Here we stand
Each of us afraid to make a sound
Hoping love will turn this thing around
And I know what I must do
CHORUS:
So I will let you go
Yes fly away my love
Linger for awhile
Live for a strangers smile
And hope it is enough
You'll return
But I must let you go
Sometimes
Two steps back is just what lovers need
Not knowing that it's love
that makes us free
So I'll be brave and retreat
CHORUS:
'cause I will let you go
Fly away my love
Linger for awhile
Live for a strangers smile
And hope that is enough
You'll return
But I must let you go
No it's not, no it's not fair darling
Missing precious hours, precious days
Making you figure out
What I know to be true
Love remains
Fly away my love
Linger for awhile
Live for a strangers smile
And hope that is enough
You'll return
I know
But I must let you go[Iriscience]
Uh, Platform Squadron
Dilated Platoon, Evidence infantry
Babu heavy artillery
Rakaa Iriscience communications, stealth operations
Platform Squadron, Soul Assassins, The Alchemist
Suckers are hidin
[Evidence]
Yo turn the power on, insert the disk
Tonight you ain't the joint if you ain't Muggs or Alchemist
Most kids shoulda listen, my catcher should warn ya
(Fuck down the center, it's about brushin the corners)
Evidence, the main element to mystery
Try to seize the moment, the future just was history
Intelligent, they gasped, the industry detected
I knew superstarts who now can get arrested
Love rhymes off the shit I thrive
Tried but couldn't get in to see KRS live
Document my thoughts in order as they come
(That's the sound of the man!) Obsessed wit drums
Beat up the one, kill the two-three etcetera
Four starts the war, repeat the loop, beats competitor
For better or worse, edit my curse, still explicit
Vocals intact, your logos could never diss it
So check it out, exhale the blown trees
Don't miss a thing, dot my I's, cross my T's
From seven seas yo yo to seven continents
From the alphabet, vowels and consonants
*Babu cutting up sample*
"Suckas are hidin" [B-Real]
[Iriscience] *in background*
Now you know, suckas be hidin
But they can't dodge or they can't camoflague
Platform is in full effect
Evidence, Iriscience, Babu
The Alchemist on the track, pushin buttons
Pullin strings, the Dilated Wild Style
The globe trotter, earth, wind, fire and water
Turnin local rappers into neighborhood martyrs
Platform's home, the city and spot blown
I got poems that burn more ears than hot combs
I motivate, live on stage, there's no debate
Babs, you got time in the pocket, throw the break
I take it to the brink when decoding the snake
In Holland, next to Fat Beats, rollin
