[Intro: Evidence & (Babu)
Dilated (uh-huh)
In my creative mind state
Every word is heat (feel the impact)
Dilated expand (it's goin' down)
The Platform (remix)
Yo (it's time to go)
Get on the plane or don't
Either way the show must go on (yeah) and that I quote
A cat like me never knew how to backtrack
I open up doors in fact
I see guys and girls dancin'
Open up my flows at random
There's no retreat, hold your beats for ransom
No means no and that's the answer
I can see in the dark with my lantern
Triple optic, Iriscience, Evidence ready to rocket
Of course Babu always in pocket
That's right, example of a show that's tight
Showin' you corny motherfuckers what hip hop's supposed to sound like
(You wanna front, what?) It's for the heads that know
And if you don't check the Platform and catch a live show
(You wanna front, what?) We pro-game selected
Family is family, worldwide connected
(You wanna front, what?) On beats from the streets
Step up party people, every word is heat
(You wanna front, what?) We hit it right and exact
For my peoples in the middle, in the front and the back
Ayo, Rakim's my name, stealth like spy planes
I defy your body armor, hit higher than migraines
Now why they stalk me? I'm what the state of the art be
Clear the runway, I spread wings like Paul McCartney
And now I'm static, I leave 'em nervous in a panic
I'm automatic, every word is cinematic
I turn stages to theaters and turn verses to scenes
And see with your ears, I'm turning speakers to screams
Theatric, Babu blast with scratch tactics
From my block to rap addicts or fanatics
I gotta hand it to the Green Eyed Bandit
Like Bam Rock the Planet, Dilated Expand
(You wanna front, what?) On beats from the streets
Step up party people, every word is heat
(You wanna front, what?) We hit it right and exact
For my peoples in the middle, in the front and the back
(You wanna front, what?) It's for the heads that know
And if you don't check the Platform and catch a live show
(You wanna front, what?) We pro-game selected
Family is family, worldwide connected
It's for the ladies lookin' forward to the club these days
And turntablists, radio and club DJs
Rock steady, Dilated create to devastate
Nothin' to prove but then I never hesitate
For Rob One, Skate, Cream and Don D
For all my peoples put to the test like Gandhi
The Platform takes respect to perfect the art form
At times a battleground where rappers get their hearts torn
Yo, our album's nothin' short of incredible
I'm from a place called "You Know My Name," clearly legible
Too many days gone by when I ain't feelin' shit
Not just talkin' but doin' it, skill revealin' it
The Platform blow trees like bees swarm
Definitely different from the norm
You wanna front, what? Strategy, mix words with alchemy
Evidence, I won't get caught shut on the balcony
(You wanna front, what?) It's for the heads that know
And if you don't check the Platform and catch a live show
(You wanna front, what?) We pro-game selected
Family is family, worldwide connected
(You wanna front, what?) On beats from the streets
Step up party people, every word is heat
(You wanna front, what?) We hit it right and exact
For my peoples in the middle, in the front and the back
Dilated expand
Dilated expand
Dilated expand
Dilated expand (The Platform)
