Gang Starr - Beyond Comprehension lyrics

rate me

Expanding the depth of your brainpower

Ours is a better giftnot 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 transistorI'm sounding dope when I'm crisper

The shortest length between two points is a straight line

I've gotta take mineI heard it through the grapevine

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

And so I'm smotheringover 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 headI'm grabbin abstract thought

Like some gain glorywhile others get no part

I feel for the hurt onesthe victims of wrong deeds

Awareness is keyour people have strong needs

Sciencemathhistory theology

Philosophy psychology english and biology

Et ceteraand all of these have a purpose

But genocide makes me nervous

So many questionsmany opinions to mention

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

Like planets in orbitwe ride the life cycle

Some take a rifle on the street cause it seems neat

Whatever turns you on I guessthat'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 anywayeverydaythere's another way

For a person to just flipso a brother may

Simply go buckwildget crazy and mad

I know the struggle my father had

Poetry it comes from withinand will always win

Hold captive bodies from end to end

And at a partyI'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
