Intro/Cracking the Shell

[Intro]
Yes
In the flesh
That's me
Thavius motherfucking Beck

[Chorus]
Cracking the shell
One layer at a time

Imma talk to you

[Verse]
Yeah, a hermit for quite an extended spell
Finally shedding my external shell
A kernal, popped on a stop through hell
I spit infernos and bump like braille
Trumpin' meek chumps and weak prose
Bypass foes with high blast radius flows
Worldwide impact started with a crack of a speaker cabinet
Once enacted
It goes and can't be redacted
These explosive improvised 'plosives
Dealt in lethal doses
Suppose it's deep under dirt where they fertilize roses
Stuck in a state of stasis
On the wrong side of osmosis
Looking at the mental oasis
Filled by the few with the knowledge that predates Moses
But I suppose it's outside your purview
Babe and the suckling, up past curfew
Pray to the ones who seek to pervert you
Tweak and desert you, weak with no virtue
The leeches hurt the inert who allow it
Knowing that they won't do a damn thing about it
See me suffer that fate? I doubt it
Identify bullshit quick and reroute it
Or simply remove self from it
On a quest toward a self-defined summit
I see many plummet
Give from the soul in the pit of their stomach
And get nothing from it
But the truth is voids aren't filled
With hollow pursuits of shit that ain't real
So don't follow suit, exercise free will
Do what you must to make your life just

[Chorus]
Cracking the shell
One layer at a time
