Robert L. Ripley by Omid Walizadeh Lyrics
(H.I.M.N.L.)
[Verse 1]
Believe it or not
Products of appraisal
Submitted for your approval
The incredible shrunken head collection of the Indians of Ecuador
Reduced to fist size!
New!
The MC world paralyzed in hip-hop battle
As the appearance of Jesus suddenly moved the crowd
This just in now!
The Sasquatch has just been kicked down a notch in the most sought after category by an MC who isn’t in it for the money
Evidently none can be found
Travel down to strange and exotic lands where tribal people dance ecstatic in religious trances a thousand miles away from mainstream music
And you won't believe it
Therefore you’ll have to see it for yourselves
An artist who is not a preacher peddling music for profit
And a man approached by a black person who don’t want his wallet
[Chorus]
Believe it or not
Human flight without the use of mechanical instruments is possible
You must focus on the neutral spaces between atoms to float
The alleviation of all suffering is plausible if we do not desire more of what we do not have
[Verse 2]
Submitted for your approval
Take one woman
Even without television she sauntered gainfully across the window screens of the Black city
Ass is round
Walking down the streets of the African town
Cleavage drawn
Taking trips through South Central with red lips painted on in the Black city
Invisible thong
Sitting in the hair and nail salon
Black men lusting after her through the clear window
Getting her light brown hair done
A young Black woman waits on her appointment
Consulting her master’s thesis
[Chorus]
Believe it or not
Human flight without the use of mechanical instruments is possible
You must focus on the neutral spaces between atoms to float
The alleviation of all suffering is plausible if we do not desire more of what we do not have
[Verse 3]
There exists a remote crew of MCs who live in the world but not of it
They move in ten directions
Simultaneously transforming base metals into gold
They hold beauty as equal to ugliness
They transfuse matter with spirit
And combine opposites
Making use of negative space
They invite no comparison
They create the patterns of heaven
They put no other human head above their own
Shapeless yet upright
They provide light without electricity
They are lamps unto themselves
They are last in line and so become first to lead anyone to Nirvana
They don’t need anything to survive
Contemplating nature
They become infinite
Riding the seasons
They ascend without copilot
[Verse 1]
