[00:01.76]Flobots - Cracks in the Surface
[00:03.14]The water level's rising, the water level's rising
[00:06.26]Everyone alive sing: Who will turn the tide?
[00:09.33]Bring about land grabs sand bags bring 'em out
[00:12.14]It's hard to yell with the Atlantic in your mouth.
[00:14.89]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick,
[00:19.76]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick.
[00:26.08]One becomes two becomes three becomes four
[00:29.89]Our sound waves run your city like parkour
[00:32.07]Provokin' encores but we know you want more
[00:34.83]That's what we're doing this for.
[00:37.89]Four becomes three becomes two becomes one
[00:41.07]The metamorphosis cannot be undone
[00:43.08]We burst forth from the land toward the sun
[00:46.39]And transform, the advance has begun.
[00:48.63]Like Mary J I'm obliged to hollerate and prophesy
[00:51.83]Nostradamus on the topics often dropped on open mics
[00:54.82]When both sides are vocalized the crowd spits the dopest lines
[00:58.26]Efforts gain significance like overdrives of dopamine.
[01:00.32]These narcissists forget to do their exercise,
[01:02.20]confused by what success implies
[01:03.51]Name drop successive tries in drive thrus to get extra fries
[01:06.20]Emancipating free speech when I run my mouth terminal
[01:08.39]cancer patients say 'Hey when's the C.D. coming out?'
[01:11.88]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick,
[01:16.45]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick.
[01:22.51]Rhyming enigma I keep 'em guessing
[01:25.88]My rhymes are like ribbons when I wrap the present
[01:28.76]Recapture lessons, the ancestors prefaced
[01:30.77]In deference to how we break it down to the essence
[01:34.57]'Cause there're cracks in the surface, nobody wants to see 'em
[01:37.89]Strategic war games don't call 'em human beings
[01:40.07]They call 'em like they want 'em for a prop in their battle rap
[01:43.52]But Solomon and Math will dap after play the track backwards
[01:46.08]Because there's too much death energy
[01:48.13]Let it be a muse sing to your best enemy
[01:51.20]Never let it be your task master,
[01:52.82]let's finish things alive with oppression and disaster diminishing.
[01:55.26]One becomes two becomes three becomes four
[02:00.14]Our sound waves run your city like parkour
[02:02.89]Provokin' encores but we know you want more
[02:05.76]That's what we're doing this for.
[02:08.64]Four becomes three becomes two becomes one
[02:11.38]The metamorphosis cannot be undone
[02:13.45]We burst forth from the land toward the sun
[02:17.14]And transform, the advance has begun.
[02:19.14]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick,
[02:24.76]Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick tick.
[02:29.39]Break, them, down. Break, them, down. Break, them down...
[02:34.70]Break, them, down. Break, them, down. Break, them down...
