After These Messages
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Thes One:]
As I write this, I'm watching the sunset
Out the window of a jet, thirty thousand feet over Tibet, now
You in the seat next to me, imagine that
Where we land, nobody knows, don't need a map
'Cause life is not predisposed, future is undisclosed
Even if we say goodbye and caged birds fly, I suppose
These windows are never closed
Keep your eyes open, you might see me through the flows
In enduring currents, insurance through our art is indelible
Double K and Thes One live forever in decibels
Like Dilla said: "turn it up!", we'll be back after this
But in the meantime, you burn it up, and toast that Mike and Chris
Real B-boys never die, we multiply, this shit lives on
In every can of Krylon, backspin, or the rap song
Breakin' the law, heard that from me and Beavis
It's yours truly, Thes One, P.S. you can achieve this
And we out...
Breakin' the law for twenty years, just me and Beavis
Man, it's yours truly... aw... hold up...
The Neverending Story, and you believed us
I'm yours truly, Thes One, I swear you can achieve this
And we... Ah ha ha, and yo...
And to my man, to my man, to my man...
[Double K:] Stay tuned, let the funk just settle!
([Rap sample:] I'll be back, but for now, just settle!)
Kick back as we race for the medal!
(I'll be back, but for now, just settle!)
Everybody in the place just settle!
(I'll be back, but for now, just settle!)
[Double K:] (What's up, kid?)
Live from the cassette deck, known to catch much wreck
On and off the stage, on and off the stage, on and off
'Til the next book or the rhyme pattern
Blaze up the dragon, and let my brain scatter
The hard patter of the heartbeat, concrete
The sound's street, whether rollin' in your Cutlass or Jeep
It's the P, you see, and we rock it like this
Word to Grand Master Flowers and Cold-Crush Chris, ya bi...
We the brand new funky superheroes, take 'em away, pavin' the way
Makin' 'em PayPal for the style, we wild
Fly like Star Child, O-O-H Child, we make your life easier
When you're funkin' with the sound, and it's pleasin' ya
Release the seratonin just for the moment, ya dope head
Ease back, the P, we harder than Tetris is
And we'll be right back after these messages!
[Spoken sample:] Peace!
[Spoken sample:] I'm outtie, boss, hah...
[Rap sample:] I'll be back, but for now, just settle!
[Spoken sample:] And I'm outta here
[Rap sample:] I'll be back, but for now, just settle!
[Rap sample:] Peace, see ya later!
[Rap sample:] I'll be back, but for now, just settle!
[Rap sample:] The time has come for me to leave the mic
But I'll be back, with more of whatcha like
The time has come for me to leave the mic
But I'll be back, with more of whatcha like
[Spoken sample:] Peace...
[Spoken sample:] Out! (repeated and scratched)
[Spoken sample:] Peace...
[Spoken sample:] Out!
