Hiero, y'all

It's not a wrong thing to be addicted to the microphone like a heroin fiend
I'll tell you one thing you'll never catch me frontin'
As I proceed to give the people what they wantin'
You're making some green

But not for drama or fashion
I'm stackin' cash until I can get Moms a mansion
All from rappin'? Nah, man, there's many plans
Like investin' in land it started all from impressin' the fans

With brand new flows and you know
All the way from gangsta clones to weirdos
Fools used those but we ain't trippin'
Give respect when you see this you need us
Or your raps under develop like a fetus

Those that know not doze and it shows
When we broke out the knock hos hopped out they clothes
That's positive feedback yep, The Prose
I'm poised, we never pose, you'll never know

From '93 'til infinity we've been inventive
Creating the bump is our only incentive
And it's been a long time since I feel I've been felt
But the only thing I fear is fear itself

So you know what we gots to do
Maybe could we keep it within the crew
Like it should be? Never givin' out
We're livin' out our dreams if there's somethin' I can't live without
That's my team you never knew

Hieroglyphics hip-hop is vintage
Underground like silos launchin' long-range ballistics
World-renowned, we ground-breakin'
Musical boundaries runnin' circles around emcees

Del been rhymin' for more than a decade
Onto the next stage, while emcees need aid
Stay paid, I'm still grade-A none of that tomfoolery
As you can see this shit ain't nothin' new to me

Utterly hovering over other things material
You're stuck in the here and now
Plus you're sweating profusely, here's a towel
Your fears are now reality when I take your dream states

And elaborate on how your team's fake
With phony IDs, but sometimes I feel like
Only I see through the charade you've made
In today but hey, tomorrow it's played
And then they got a new fool in your place to be okayed

Hieroglyphics hip-hop is vintage invented in days back
Rekindling in ways that many thought was lost
In this contemporary maze of methods to floss
We finding trees and trails to blaze boundaries to cross
We can be found beyond the bounds of reason
Or earthbound, heatin' up the Coliseum

They rushed the stage full-throttle in Chicago our brains interlocked
Where fakin' emcees get caught with the 40-bottle
Or get their chains snatched, pronto
We unstoppable, droppin' flows in Toronto
Maneuverin' through Vancouver and on to Japan
Where they put major grands in my hand follow

Straight from the heart we set apart from the rest an'
Our perfection on the microphone was predestined
World-renowned, we ground-breakin'
Musical boundaries runnin' circles around emcees
