Ahead of Our Time - Natural Elements

So ahead of our

Time, who better to lead the way?

Natural

Elements forever, and we are they.

There’s hella disarray

Whenever we be away, but we the type

Of people you never should keep at bay.

So ahead of our

Time, who better to lead the charge?

«NE

For life» will never be a façade, and we’re the same

Strength together when we apart, and we always keep

Alignment consecutive with the gods.

God damn

Land this in the ears of the hearing-impaired

So they can hear the same shit that their parents could hear

Yeah, Natural Elements, bitch.

Follow the leaders

Bottles of beakers bubble up as you swallow a liter

I mean, your bitch the molly-eater, my Florida keeper

The omelet-beater, Orangina, her waffles are ether

Alright, some Condoleezza, you gotta come meet her

She put organic avocados on top of her pizza

Whoo!

Back to NE, the greatest to do it

That means you love us if you’re smart and you hate if you stupid

We’re like straight-A students when making this music

And every day is graduation—that's daily improvement

And we done finished graduate school, but took it

Back to factory settings to rap for you fools

Back to school, but we’re breaking all the faculty rules

Screw your math.

I’m doing laps in the pool—zoom!

God damn

I be

The archetype emcee on mics.

Fool, you’ll never see

The likes like blocks from social media sites

Speaking in numerical code like real right, receive

Life like panspermia on meteorite

My timespan before these emcees' life began.

I’m like that

Mystery, laughing at their best-laid plans.

Elohim

Afraid, the weak can do whatever they can.

Prometheus

I steal the fire from gods, gave it to man.

Born

B.C.

and A.D.—Before Crack and After Dope.

They have to quote

Chapters I wrote like ecclesiastical notes.

Four-hundred

Eighty megahertz—switch the frequency—four-hundred thirty-two

Megahertz, a deity emcee.

Wrote this on

Zero-Fucks-Given Day.

Those that sit and pray are sitting prey

Like shaman, craft whiskey, spit and spray

Why wait later?

Get it today, cop it now.

A later date

Ain’t happened at a later date—it happened now

So ahead of our

God damn

I keep

A sword in my hand like He-Man in front the Castle of

Grayskull, North Face Gore-Tex and my X-Men

Mega-print.

I spent $ 700 on it.

I’m a

Derelict yet an avant-garde savant

So what, so what, so what you want, what you want?

I was

Literally conceived in East Tremont, so I guess

Technically, I’m from the Bronx, a legacy of

Legends embedded in my genetics.

My pops is

A poet, step-pops a sketch artist—that's why I spit

Bars, geek out, and collect comics.

I should teach

A course on Ebonics at City College.

My drip vintage

Down to the kicks, Olajuwon Etonics

So ahead of my time, my wrist is watch-less

My apartment is clock-less, your remarks are innocuous

It’s NE for life—yeah, that’s obvious.

I’m just

Rocking with whatever the universe want from us

So ahead of our
