[00:04.15]The water level's rising, the water level's rising 
[00:06.67]Everyone alive sing: Who will turn the tide? 
[00:09.52]Bring about land grabs sand bags bring 'em out 
[00:12.27]It's hard to yell with the Atlantic in your mouth. 
[00:15.34]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick, 
[00:20.82]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick. 
[00:26.66]One becomes two becomes three becomes four 
[00:29.42]Our sound waves run your city like parkour 
[00:32.25]Provokin' encores but we know you want more 
[00:34.89]That's what we're doing this for. 
[00:37.96]Four becomes three becomes two becomes one 
[00:40.75]The metamorphosis cannot be undone 
[00:43.58]We burst forth from the land toward the sun 
[00:46.38]And transform, the adce has begun. 
[00:49.36]Like Mary J I'm obliged to hollerate and prophesy 
[00:52.26]Nostradamus on the topics often dropped on open mics 
[00:54.98]When both sides are vocalized the crowd spits the dopest lines 
[00:57.77]Efforts gain significance like overdrives of dopamine. 
[01:00.72]These narcissists forget to do their exercise,
[01:02.17]confused by what success implies 
[01:03.56]Name drop successive tries in drive thrus to get extra fries 
[01:06.30]Emancipating free speech when I run my mouth terminal
[01:09.21]cancer patients say 'Hey when's the C.D. coming out?' 
[01:12.05]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick, 
[01:17.75]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick. 
[01:23.48]Rhyming enigma I keep 'em guessing 
[01:26.19]My rhymes are like ribbons when I wrap the present 
[01:29.05]Recapture lessons, the ancestors prefaced 
[01:31.83]In deference to how we break it down to the essence 
[01:34.78]'Cause there're cracks in the surface, nobody wants to see 'em 
[01:37.61]Strategic war games don't call 'em human beings 
[01:40.53]They call 'em like they want 'em for a prop in their battle rap 
[01:43.31]But Solomon and Math will dap after play the track backwards 
[01:47.05]Because there's too much death energy 
[01:48.94]Let it be a muse sing to your best enemy 
[01:51.81]Never let it be your task master,
[01:54.01]let's finish things alive with oppression and disaster diminishing. 
[01:57.57]One becomes two becomes three becomes four 
[02:00.33]Our sound waves run your city like parkour 
[02:03.17]Provokin' encores but we know you want more 
[02:05.92]That's what we're doing this for. 
[02:08.89]Four becomes three becomes two becomes one 
[02:11.69]The metamorphosis cannot be undone 
[02:14.51]We burst forth from the land toward the sun 
[02:17.36]And transform, the adce has begun. 
[02:20.33]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick, 
[02:25.81]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick. 
[02:31.94]Break, them, down. Break, them, down. Break, them down... 
[02:37.19]Break, them, down. Break, them, down. Break, them down...
