis, Rhode Island

Philly, New England, Canada

You know all my Boston cats

Especially overseas when we go to New Zealand or Switzerland or somethin - Croatia

Rollin up a backwood out in Sweden or Norway, Jamaica

Ay whattup to all my Spanish cats, y'knahmsayin, Puerto Rico, Mexico

Phil the Agony be back man

Dilated Peoples...
