Halo by Hieroglyphics Lyrics
[Verse 1: Opio]
(Yeah)
(C’mon)
Each day a new step up the stairway to heaven
To get closer to God, I intersect with my brethren
Spirit is pure, I get a headache from Excedrin
Existentially essential
I send chills up your spine to your mind, baby girl
They say we worldwide
That’s not a lie to 83rd (ya heard?)
You’re at 1900
Did my first song as a youngin'
Shit was bumpin'
You ain't saying nothin'
We come a long way-
Ask my hombre
Even in Mexico they be like “there he go”
My rhymes is illegible but still legendary
And lines as impressions in time, you can’t compare me, no
My style is aboriginal, indigenous
Infinite, you digging this
Limitless
Crush all digital worlds
With my evolution
Conflict climax resolution
Intricate, no illusions
[Verse 2: Phesto]
Phest test your Teflon, it’s like DEFCON 4
War at the Pentagon
But we kept on course
60 kilos from Tokyo and slept on the floor
At the train station, the promoter shagged us
Til we stole his passport and burned that shit in Melbourne, Australia
Put the towel by the door, lit the paraphernalia
Laced up the cables on the maplenut
Quarter tops popping butterscotch pale ale on ya
Your Champagne fairytale's a farce
You can't live in that fancy car when your advance is gone
I compose the score; what you think the doja's for?
Flows the core, make ‘em feel so secure
And my Connoisseurship sure hit
Entrepreneurship
With a McCormick aimed at your orifice
While I sword fish on Hollywood to cordless
Paint portraits of polyphonic orchestras
[Hook: Casual]
Can I spell it out for ya, let me put it in words
It go “I know, you can never step to this
Hiero"
As if y’all didn’t know
Y’all real but y’all ain’t spittin' tho
Now put your hands where your halo at
Put your hands where your halo at
You need to bust you some moves, cat, pick a verb
It go “Hiero, y’all can never step to this”
[Third Verse: Del]
Ah, finally up in this bitch
All praise is due to most magnificent
I know
Told you all along to stick to the script
You read the end of the book
Before you got to know the characters
Cut the whole school year and tried to snatch the teacher's notes (ha!)
Now the heat of my speech scorch your soul
Before it reach your throat to speak a quote to misquote
Tropical scenes
Third optical scene
I was caught in between the plot and the scheme
But it worked in my favor
The perpetrator got lost in the dream
It didn’t cost me a thing that I could possibly think of
At the eleventh hour
Where i could hear another's power getting louder
Stretching farther
Investing all up into what we into
Begin to begin newer knowledge we gained from what we’ve been through
[Fourth Verse: A-Plus]
Non-traditional bomb your visual
Charm your chicken to when you call she dissin’ you
I’m a cold man with a hot temper
Pot gripper, overseas spot ripper
Hennessy rot liver
What you got, nigga?
Nothing for us
A-Plus, Superman, why you mad I’m crushing Lois?
Get the cold shoulder and some icy elbows
Hiero’s the reason on them nights when hell froze
[Fifth Verse: Tajai]
We gonna shake you down to your Timbs, Nikes, your shelltoes
Using our hymns, we connect like an elbow
Elocute and elicit the illicit to any who listen
It’s recognition, this is what you missin’
Our expeditions is for expositions
An acquisition of extra riches
It’s big business and we been did this
Well shit, they know that, now put your hand where your halo at
[Hook: Casual]
Can I spell it out for ya, let me put it in words
It go “I know, you can never step to this
Hiero"
As if y’all didn’t know
Y’all real but y’all ain’t spittin' tho
Now put your hands where your halo at
Put your hands where your halo at
You need to bust you some moves, cat, pick a verb
It go “Hiero, y’all can never step to this”
(Yeah)
