Gang Starr - Beyond Comprehension lyrics

Ours is a better gift not to be bragging nor lolligagging

I can see dimensions of sound and light around my mic

Transmitting lyrics like teletype

Reacting to a beat in a whisper

And like a transistor I'm sounding dope when I'm crisper

The shortest length between two points is a straight line

I've gotta take mine I heard it through the grapevine

that some can't find hype lines (hype lines...)

And so I'm smothering, over my prey I am hovering

Suckers I'm shoving at the same time covering

you with the blanket of some language that's distinguished

How swift can I get? You ask and I'll tell

For I can excel real well like a gazelle

Past your head, I'm grabbin abstract thought

Like some gain glory, while others get no part

I feel for the hurt ones, the victims of wrong deeds

Awareness is key, our people have strong needs

Science, math, history theology

Philosophy psychology english and biology

Et cetera, and all of these have a purpose

But genocide makes me nervous

So many questions, many opinions to mention

And damn (damn...) this jam's beyond comprehension

Like planets in orbit, we ride the life cycle

Some take a rifle on the street cause it seems neat

Whatever turns you on I guess, that's why vests are in season

I'll do my show then I'm leavin

I'd rather be blastin dope sounds on the other side of town

than be there when they close the place down

But anyway, everyday, there's another way

for a person to just flip, so a brother may

simply go buckwild, get crazy and mad

I know the struggle my father had

Poetry it comes from within, and will always win

Hold captive bodies from end to end

And at a party, I'll survey then slay with the quickness

Displaying the fitness

Easing the mind and relieving the tension

And singing my own song... that's beyond comprehension
