1. _ The Platform Remix
[iriscience]
This is where we stand (memorize your charts, kid)
Aiyyo the platform, now prepare yourself for invasion
Space station earth, we have a base of operation
Crosstrain for pro's combat in ? ?
This is verbal animate, graphic animation
Relativity, balanced stability
It's flexibility, talent agility
Rakka shift modes, that's word to mode 2
Hot like code red or cold as code blue
Quick to be like "somebody pass me a mic"
Watch my back, cats will hit you wit spikes
Still down to build, battle ready to rock
But since most are cattle, i brand em like livestock
These strange days, i rock the mic insane
Energy ain't created or destroyed, it's changed
The dilated peoples hit you wit the big bang
And theories that the red shift couldn't explain
The platfrom
"the dilated platform the freshest" [iriscience]
[chorus]
Aiyyo the platform takes respect to perfect the artform
At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn
*dj babu cutting* "the dilated platform the freshest" (yes it is)
The platform takes respect to perfect the artfrom
At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn
[evidence]
Cuz when i step on, i step off to bounce
My last impression left (bounce), crowd reaction counts
(word war ii) platform the nicest flows
I know my hunger's real, one more time *backspin* yo
My motto, i didn't write wit this, i quote:
"it ain't where you put your words, it's where you don't"
End quote, and wit this on track
I bring flows more rare than black hockey cats
I never got checked due to lack of respect
When you go hit for hit to one of us, hit the deck
And after that, the crowd'll react
To the future we are the magnetic attract
Two-thousand twenty, confusin new laws
See me on my vh1 before they were stars
That was the time, my life in my prime
Science and theories of droppin rhymes on time
The platform
"i proclaim the dilated platform the freshest"
*cut and scratched* "the dilated platform the freshest" 4x
(where rappers get their hearts torn)

2. _ Soundbombing
My man.. he said.. could he create a soundbomb?
Say that's a good question
* evidence, i'm bringin it *
* rakka, iri-science, rapid-fire how i transmit *
* we got catash with that west coast rhymin, bombin.. *
Yes i can.. yes i can..
[evidence]
Most want what they don't have, especially in this game
But on the other side of the rainbow -- yo' shit's exactly the same
I aim one eye closed, so now you've been exposed
To my scope, an infrared target at night you glow
Got the chance, took it, hype tape that's what they tellin me
Soundboming in stereophone audio fidelity
Flows get took, a simple plan, best-sellin book
And people in the clutch open they mouth too much
I drop bars so hard, the code explodes
And bells ring like don king fights ain't worth the dough
Sounds from tones, and licks from quincy jones
Backdrop, my microphone so i can chop down clones
I pull, expand, boom bap, no high hats
To hide behind the fact your wack vocal's off track
Droppin verses like this, a pleasure for me to do
Signin off, dilated platform, j-rock and babu
[iriscience]
It's the return of iri-stealth, the intelligence plane
I'm picked up by radar, but too late, here comes the rain
I make you feel wingtip audiomatics
I travel the map to any part of the planet
Now word on the street is y'all suckers want static
Since most kids are spoiled these days, i let em have it
Land on stage, i see the mic and i grab it
Get the crowd movin side to side, like i panned it
Had to multiply my crew (well that's math)
Subtract or divide your crew (well that's wrath)
What i put inside the bleeds (oh that's hash)
Oh you want a new dick to ride? (go ask tash)
For the dj's, i keep a microphone in my palm
And for the people paranoia's a weapon so stay calm
For the toys, i take flight again for soundbombing
One-nine-nine-nine like sadat x and common
[tash]
Ahh, catashtra, the gunner from the crew that drunk the beer up
Keep your distance from my mic, this alki style'll fuck your ear up
But cheer up!! that's the way the bottle spills
Dj's they think i'm shady cause they know i steal the wheels
Cause tash kick the real, kick it with niggaz with no deals
Y'all fools ain't got no skills, y'all need to peep my homey phil
Peep the barbershop, peep defari while you at it
Dj j-rock, babu, and rhettmatic
Cause that's the type of shit catash be pumpin in the volvo
Where homies hittin me up like, "nigga what's up with that solo?"
I tell em that the object of my whole project
Is mic domination, so it takes concentration
Peep what i'm facin, facin r&b the guns
Are you in it with the heart or are you in it for the funds?
Cause tash got the style that's dangerous as mountain climbin
(yo what you doin to em tash?) right now i'm soundbombing

3. _ Defari Interlude
feat. defari
(defari talking-babu mixing)
Soul magnificent
This where i start
"de-fa-ri"
(defari)
When god created light he made me in the flesh
The caramel black man, here to free all the rest
Inhale, exhale, nigga open your chest
Put it to rest, i'm one of los angeles best
Rearrange game, not sane rap, push your brain back
I never left so how the fuck could i have came back?
The sun burns holes in the souls of fakers
I drinks cold ol' gold and i loves them lakers
My mind travels at the speed of concrete streets
It's all real, feel different then why must we speak
I strive to teach each, outreach over rugged beats in the streets
And this just the beginnin of me
The matrix, i'm givin all you kids the basics
Patience, invest time or time's been wasted
When defari rhyme, a breath of fresh air, the mornin sunshine
I had to take back what was rightfully mine
In that's a golden state crown when i gets down
The yellow-brown million dollar voice from l.a. town
See, if you look up at the sun you'll see my face in the reflection
The light that shines for all them children protection
Wake up for the mornin blessings, push-ups by the session
Damaged beats never second guessing
Nightmares and dreams, everything's not what it seems
Dilated, expansion team

4. _ Live From Copenhagen
[cuts]
"rakaa iriscience"
"rasheed equals maylay sparks"
"the last emperor"
"and the boulevard connect"
"claimin respect"
"iriscience"
Hey yo live from copenhagen
Suckas should start prayin
Just hopin that i dont get to layin 'em down
Dazzelin' dilated displayin new sound
Rak i crown the thoughts cus every days a new town (?)
Rakaa and rasheed and the last emperor
Internationally leavin casualties of war
Lyrics that injure, hard to endure
Denmark, i rock the ht public transport
Ready for war, typhoons and rainstorms
Gemini, jump on stage and change forms
From the angels of cali to illadels crack bell
Rap sale retail, but i deal with detail
The mind blowin party rockin platform crew
Thats rakaa iriscience, evidence, babu
Context had me askin "yo, where the microphone is?"
I rock it for the fans and the kroners off a bonus
"claimin respect"
"maylay sparks"
The masked avenger, maylay spark up in roskilde
Blast off, jump from the stage on damn fields
Broken leg, run two kegs its the christiania zombie
Choke any pipes to calm me
Im hot-strung, out on the run in copenhagen
With the last emp, dilated peoples and outfit
I spit, lyrics of life and insight
Smoke weed pipes, savagely strike ya stage mics
With jason, name the time, the date, and the place son
I travel from the basement to face 'em
Typhoon backspins, under a fullmoon in norway
Two technics, crossfade the songs play
My short stay, fm dial, hit the flavor out in sweden
Babs do the crowd while im breathin
Trailblaze, hit the ? daze west philly in ya section
Catch me on the boulevard connection
"claimin respect"
"the last emperor"
Dont stop the motion, black magic posion
Take a hit from a spliff, braincell explosion
Engaged in, conversation with the god odin
He said "let these words be preserved as an omen"
I know about your quest for fortune and fame
So i brought you to the land of the norsmen and danes
I made it, a safe trip, now take it as a blessing
With dilated peoples on the boulevard connection
Continue to carry on in the most pure manner
Ten times as heavy as thors warhammer
Strike back and fight back and subdo foes
Who try to throw dirt on the emperors new clothes
He said "last emp, take this sword as a gift"
"i hereby dub you the dark lord of the syth"
For defense or offence, it dont make a diff
But dont forget to call odin when rollin the next spliff
"claimin respect"

5. _ Global Dynamics
Yeah...
No i won't call you master
Though to you i sold my
My microphone shines
I keep your children filled in
Colorful swirls are building
But not getting caught in a kind of killing
See paranoia will destroy ya
And i got a lot, maybe too much for ya
My veins are swelling, stress wracks my brain
The point where my head and neck connects is in flames
We've come a long way since the first mainframe
And there's more going on than computer games
We got inter-net, world wide web sites
Which you might get caught in if you don't keep your head right
Organize and educate the youth
But most would pass up revolution to loot
Won't fight for your rights but you'll die to look cute
Most would pass up revolution to loot
Ay yo it goes without saying whose delivery is nicest
So i'll say lady liberty represents isis
Execs don't think midas will touch science
(well fool?)
My mind got me on the verge of violence
Or stopping this whole rap wrote in silence
But going against the negative grain is my defiance
The enlightened titan might win
I'll see the symbols at libraries and schools
Lodges, churches and temples
It be fighting for peace
Got me mad enough to shoot
But most would pass up revolution to loot
Won't fight for your rights but you'll die to look cute
Most would pass up revolution to loot
Ay yo times are critical, the screen reads unstable
My peeps are like 'release steam!' but i seem unable
I trip on microchips and ponder transponders
And feel the radio waves and satellites upon us
Zoom on the earth, zoom on california
Zoom on los angeles, zoom on me warning ya
If they shoot a slug and strike me like a baddamyst ?
Understand that government and industry's the catalyst
A battle was lost but quiet war still wages
Police engage us, like potential bigamists
Page is the limitless ?, cages for sentences
Till this anti-material particle finishes
With this unworkable body, oh lord
Rough child ? figured how to get the rich and poor
Extra promisory notes still but they can't afford
Then collect on collateral, financed your war
Feeling like the last poets --
"this is madness!"
Breaking down the me machine (?) related to a blackest
All ?, despite this movie liz-biz
Think for a minute kids, you know where egypt is
(2x)
I work for victory though
I'm taught by history
And ignorance as a status symbol makes no sense to me
Things i ??? i find shocking like raiden ?
Voyage to self-discovery but no it's not maiden
It's just that it's never been made in this form
This storm i will weather till the weather gets warm
I work for victory though
I'm taught by history
And ignorance as a status symbol makes no sense to me
I speak especially to kids of the pyramids
Built with the symmetry
Raw gets the energy
Enemies throw me off the path that friendlies show me
I levitate and watch the demons gearing up below me
If you let out a bullet it may let out a virus
So ? paranoid, dilated our science
Kutmasta kurt, and you just don't stop
Two more men (?) evidence, no you just don't stop
To the ill brother crew, no you just don't stop
Of mexican descent crew, you just don't stop
To the swollen members, no you just don't stop
Mad aceyalone, no you just don't stop
To the old world chaos, you just don't stop
To the liquid crew, and the barber shop
It's like that
Dilated propaganda
Our science
Worldwide with this
Global dynamics... (repeat to fade)

6. _ Heavy Rotation
feat. tha liks
Y'all didn't bring no ice? (nigga)
Nobody brought no ice? (ahh, ah-hah, aww yeah!)
Yo, yo pass the beer (we drink in heavy rotation)
(yeah that's what i'm talkin bout!) one-two, one-two
(ahh, ahh)
[ev] dilated y'all (toast to this)
[ro] check one - it's tha liks baby (toast to this)
[ro] ain't it drunk?
[ev] and y'all can't come (close to this)
{*scratched: "dilated, heavy rotated" - "with tha liks"*}
[j-ro]
I'm so outlandish, my rhymes the paint, the track's the canvas
Find me puffin tampons on your nearest college campus
Mcen-ro, servin up heat like pete sampras
Drinkin jose cuervo like some spanish bandits
Make women panic when i tell 'em i'ma vanish
Don't take it personal, these are eight-one-eight antics
Hoes break your pockets like car mechanics
Every morning, i bow down and pray like a mantis
Most women can't stand this but i, ain't romantic
So that thought you can banish to the city of atlantis
Me and tash met this tan bitch, made a likwid sandwich
I consume strictly green leaves like pandas
Dig through ice for my brew, like they dig for woolly mammoths
I'm volcanic up in bitches that look like dorothy dandridge
Your style is major damage, it's played out and ripped up
It needs a bandage, how do you manage? i can't stand it
[evidence]
Hops, barley, water, yeast, grain
Distillery - alcohol for the brain
So check it out, smoke fills the area
Drunk as fuck, launch off the aircraft carrier
Your vision (blurred) eyes start to blink
You overdid it homes; you had too much to drink (cut it out)
This bout's set for twelve rounds of pain
Tequila limes and salt, these cats hard to hang
Sixteen bar shark, teeth to fangs
Open off tha liks - duck season, you're in range
Turn the page - here comes the next chapter
Battle ev? you sign with blue cross or aftra
Heavy rotation, dilate expansion
California funk - like flav, we 'cold lampin'
Fuck the format 'til they can't ignore us
But chill swift bout to kill after the chorus
[chorus: repeat 2x]
Dilated y'all (toast to this)
It's tha liks baby (toast to this)
And y'all can't come (close to this)
{*scratched: "dilated, heavy rotated" - "with tha liks"*}
[e-swift]
I cook up beats like dope, they should call me illegal
We control the underground like bugsy siegal
And my crew is like the mob, we whylin off that vino
High-rollin, takin over your local casino
Year after year, my music pleases your ear
That's why my focus is right like outboard gear
Tune in, this is like a family reunion
We like cousins and shit (hey) rockin this bitch
Dilated and the (likwid mc's)
We gradually elevatin to a (higher degree)
We smash through the underground like we (suv's)
And spit game to the hoes and let em know they gettin (nuttin for free)
Aiyyo listen close, toast to west coast
Where bein gangsta ain't a hoax, we kill folks
And c-walkin ain't just a dance or a joke
We stay in heavy rotation, coast to coast
[rakaa iriscience]
Yo, it's hard to pass the bar, ask your lawyer
Likwid, pour it on y'all from california
Programmers, spray this on your play list
If rap was hard liquor i'd be "leaving las vegas"
Live show radio mixtape massacre
It's a party y'all with room for more passengers
I turn mics to pistols and start rappin
And turn pistols back to mics and start blastin 'em
J-ro, e-swift, tash and them
"expansion team", "x.o." chips, cashin 'em
I'm not fashionable but i am international
I called it like i see it on stage like supernatural
Honies keep flirtin like the flows are workin
Don't stop 'til i'm certain then i close the curtains
Animal house shit, coast to coast like tha liks
I don't drink as much, but i'll toast to this
[chorus] - 1/2
[tash]
Aiyyo catash'll slap the track with a open fist backhand
I crack fans with funk then burn rubber like the gap band
Batman can't walk through my hood, it's no love
Tash'll jack him for his cape and sport that shit to the club
Is it love or is it buzz, that got my thinkin patterns
Thinkin yo' bitch is mine that's why you see me winkin at her
She'll be drinkin at a tavern, out of a glass size 8
Likwid crew and dilated make that ass gyrate
While you ask i take, anything that i could lift
Your rapper's rappin like catash y'all dj's rappin like swift
I was born with a gift, you niggaz used to average rappin
Your styles is old as fuck, that's why my clique start cabbage patchin
I do this for the beer, and for the ones that ain't here
Y'all niggaz better make way for x, ras and saafir
I'm like a tattooed tear, tash'll never go away
I'm bout to fill my quota i need x.o. every day
[chorus]
[tash]
The extended family of tha alkaholiks
The extended family of the likwit crew
The extended family of everybody that smoke bud
Dilated peoples in the motherfuckin place y'all

7. _ On Deadly Ground
"gonna rock the place" *cut up by babu*
[iriscience]
Yeah, live and direct
Platform presents iriscience, iriscience
M-boogie and the turntablist, babu
Uh, yo babu
Platform, platform, platform, platform, platform yo yo
Aiyyo i tell and evacuate but it might be too late
Since i'm feelin this break then i'm sealin your fate
Your a puddle, i'm a great lake fillin the place
From cali the quake state, shit is real in l.a.
These days, a fine line between performer and fan
On air, sea, or land, dilated expand
Rapid candid, move through the city like rapid transit
Rakaa iriscience, rapid fire how i transmit
Voltage to blow shit, pyrotechnics to roast shit
My ferocious stage shows explosive promote shit
Countdown to countact, man to man combat
Leave the mic at the dj booth like "who want that?"
Look before you leap, you creep or you speak
Every word is heat, either you duck or you leak
Battleflows wit pros, for gold that's cold-flooded
Gemini warm-hearted, but live i'm cold-blooded
You on deadly ground when
You look around and
You recognize you fuckin wit that platform sound
Ain't nuttin sad as a clown wit a frown
I started countdown, now you on deadly ground
*babu cut* you on deadly ground **
Uh uh you on deadly ground **
Uh uh, you on deadly ground **
I started countdown now you on deadly ground
Revolution might be televised, divide or live
The mind creative minds, the biggest of all time
Even when you stare where they land or what's command of planet
You lookin down the barrel of a wave-motion cannon
Sick sour even sweet sixteen seems
Bullets get in between the cake and the ice cream
I hear a high scream and bodies will dive in
Brothas killin, brothas dyin, and mothers are cryin
Got a right to be hostile, my peoples misguided
Combine it wit the elements from drugs and the violence
Phenotypes and some are genotypes plus environment
Ninety-two thats wild and firin at the fire
Stay alive ya'll, feed off the hyheenas that grin
In the sky ya'll, buzzards try to eat off your skin
About these green men, let's make em come clean
Strip the shell, inject the circuitry of what's been seen
You on deadly ground when
You look around and
Angry little molehills become mountains
And quiet water, the batte find's a subtle sound
You wished the countdown now we on deadly ground
** now we on deadly ground **
Uh uh now we on deadly ground
** uh uh now we on deadly ground
You missed the countdown now you on deadly ground
"gonna rock the place" *cut by babs until end*
Blackberry, m-boogie
Yo, iriscience, babu, dilated wild styles
Evidence, where you at? yo dilated in effect

8. _ Reservation For One
[evidence]
Yo, accept defeat as i drop after the heat
Don't provoke, come fully equipped
Daggered and cloak
So what you wanna do?
I came in bumpin jack of spades
You came in wit two of hearts by stacey q?
Femine is your drumtracks, one hat no rise
My dj's in the shadows, i perform, show my soul side
To the audience, programmed intelligent
Active ingredient, balance, find the medium
It rains, let it hail, don't front my shit is ill
Tomorrow's on your voice mail, digest it like a pill
Lost my jones for cigarettes, my lungs ain't charred
Yo my sentences are full, i average eight words per bar
Babs, forgive em, they know not what they doin
They built for themselves, that's why they places lay in ruins
Yo, isn't it funny how these cats lack the basics?
Like rhymin on time, four four ?the serve's by asics?

Yo this seat's reserved for one
Of course matches my ticket stub
Escorted properly, your game bored/board like monopoly
My satiety limit is twenty minutes
I blow more trees than louie freese, this flow's inifinite
Cadence, pocket, lesson, structure
Been rhymin nine years, my dedication pass peers
Skill level break the beat up, no time for my feet up
No relaxing, i keep it movin like deniro in taxi
Driver, my name's mike, ev when i get hyper
Emergency, man down, who shot the sniper?
Yo i seen you in the crowd, arms crossed,
I know you heard of me (stop frontin)
The show is hot, i get props from the security
Raisin levels of expectancy
Yeah your shit is tight, you think it's abb quality?
I don't think so, aiyyo ben grab the fish net
Take em to the pier and throw em off at sunset
After the heat
"aww shit" [kane] *cut up by babu*

9. _ Search 4 Bobby Fisher
* hard to find white label, but 2:58 long on napster
[intro: rakaa iriscience]
Yo.. it's like this man
Every once in a while when motherfuckers pop off at the lip
Somebody get brought into this shit
That don't have nuttin to do with this shit right?
But none the less
You wanna start lettin off buckshots, cats gotta retaliate
Y'all callin out ev? well you got him
[evidence]
Yo, a blonde fag took my kindness for a weakness
But instead of comin hard threw a weak diss
Twelve of his friends at first i was speechless
Is it cause you lack pussy or lack uniqueness?
It's always your type, itchy and quick to bust off
Ruin the party, "soliloquy of chaos"
In this verse, jumpin jacks a little warm up
There'll be no bullshit, there'll be no hit chorus
Diss my crew? yo, you won't go far
The truth is i'm about as much from detroit as you are
I'm rackin up points, shit cat i'm scorin
You ain't a true tiger, liar, you from warren
A trailer trash town where daddy stuck it to ya
That's why you hate your mother cause she never tried to stop it
Twenty years later you're still out of luck
I met this chick you took home on tour, but couldn't get it up
Alert! alert! you internet geeks
Eminem is just like you, weak between the sheets
Dr. evil, tryin to steal my mojo
I'll fuck you up, plus look better in photos
I know what it is, you envy what you hate
I'm what you used to be, you was me in ninety-eight
Hungry for props, and ready to rock
Except your stage show is so weak you always just ready to rot
Fuck your pace walkin forth at best
(at) that rate on tour dates, hope you never run out of breath
It's such a shame your uncle ronnie's not listed
I'm a geek? you jock fred from limp bizkit
Production time; i heard you're makin beats
But don't program the drums, don't program the keys
Don't program the bass, producer? liar!
Doin that shit's like hirin a ghostwriter
You might as well you little fake chino xl
You're target practice - strictly blast these empty shells
{*crowd roar*} it's an upset, you lose the title!
But first lose the haircut, you're bitin george michael
Next topic, time to stick the knife in
Slaughter your {daughter}, ah fuck it throw your wife in
I'ma do 'em, do 'em 'til nothin left
The way i'm murderin you now they probably avenge your death
You blind bitch, i'm about to rub it in
Go sell millions of records, you still don't own your publishin
You ain't hip-hop, you pop; extra popular to little girls,
Kids, and the trenchcoat mafia
So here it comes, a blast from my crew
You bout to get chopped by a man named babu
The funniest part? let me say this 'fore i'm through
I haven't even begun to start, i saved the best for part two
{*babu cuts and scratches these samples*}
"faggot, no comp rapper on a quest" -> ll cool j
"hi!" -> eminem, "bitch shut the fuck up!" -> eazy-e
"if you take offense fuck it, got to be that way" -> krs-one

10. _ Worst Comes To Worst

"worst come to worst my peoples come first"
"worst...come.....to worst"
"worst come to worst my peoples come first"
"worst come...to...worst"
"worst come to worst my peoples come first"
(evidence talking)
Yeah
It's goin down y'all
That's babu
Yo, some people got good friends, at night i live my life right
Intense, on the edge
On the wild, i'm from the group where friction leads to fire
Stack your bricks, the time is take your pick
Do or don't, the track - alchemist
My life is good, i got my peeps in the mix, so...
"worst come to worst my people come first"
(iriscience)
I got worldwide family all over the earth
And i worry 'bout 'em all for whatever it's worth
From the birth to the hearse, the streets, the guns burst
Words i disperse are here to free minds
And if mine are needy i need to feed mine
"when worst come to worst..."
(evidence)
Set up shop and write a verse
Actually (what?), that's best come to best
My lyrics take care of me, they therapy
Get shit off my chest
Extra stress, three-four over the score
Different patterns of rhymin prepare me for war
So next time you see us we'll be deadly on tour
(babu mixing)
"oh, when you need me"
"worst come to worst my peoples come first"
(guru talking)
Word up, if worst comes to worst, i make whole crews disperse
You know it's family first
Gifted unlimited with dilated peoples
Babu, evidence, iriscience
And a shout out to my man alchemist on the trizzack
"oh, when you need me"
"worst come to worst my peoples come first"
(iriscience)
I'm a glutton for the truth, even though truth hurts
I've studied with my peoples on streets and in church
We make it hard when we go on first
Long road, honor of the samurai code
These california streets ain't paved with gold
Worst comes to worst
"worst come to worst my people come first"
(evidence)
Uh, i got them back, at the end of the day
We could go our seperate ways but the songs remains, it won't change
Got my target locked at range
I might switch gears but first i switch lanes
Without my people i got nothin to gain
That's why...
"worst come to worst my people come first"
(iriscience)
Special victims unit, catalyst for movement
Creates to devastate, since '84 show improvement
Definitely dilated peoples comes first
Cross-trainin spar, we raise the bar
And we put it in your ear no matter who you are
(babu mixing)
"oh, when you need me"
"worst come to worst my peoples come first"
"worst....come...worst my peoples come first"
"worst...worst....worst....come to worst my peoples come first"

11. _ Night Life
chorus:
[evidence]
Night life..
Ready to spit
Tags what? evidence
Cross the planet
Step it up this year weather man
The times right, sleep all day to wake up for night life
Ready to spit
When it drops, gonna hit
We step it up, no doubt the times right
Sleep all day to wake up for night life
Start every verse with something to quote:
"the devil you know, is better than the devil you don't"
Last year.. a test, true colors where shown
Kings remained in chess on the board and life in thrones
Music catch the force of my mic
Thats why at night i be out postin' up my own snipes
For years i sat back, played the role, what for?
This here disc, hear us raw
Can't fake it anymore
Check it out: you now witness the scenes
2nd release, expansion team
Shit thumps, shine bright headlights seen on
The like laser beams drive fast things and tee green
(chorus)
You know these nights ain't gettin' any longer
Put your best out and bail
You never know, you might get stronger
I stood back a bit, take punchlines out raps been more legitimate
Solidify our place in the game, pleasure with pain
Tropical flow: see sun but feel rain
Its easy to seclete yourself up in the mix
That's why its good to get out at night and holler at chicks
I take it back before studio racks,
Before i understood the concept of seperatin' tracks
Before...
Around the time my life when i swore
That the mic was a device not to be taken light
Chorus
Night life...
Graffiti artists get armed
Cans get shook, the walls get bombed
This is the time when shadow rocks get thrown
At your tinted car windows sound off the alarm
This is the time you execute your plan
While other people sleep, jewels get ran
In get away vans exit off ramps
Smaller operations are shops bigger one camps
Rock knots in pocket pants
Got the advance, and back for my back end in hands
And things ain't always what they seem from a glance
But up close shit'll change your whole prespective
Shadows close in, you realize you ain't protected
(chorus)

12. _ Rework The Angles
* also featured on sway and king tech's "this or that"
[a.g.]
Check it out now
I work the angles like, off the cushion in the sidepocket
Electrifying like a live socket
Hit em with all flavors, yup
We tryin to be neighbords with pro-ballplayers, i'm talkin papers
Or keep it realer, and see me on a iron caterpillar
On point like a killer, plus ready, to deliver
Type gifted, treat the mic right, or i might rip it
Critics dig my style cause i write different, no hype
I just kick it, low-lifes, they wanna get it
I shine like the ice when i hold mics, everytime
Got every dime, sayin this nigga so nice, you know what?
They so right, you get stuck, i'll go twice
Lit it up when i blow mics
[evidence]
Show mic precise, require sacrifice
That's no hassle, the master got more loops than lassos
Y'all hear me? they all conspiracy theories
Worthless, like testing ev' defeats the purpose
Since the beginning, intrigued by pot and attentive women
Breakbeats and windmills on concrete
Covered by cardboard, seafloor to skyline
Bottom line, in rhyme yo, put in time you shine
That's right sometimes i get so hyped
I feel like diamond d the best producer on the mic
I aced this -- most punchlines are tasteless
Regular, average, mediocre, makeshift
To all my dj's, with skills you got a lotta
This ain't on your mixtape, yo it coulda been hotta
The method in this game they'll have you drained and strangles
Don't go to them, let em come to you, and work the angles
[defari]
Don't sleep on, i leave your knee torn, like sehorn
Liquid mc storm, like children of the corn, a wild freeform
Of energy, mentally fit to last a century
Like centuries, one double-zero translate to victories
You kiddin me me? come wack that's not my history
Kidnap the wack and break his ankles, remember +misery+?
Lyrically you're skatin out of control
Work the angles 'round the globe, from newark to south pole
It's so cold that mc's catch pneumonia
I'm airborne, from l.a. to barcelona
I rock heads from pomona out the bronx
Drop the sure needle contact, now watch me launch
Dj's, you jugglin, that means i'm bubblin
Defari on the remix fix, this shit is thunderin
Picture me fumblin or droppin the ball
That's like picturin guy without that nigga aaron hall
[iriscience]
Well if a brother gets the best of me
Ain't no use in sniveling and blaming the referee
Fuck that, i strip the mic with tenacous d
Kick it up to evidence, yo kick it out to me!
Line up the three, trifecta stroked properly
Rocca, i work the angles triple opticly
The hip-hop multi-beat real monopoly
My g is god, what's your g for, geometry?
This man of war beats cold on the seashore
An deeo enough to take it to the sea floor
Every single beat bangs like a c-4
We drop beats, why you asking what the beat for?
The spitfire fighter dilated entity
I'm learning shockers like shockra building energy
While barbershops sipping henny like the kennedy's
I'm always been independent, that's word to beni b
It's guaranteed
[xzibit]
Make t-shirts and slingshots, i bust khakis out, bounce to the weed spot
Naturally, me and my faculty never play with this
I used to love h.e.r. too, but now i fucking hate the bitch
She's sucking up to all the niggas with the chains and whips
But that's alright, because all she do for me is pay the rent
And keep it moving, got a bad habit of losing my cool
Acting a fool, breaking out tools, and making the whole corwd move
Towards the exit, this be the next shit, we got you dilated
Hotter than satan, the repeated parole violations
Xzibit work the angles, cordless to dirty angels
How the west was won: with microphones and turntables

13. _ Expansion Team Theme
babu scratching and mixing)
"you got light.. don't wait till its dark to as questions"
[hook #1 - iriscience]
You should check the signs, symbols, hits, clues,
The writings on the wall but it's up to you
Expansion team dilated peoples crew
"what you wanna do is watch for clues"
You should check the signs, symbols, hits, clues,
The writings on the wall but it's up to you
Expansion team dilated peoples crew
And if you still don't know, this is how we do
[hook #2 - iriscience and (evidence)] x2
There ain't nothing as bright (as heavy) as light
(as dark) as night (as set to strike)
As ready (as right) as loose (as tight) as quick to expand
As we on the mike
[verse #1 - iriscience]
If it was a snake it would have bit ya'
Slithered up like a boa-consticta and griped ya'
Step back and beat the big picture
These cats as though in my head
I charge the mound just to get the picture
Bitch clearest specialist better hit ya'
But never miss ya'
Y'all need to double check the scripture
Deco, deco, unload, reload
Pressin' heights peco, live like steve beko
Piss on trees and leave marks to graffiti
Even gang graffiti though i'm for the peace treaty
Frustrated cats we hussle but still needy
And whistle like twity when we see the lapd
We going four for score for the prize
You need to see with more than your eyes
It's war in disguise
Tanfa callas are vagrants
This goes for every agent
Some are camouflaged others are very blatant
(babu scratching and mixing)
[hook #1 - iriscience]
[hook #2 - iriscience and (evidence)] x2
[verse #2 - evidence]
Se keep your torch lit, light your flares, have back ups prepared
Wait for the enemy, war is declared
Expansion team theme music anthem
Got coloured schemes hot, peak lovers red at random
Up close and personal, songs from my journal
My lyrics are the ink, my reflection is eternal
These words are powerful, so hard to describe
Type to raise eye brows and open eyes
But what we did, get your hands dirty, fingers dusty
I've been around the world, you haven't, you could trust me
Line them up, knock them down,
Keep them cocked, beats and vocals
If you fuck with these locals catch ghost busters logo
Channel zero
Separate suckers from heroes, recorded digital bobby deniro
Load your base bags, put on your gloves, lace the shoes
Keep your eyes open for signs and ears open for clues
(babu scratching and mixing)

14. _ Third Degree
Evidence:
(punch in)
I punch in this club elaine
Punch out just pissed in hurricane
When this is done things will never be the same
Peace to mega trend setters along i'm never taggin'
Word tameer and ah year of the dragon
In '76 born bomb lyricist
Ever since i stun the mic and drums i keep 'em crisp
>from that events which occur in dense fog
Accumulates clouds monsoons and thick smog
By the way this is protected by the green that i'm smokin'
With the key to unlock your mind i get it open
Ajar mad far i kick you out the drivers listen
Dilated peoples place in po position
While suckers steady fishin'
I got that big catch
Lead you to the trap door switch on the latch
My name is evidence and my mic a strike on any match (in fact)
After this track we'll have 'em stuck like tacks
Hook:
It's the one two three mcs
Now it's our turn to burn and blaze for always (x2)
Defari:
I keeps it rough and rugged rugged and rough
A lot of kids think they hard oh my god i call they bluff
And pull they cards like the king of hearts
A lot of these cats act well enough to play the parts
But i see through that's why i stay true
And keep it real
Rhymes worth more than eighty mil
I blaze records like a circle on magnify
Precise laser beam lyrics (who you?) heru defari
Oh me oh my these botty bwoys gon have ta die
They can run and hide but allah know every sodomite
That's why righteousness prevails through every verse
Me have to ? down babylon and live free of curse
Or free of evil strictly rough rhymes fro the people
Dilated together we bond like seamen
We breathin' with reggie white style defense
Raise you hand if you're tired of the rapper man who don't make sense
Lyrics of gold rhymes are worth more than bill folds
All you wack mcs give back them styles that you stole
You owe
Your dues are questionable
You're a longtime criminal there's a hit out on you
Hook (x4)
Iriscience:
I create to devastate
Deep space blast off
Make you salivate like pets of pavlov
Lines like bar codes but no mark of the beast
Givin' peace to pioneers of the parks in the east
From la at it's finest the name is iriscience
Or mr. iristyle i hold material like linus
David to goliath is me to the mindless
I hope i haven't been chipped so satellites can't find it
Big up to iodine i try to get in touch
Big up to defari for comin' through in the clutch
Lyrically, i pick 'em apart like coleef
Prophecy of garvy manifest salacee
Concoring lion 225th in the line
So i choose to entertain and uplift the mind
Dilated never wack crew
Ready set and tatoo
Understand that rocker don't throw stone i throw statues

15. _ Clockwork
one-two one-two in the place to be, yes indeed
As we proceed to give you what you need
Always smokin that 'dro weed, we have.. dilated.. peoples!
[ev] set to detonate
{*scratch: "there's just one thing"*}
[ev] uh-huh, sharp
{*scratch: "that i, would like to say"*}
[ev] ha yes y'all
{*scratch: "there's just one thing"*}
[ev] watch out
{*scratch: "that i, would like to say"*}
[ev] what what uh
{*scratch: "there's just one thing"*}
[ev] uh, uh
{*scratch: "that i, would like to say"*}
[ev] yeah, it's goin down
{*scratch: "there's just one thing"*}
{*scratch: "that i, would like to say"*}
[evidence]
We got tension in suspense, theme in variation
Train robbery panic, description of equation
I'm after the gold, and after that the platinum
You want what you don't have so far neither one's happened
But i was told by my peeps play your cards right
Spit hard, never look back, disregard hype
That goes for bad reviews, good reviews (uh-huh)
Any press, the news, i don't watch the two, i watch for crews
[rakaa iriscience]
"triple optic" cockpit views
Bird's eye, catch the rhythm in the words i use
I've learned to burn pain for fuel
Everybody plays the fool sometimes, the other side of the game is cruel
I'm back to school, the master rules
Born in the church where the pastor rules (why?)
I embrace the task that give birth to tools
And keep the pressure on that turns earth to jewels
{*scratched: "how that sound?"*}
[rak] yeah, dilated we're correctly holdin the crown, it's like this
{*scratched: "how that sound?"*}
[rak] c'mon, yeah
[rak] dilated we're correctly holdin the crown
{*scratched: "how that sound?"*}
[evidence]
On tracks, it's like boomerang
Sometimes you gotta let shit go to watch it come back
{*babu scratch*} evidence, presumed innocent
Move in silence, tracks covered, no fingerprints
Most are hit or miss, not what this is
Type on tour that might, hit your misses
Pack the bags, load up the pre-vo last year
We hit the road with rage, guru and primo
Cypress, d'angelo, shit's jurassic (hey!)
Kweli and all top notch acts, keep it classic
Bill graham presents, "live at the fillmore"
And after the encore, they ask for more
Fuck the irs, i roll with i-r-i-s
'science the best, so don't test
Exotic, attack the wack a word of advice
I got it down so cold like ice from jew heights
{*scratched: "how that sound?"*}
[rak] huh huh, yeah, dilated we're correctly holdin the crown
{*scratched: "how that sound?"*}
[rak] uhh.. yeah
[rak] it's that shit you pump loud when you roll into town
{*scratched: "how that sound?"*}
[rakaa iriscience]
Check your fusebox, my "cosmic slop" brings cops
Ghetto hip-hop that your city block rocks
Say what? i bust a u and come back (hey!)
Reach under my seat for that heat that blaze tracks
Face facts, you're facin poker faced cats
Dilated made our way through the maze, "so take that!"
For boom bap rap brought some state of the art shit (hey!)
After two l's, i'm +cool+ like james todd smith
Made ya burn while the, tables turn
I teach but i'm ready willin able to learn
These cats tryin to eat, i'm just tryin to breathe
And tryin to leave a legacy that you couldn't believe
Live from dnd, peace to ny g's
Rakaa cy young on the m-i-c
Babs is clockwork, you could set your wristwatch
And the real backbone of hip-hop is disc jocks
{*scratched: "how that sound?"*}
[rak] huh, yeah yeah
{*scratched: "how that sound?"*}
[rak] no doubt dilated platform, expansion team!
{*scratched: "how that sound?"*}

16. _ The Platform (erick Sermon Remix)
"dilated"
"mind created minds"
"every word is heat" (feel the impact)
"dilated expand" "platform, platform, platform" (the remix)
[evidence]
Yo (it's time to go)
On a plane or don't
Either way, the show must go on, and that i quote
A cat like me, never knew how to backtrack
I open up doors in fact....
I see guys and girls dancin, open up my flows at random
There's no retreat, hold your beats for ransom
No means no and that's my answer, i see in the dark wit my lantern
Triple optic, iriscience, evidence ready to rock it
Of course babu always in pocket *babu cut*
That's right, example of a show that's tight
Showin you corny mothafuckers what hip hop's supposed to sound like
Chorus [iriscience] (evidence)
You wanna front what?
It's for the heads that know
And if you don't, check the platform and catch a live show
You wanna front what?
We pro-game selected
Family is family, world wide connected
You wanna front what?
(on beats from the streets, step up party people, every word is heat)
You wanna front what?
(we hit it right and exact, for my peoples in the middle, in the front, in
The back)
[iriscience]
Aiyyo rakaa's my name, stealth like spy planes
I defy fire armor, hit higher than migraines
Nobody's sorry on what the state of the art be
Clear the runway, i spread wings like paul mccartney
You're now on static, i leave em nervous, in a panic
I'm automatic, every word is cinematic
I turn stages to ?leaders? and turn verses to scenes
See with your ears, i'm turnin speakers into screens
?? babu blast wit scratch tactics
From my block to rap addicts on fanatic
I gotta hand it to the green-eyed bandit
Like bam rock the planet, dilated expand it
Chorus *evidence part first*
[iriscience]
This for the ladies lookin forward to clubs these days
And turntablists, radio, and club dj's
Rocksteady, dilated create to devastate
Nuttin to prove but then i never hesitate
From rob-one, skate, dream and don d
For all my people put to the test like gandhi
The platform, takes respect to perfect the artform
At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn
[evidence]
Yo our album is nothin short of incredible
I'm from a place called "you know my name" clearly legible
Too many days gone by when i ain't feelin shit
Not just talkin but doin it, still revealin it
The platform, blow trees like bees swarm
Definitely different from the norm (uh-huh)
You wanna front what?
Our strategy, mix words wit alchemy
Evidence, i won't get caught shot on the balcony
Chorus
"dilated expand" *cut by babu 4x*

17. _ Hard Hitters
artist: dilated peoples
Album: expansion team
Title: hard hitters
Feat. black thought
[chorus]
Stories 'bout the angels of brotherly love
This is for the sisters and brothers we love "come on"
We care enough to give it uncut, straight up
With no chaser 'cause time don't wait up
Thats why we're sending cats back to the lab "worldwide"
The microphone's up for grabs
Thats why we're sending cats back to the lab "evidence"
The microphone's up for grabs
[evidence]
Yo
Hunters and gatherers, nomads in attica
Radical terrorists and those who tally up the data
What matters most is they can boast
But scatter when toast is close
Burners pressed to your throat you ghost
Of course
You could chose to go against the force
I'll fire straight ahead
There'll be no mission abort
We can take it to the streets or take it to court
Supreme shit get hit over your fort, open the door
We've opened up for different artists on tour
Sixty percent love, forty percent war,
Let's settle the score
Most things are rot at the core
Not what they seem
Watch the two worlds you're stuck in between
Or pay the penalty
Zero strikes, zero felonies
Lay low ??hokito?? master
Redirecting energy
I use words similar but none sound fresher than
"three of us who rap together"
[chorus]
Stories 'bout the angels of brotherly love
This is for the sisters and brothers we love "come on"
We care enough to give it uncut, straight up
With no chaser 'cause time don't wait up
Thats why we're sending cats back to the lab "worldwide"
The microphone's up for grabs
Thats why we're sending cats back to the lab "iriscience"
The microphone's up for grabs
[rakaa (iriscience)]
Aiyyo you could probably find rakaa at the rockery
Puffin' a k sippin cafe au lait
In amsterdam chillin in the cafe all day
Bang my shit between classes in your school hallways
You're fuckin' with expansion all-access
Hard journeys make you treat your mic like a cactus
Rap iconoclast that loves to sound flash
And sticky green grass with orange and brown hash
Take your tape up and take this on
I heard anything that does not kill will make strong
And i build one of the sickest holding this still
You need a dose of eccinacea with a little golden seal
If you boots turn up my two boots
Babu slice and dice your crew and produce hits
Misunderstandings go back to the blues but ah-
There ain't nothing like hip hop music
[chorus]
Stories 'bout the angels of brotherly love
This is for the sisters and brothers we love "come on"
We care enough to give it uncut, straight up
With no chaser 'cause time don't wait up
Thats why we're sending cats back to the lab "worldwide"
The microphone's up for grabs
Thats why we're sending cats back to the lab "black thought"
The microphone's up for grabs
[black thought]
Live everyday like its your last
'cause one day ??you'd fight??, my nigga
Fuck around son it might be tonight cause figure
The likeliness of you surviving this brawl is slim
It's like scuba diving with no oxygen
Monster when i situate my slang
Leave a nigga almost brainless once and bang
Had a crowd screamin bout how they don't want your thang
Keep it the sharpest one in the game its no secret
My style is certified , philly-animal rough
Runnin' things, pull more strings than gamble and huff
Cannibal hustlers taught me how to handle myself
Hit man for hire pull a hot pick from shelf and spark
The pioneer to represent illadelph is thought
I got these weak niggas pullin theyselves apart
Y'all know the tone the one that hold the throne
That radiate your dome like a motorola phone nigga*echoes*

18. _ No Retreat (kutmasta Kurt Remix)
"the mind-blowing party-rocking platform crew" (scratched 4x)
"that's rakka-iriscience, evidence, babu"
[iriscience]
It's no retreat, hit the street, get my plane confirmation
To the other side of the world, a daily operation
First stop in vegas, can't keep these lions locked in cages
We rock in places where alcohol's for all ages
On stages, in great heights land in london at night
Lax today, mp tight
A 2000 technique cha, cut and freak
Detonate our drums, heat the plastique
[evidence]
Ayo funky, straight up with the force to keep fighting
Samson, atlas, collossus, titan
In the dark night the torch that enlightens
Our strong cast-iron, harder the lion
A mighty foundation, many mouths to feed
With the energy needed to turn a seed to weed
We're fortified tight, sturdy sound construction
Make rappers "duck down" like i'm boogie down productions
[iriscience]
Yo, stand my ground, dig in with both feet
No surrender, no turning no cheek, no retreat
"to the enemy" "no surrender no retreat" (repeat 2x)
[evidence]
Yo we serve a full spectrum of flavors that's robust
Hustle in the same industry i don't trust
I know california dig it like a gold rush
And worldwide no retreat, we cold crush
Beef up support, insulate your stage or pay
Make way for the prophets of rage
While they engage to let you know we're in a new age
Babu will make a dj turn a new page
[iriscience]
Cause that's a dangerous man that can speak with his hands
Watered-down lyrics on dirty tracks turned to sand
To sink in, better watch the x that you ink in
Or on, disrespect us, step on my lawn
Skip the death threats, mc or graph and test these wrong
Your letters are wack, they get blown like mailbombs
I'm on the next train to your thought that's caught
Where i'm going, no retreat, hit the beat, exit the plot
[evidence]
Yo, stand my ground, dig in with both feet
No surrender, no turning no cheek, no retreat
"to the enemy" "no surrender no retreat" (repeat 2x)
[iriscience]
Uh, no retreat, get right up back out
Cuff the mic that's wack, develop tools to tap out
No doubt, dilated's turning pros to flows
(no retreat) i risk my life on flights for hype shows
[evidence]
And now you rocking with the camp that rocked last at tramps
Worldwide, collecting little passport stamps
From the body to the mind like i'm jesse ventura
This millenium and mark 2000 like futura
[iriscience]
Bet, rest assured vaccines ain't far from cures
Plant some new shit, hit me two weeks into tour
But i'll adapt, guaranteed make it through
Eveidence, iriscience, and my man babu
[evidence]
We freak by the knk crazily
Pro game, expansion team, major league
Rakka-iriscience trained to go the length
I'm an all-terrain think tank at full strength
[iriscience]
Yo, stand my ground, dig in with both feet
No surrender, no turning no cheek, no retreat
"to the enemy" "no surrender no retreat" (repeat 2x)
