Verse 1 My word's food for thought the mind is like a cafeteria Some rappers are inferior but none are superior My voice is choice I'm one of the chosen I might be Chill but I'm not frozen Self preservation survival of the better Chill Rob plus the seventh letter Flyin' off at every angle can you tangle Mix or handle you don't hold a candle To what you're hearin' you don't have a near win But it's a clear miss, no wonder you fear this And don't get pissed just because I riffed I'll tell you what, smoke this: I'm the Future Shock... Verse 2 The man, the moment, the mic, the muscle The power, the people, the hype, the hustle The harder I hit, the smarter you get If you're a liar, stay away cos I ain't shovellin' shit The edge of night opens doorways to horror I'm the guiding light as you search for tomorrow Dark shadows terrorize the young and restless I'll crash the spot if I'm not on the guest list The hands of time in my mind advances fast While you recite the first to the last Word that I spoke, but no, that's no complaint Take my rhyme but use restraint If I catch you on the perpetratin' tip, hurtin' your lip Well look, you know how it is, I gotta flip In ways you would never suspect Like do a front semi and land on your neck To be precise, correct and exact This album is mostly freestyle and feedback From the people, it's the sequel To 'Dope Rhymes', but this is go for broke time Without breakin', makin' no mistakes and Takin' no flakes for friends, cos in the end They backbite, and you don't wanna get smacked, right? So hold tight while your mind takes flight Check out a verse or two and see if I can rock I'm the Future Shock... Verse 3 Nothin' better to do, so I'll persue this new Style, rhythm rockin' and poppin' lip Jealous punks pretend it ain't hype but in Ten lines or less they're jockin' it Reality is my beat, the beat goes on Mark creates the beat that Rob rolls on Like a musical note or a boat ridin' a wave And I hope what I wrote goes with you to your grave Save a little for later so I can come back My lyrics stick in your brain like a thumbtack And if you thought I was slummin', wrong You know that I'm comin' strong This is a Flavorized drum track So take a stand and plan to upraise your hand When you agree what I'm speakin' is purely truth I rap the style of rhyme that opens up your mind To the way things have been since my youth Why am I riffin'? Just listen and see if I can rock While you be-bop to breaks I drop I'm the Future Shock.
