Shift Shape - Hieroglyphics

We sh sh sh sh sh shift shape

And we make sh sh sh sh shit shake

We sh sh sh sh shine and get paid

When this sh sh sh sh shit gets made

Hey I lie, I can’t tell you none

(uhuh not me nigga)

Nigga get high, sacrificin' brain cells and lungs

Still catch me at the mall with my foot on the wall

Window shoppin', like «This'll look good on my broad»

But did no coppin'

No no, not Smash

Nigga did that shit before and the ho got gased

I got unlimited rhymes that I’ll be givin' 'em

And niggas don’t admit it at times but I be feelin' them cats

Can’t express how they feel in they raps

Nigga prone to pop a pill and collapse

Done dealin' with saps

I smock slack in a Gilligan hat

Gat cocked back

Ready for killin' them cats

But no not that

I’m chillin' in fact

I’m gettin' chillins just from spillin' these raps

(you feelin that?)

Yeah, I stand firm and learn and earn

So I can in turn be a lantern (shinin')

Burn baby burn

Another one bites the dust tryin' to fight with us

Lies and lust we might discuss

Wakin' the dead when these mics erupt

Lives get touched

All eyes on us

We rain from the clouds and we rise from the dust

Just to put it together so lush and plush

Put a hush on your mush-mouth or get brushed and crushed

I spill my guts to let the truth gush

Come build with us or go skip double-dutch

I bent my intent to leave my imprint

The empire flinched when the messiah is sent

Hostile environments

Through my ascent to the highest bit

This is why I spit the flyest shit

We sh sh sh sh sh shift shape

And we make sh sh sh sh shit shake

We sh sh sh sh shine and get paid

When this sh sh sh sh shit gets made

We see

Through every illusion

Heavy in the school of life

A menace to apprentices

Stars and bars

Veterans and venegens

Inner strength like Imhotep

That’s why we never miss a step

I’m like greased lightning

When please write

I got the Chickadees fightin' and the fleas bitin'

Niggas be showin' Mark-ism em with they sarcasm

But they don’t wanna spark Adam

Makin' dark dissin'

You gettin' whipped into shape

Dipped in the lake

For what, you thinkin' is fake?

Cold rappers getting they chicken baked (Ahh!)

And spit roasted, when I get toasted

Fuck how it smells some chicks be acting like they don’t shit

Them the ones that don’t get a red cent

A proud nigga but yet a baller

That’s how I tell em soldier

Never drinkin' even when I’m hella older

Gettin' over in ways your people never showed ya

Breakin' bread and doja that mission ain’t never over

And if you trippin' I don’t care to know ya

Uh oh there he go again, making sure he got dough to spend

Doja to smoke and then hold it in, yeah

I’m here at last on the mic

Droppin' sarin gas and follow your ass with oxygen masks (*gasp*)

The appearin' mad scientist applyin' this pressure to the game

Like a iron fist

Even though I caught the spiders kiss from the biters

It’s nothing

I regenerate

Imitate Wolverine plus I’m pullin' strings (bling)

The penalty, Massive trauma to your dome

Like Kennedy (damn!)

The Lee Harvey Oswald of this industry (oh shit)

If I’m provoked I’ll be waitin' in the library

With the Snipers scope pointed at the driver throat

Who, who?

Who me?

I might catch a Jack Ruby

That’s only if I got chains shackled to me

I fire off some high-velocity from the Hiero monopoly

We eat emcees like a poppy seed

They found out I’m for realer, unfamiliar

Not that mainstream Elvis shit

Where’s Pricilla?

We sh sh sh sh sh shift shape

And we make sh sh sh sh shit shake

We sh sh sh sh shine and get paid

When this sh sh sh sh shit gets made

We see through every illusion

Heavy in the school of life

A menace to apprentices

Stars and bars

Veterans and venegens

Inner strength like Imhotep

That’s why we never miss a step

We sh sh sh sh sh shift shape

And we make sh sh sh sh shit shake

We sh sh sh sh shine and get paid

When this sh sh sh sh shit gets made

Shape shifters!
