Big Bang Rap

[Verse 1: GZA]

Before space and time, thought produced a speck of light

It was infinitely hot, so extremely bright

Within the center of this great shining

It was massive energy and it was expanding in great timing

Within this fireball was all of space of every special place with information encased

Literally, a beginning

This cosmic clock was ticking and allowed space to flow while it was spinning

Everything we see around us

The sun, the moon, the stars, millions of worlds that astound us

The universe inside is hard to fathom

It was composed in a region small as a single atom

Less than one trillionth the size the point of a pen

Microscopic but on a macro level within

Unfurling this swirling cloud of light

A star city, a galaxy with all its might

Within the blinking of an eye expanding beyond comprehension

Within a fraction of a second a new dimension

At a marble size very unstable

In time it would come with a periodic table

[Verse 2: GZA]

You see, space was expanding faster than light speed

It moving at the rate only thought can exceed

A picosecond after the Big Bang

Music of the spheres before the ears, the Universe is now sang

Small enough to fit in your hand, a nanosecond later

It was the size of Mars and becoming greater

Fraction of a second later 80 times the size of Earth

Fastest growing infant since the time of birth

Still expanding but it didn't contain matter

Just pure energy that was mixing within the batter

But mass and energy interchangeable

Convert those particles rearrange-able

Matter and anti-matter, the archrival

Met, obliterated each other for survival

A war zone, a battle to the death

But as long as there is life and breath there's one remaining left
