[ti:Black Market (Raw Material Album Version)] [ar:Mars Ill] [al:Raw Material] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Black Market (Raw Material Album Version) - Mars Ill [00:20.69]The black market [00:21.58]Where blue blooded emcees split red seas since it started [00:24.08]Where beyond gold and platinum is the target [00:26.07]Rockin it with real skill leaves greenhorns green with envy [00:28.64]And rappin about your cherry red Benz still seems empty [00:31.07]Where blue collar rhyme sayers really mean what they be speakin [00:33.96]And the cat you rhyme behind's not donned by yellow streaks and [00:36.61]Every week at open mics we paint the clouds with silver lining [00:38.95]Perfect rhymes can't be achieved but every moment is defining [00:41.74]On time to spray your mind with some surrealist imagery [00:44.04]Plus feed 5000 emcees with a single simile [00:46.88]I got a metaphor like just introduced to quadruplets [00:49.65]Most heads want more [00:50.71]So I expose them like a nudist [00:52.18]Yo you're Alicia Silverstone type clueless to the fact [00:54.79]That we bring El Shaddai to ciphers [00:56.22]At points all across the map [00:57.36]So black take it to my chest [00:58.78]You know I'll bring it back to you [01:00.25]The black-market be white hot [01:01.48]Or leave here black and blue [01:02.83]Underground is the sound of rebirth [01:04.74]So my turf keeps me locked down [01:06.45]With the Godsound under earth [01:08.01]While I'm destined for the sky [01:09.44]Adonai is the target [01:10.74]Still I can't escape the Black Market [01:12.64] [01:13.21]Underground is the sound of rebirth [01:15.30]So my turf keeps me locked down [01:17.03]With the Godsound under earth [01:18.73]While I'm destined for the sky [01:20.06]Adonai is the target [01:21.53]Still I can't escape the Black Market [01:23.70]Deep into the black record crack while I'm incognito [01:26.66]Disguised for surprise dressed down in tuxedo [01:29.20]With the mushpot Christ and hip-hop I'm steady jugglin [01:32.02]And bargainin the jargon in the Church [01:33.84]Where I'm smugglin my rhymes [01:35.03]That's the crime so they label me a criminal [01:37.13]Now people in the steeple gotta keep rap subliminal [01:39.07] [01:39.87]Or unseen and heard not a word to the pews [01:42.21]They fear the ill tattoos plus my check one twos [01:44.89]Nevertheless I press keeping raps righteous [01:47.47]They wanna test my effervesce cuz it's so effortless [01:50.18]On metronomes their fleet can't defeat my poem [01:52.72]I circle the globe to make the whole world my home [01:55.30]But cancel that this is only the place I travel at [01:58.07]So I'm wandering sound for holy ground habitat [02:00.66]Where the rabbits at [02:01.84]Under the earth working my phono [02:03.53]You searching for your crew while I'm flying Han Solo [02:06.13]Underground is the sound of rebirth [02:07.94]So my turf keeps me locked down [02:09.78]With the Godsound under earth [02:11.31]While I'm destined for the sky [02:12.80]Adonai is the target [02:14.18]Still I can't escape the Black Market [02:16.43]Underground is the sound of rebirth [02:18.47]So my turf keeps me locked down [02:20.32]With the Godsound under earth [02:21.91]While I'm destined for the sky [02:23.22]Adonai is the target [02:24.64]Still I can't escape the Black Market [02:27.00]I call shots like a referee [02:28.79]Fighting for your destiny [02:30.03]Sound the reverie settle the score like a refugee [02:32.57]Selected pedigree when I rock so steadily [02:35.10]And then burn the ideals of the world in effigy [02:37.63]While me and Freddie B are more [02:39.17]Underground than they could ever be [02:40.68]We're reverently riding blue skies we're seeing seldomly [02:42.67] [02:43.22]From pushing envelope with cross hairs and scope [02:45.74]Locked onto the bullseye [02:47.09]So watch it as I pull my [02:48.54]Hollow tipped scripts come equipped to spit darts [02:50.81]I'll take my shot in the dark [02:52.18]It ain't a walk in the park [02:53.48]Finish to start these cats are still jacking the art [02:56.09]But me I dominate the market [02:57.47]That's as black as their heart [02:58.61]Inside the ventricles [02:59.55]I flip it around to make receptacles [03:00.97] [03:01.69]And fill with Mars ILL Harmonic is apostolic [03:03.90]And intercede so you no longer bleed the night [03:06.53]I'm chasing shadows in sound battles [03:08.23]Filling markets with light [03:09.39]Underground is the sound of rebirth [03:11.22]So my turf keeps me locked down [03:12.89]With the Godsound under earth [03:14.66]While I'm destined for the sky [03:16.08]Adonai is the target [03:17.46]Still I can't escape the Black Market [03:19.89]Underground is the sound of rebirth [03:21.82]So my turf keeps me locked down [03:23.50]With the Godsound under earth [03:25.25]While I'm destined for the sky [03:26.59]Adonai is the target [03:28.09]Still I can't escape the Black Market [03:30.26]Underground is the sound of rebirth [03:32.50]So my turf keeps me locked down [03:34.19]With the Godsound under earth [03:35.84]While I'm destined for the sky [03:37.21]Adonai is the target
