The Show

[Intro: The Tongue]
(One, two, one two three!)
Oh, hot shit
Oh, hot shit

[Verse 1: The Tongue]
Ayo, welcome to the future, I'll be the producer
Director and the leader, man, but don't let that confuse ya
Stoned every time you see me like you were Medusa
But I'm always on the ball in the pub playing snooker
Twenty-five years old, colder than I should be
Hardcore lyricist, not living in the hood, G
Long way from Compton, lot closer to Coogee
But could he take a worldwide? Who else would be
Bold enough to try, that's what you can't deny
A rich man told me get rich or die trying
And he came from nothing, so excuse me if I think you're bluffing
When you say that this grind is for nothing
Real special something, soul food fit for consumption
Hip-hop, kids from the dungeon
Beats are like ketamine when they start bumping
You won't remember anything or you could start fresh
First thing tomorrow morning, tonight all you gotta say is yes

[Hook: The Tongue]
How the beat sound, people, can you feel this? (Yes)
Is real hip-hop back in the building? (Yes)
Well, let's get started with the show
And if they try and shut us down, what you gonna tell them? (No)
Now, ain't this party the ill shit? (Yes)
I'm psycho, you wanna see me kill this? (Yes)
Well, let's get started with the show
And when they try and shut us down, what you gonna tell them? (No)

[Verse 2: The Tongue]
Welcome to the future, Tongue wrote the script
Did the stunts and the music, but don't let that confuse ya
There's motion in this picture, I'm falling up
A long way from the day that my cords were cut
Now we put together epic scenes like Stanley Kubrick
A thousand people jumping, celebrating staying human
Audio architect, I build without a blueprint
I'll burn it, just purpose, just passion, just perfect
A castle in the sky, they said it wasn't possible, they lie
That's why I got this gleam up in my eye
A nation of millions couldn't hold us back
Too much positivity getting put on wax
This is for my public enemies, you gotta pick a side
Some will pick a flower, others will pick a fight
No touch in the blocks but change in our times
Can't be anything but real, we living real life
Said how can I be frontin', I'm living this real life

[Hook: The Tongue]
Now how the beat sound, people, can you feel this? (Yes)
Is real hip-hop back in the building? (Yes)
Well, let's get started with the show
And if they try and shut us down, what you gonna tell them? (No)
We got funk, yo, can they get a witness? (Yes)
Puttin' flavor in your ear, can you hear us? (Yes)
Well, let's get started with the show
And when they try and shut us down, what you gonna tell them? (No)

[Scratches: [?]]
"Original b-boy I'm rappin', what's happenin'

[Verse 3: The Tongue]
Welcome to the future, all of the creation
Anything's an option, free information
Pay with your attention, global reception
Third-world students with a Wi-Fi connection
That's revolution, blogging the election
Unfollow bullshit, get to the message
You better hurry up, I heard the net's getting censored
Tryna put a bullet in the mother of invention
I'm tryna put a dollar in my mother's fucking pension
They give them refugees a motherfucking sentence
What the deal, what the deal, my people?
Oh, you can't spot the real resident evil?
Give me a break, matter of fact, Oz give me a break
I'm eating up the game, bring me a plate
Straight chewin' on destiny, spittin' out fate
Mind state futuristic, no time to waste

[Hook: The Tongue]
So how the beat sound, people, can you feel this? (Yes)
Is Elefant Traks up in the building? (Yes)
Well, let's get started with the show
And if they try and shut us down, what you gonna tell them? (No)
Did you make a quick stop at your dealers? (Yes)
Are you ready for a dose of the realness (Yes)
Well, let's get started with the show
And when they try and shut us down, what you gonna tell them? (No)
