From The Outside
Deepspace 5 Lyrics

From the outside, certified, gold and classic
Deepspace 5 is established and well-respected

Deepspace 5, the art of boombastic
Deepspace 5 is skilled in creating powerful music

Soon as my man passed it, Fred came to smash it
Fred is quick to take control of the music and make it his own

Blast it until your shell becomes cracked, it's
Fred's music is so strong it can break down barriers

Massive, passive, gross attractive
Fred's music draws attention and is all-consuming

Freddie burns the beat like lactic acid
Fred is a powerful force in the music

Fantastic, wild out, feeling spastic
Fred's energy is electric and frenzied

Let the outside reflect the inside and flash it
Fred wants his music to reflect his true self

Can't pass at all, we stop traffic
Deepspace 5 is commanding and can't be ignored

Live and on plastic, drive a strong passion
Deepspace 5's music is passionate and authentic

Mine, we on past the night to dawn after
Deepspace 5 is dedicated and hardworking, pushing through the night toward success

Deepspace 5, we born to form classics
Deepspace 5 is meant to create timeless music

There's a war going on inside
We are all battling internal struggles

No soul is safe, nowhere to hide
Our inner conflicts affect us all

You could put your hands up, doesn't matter how high son
Our problems can't be solved easily or by pretending they don't exist

You ain't got one prayer you could buy one
There is no easy way out of our inner turmoil

Close your credit and fade to black
Don't rely on material possessions or superficial things

Got a bible in the back with the gangsta rap
Playdough combines different influences in his music

With a big, gold plaque, yo thanks for that
Playdough is grateful for his success

Full tank full bank what you think of that?
Playdough has financial success, but it doesn't define him

It don't mean no thing in the hill of beans
Material success isn't important in the grand scheme of things

At the end of the day we just human beings
We're all equal in our humanity

So dirty but I brush my teeth with chlorine
Playdough strives for cleanliness in his music

Why you think my rap is so clean?
Cleaning up his music is important to Playdough

(Allen Toussaint/Elvis Costello sample 'Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further?')
A sample that speaks to the need for help and support

We may seem happy, like everything's alright
People can look happy on the outside, but struggles may be hidden

From the outside looking in, everything's uptight
It's easy to misjudge or misunderstand someone's life from the outside

Check out my crew, we so hollywood
Sivion and his crew are confident and glamorous

Love what we do cuz hip hop is good
Sivion and his crew are passionate about hip hop

It's understood when we roll through your hood
Sivion's crew is respected in the neighborhood

Make it do what it do when your bro never could
Sivion's crew overcomes obstacles and succeeds against the odds

I think you should hang up the plastic
Sivion encourages others to move away from superficiality

Metal mesh, 58, sour like Vlasic
Sivion uses colorful language to describe his music

Might sound better after some practice
Sivion acknowledges that improvement can come with hard work

Sev and the crew make a brother fantastic
Sivion gives credit to Sev and the rest of his crew for making him great

I work the field with two hands
Listener is hardworking and dedicated to his craft

I move the dirt with my back
Listener doesn't shy away from physical labor

I wash it clean with the sweat
Listener is willing to put in the effort to make things right

Let if grow from the ground, go help the rest
Listener wants to help others and help things grow naturally

I move the wind with my wings
Listener has a free spirit and is able to move quickly

I fill the depths of the sea
Listener is untethered, able to access hidden and deep places

I dig my roots in the water
Listener is grounded in stability and strength

Hold the ground steady for your dragons and daughters
Listener wants to create stability and safety for his loved ones

Roses are red and violets for certain
Playdough is poetic and loves wordplay

The inside working speaking third person
Playdough reflects on himself and his music

The precursor, universal networking
Playdough sees himself as a leader and visionary

The outside lurking inside my church
Playdough is thoughtful and introspective

Put your wingtip right on my lip, I spit shine
Sintax is confident in his abilities

Shoestring tight grip, polish your mind
Sintax is focused on success and improvement

Buff that rhyme out, wax so poetic
Sintax cares about the details of his music

Sintax.the.Terrific paint a black aesthetic
Sintax has a dark and cool aesthetic

On the outside, hoping that the ink sinks in
Sintax wants his music to make an impact

My custom kiwi leather bottle leaking
Sintax's music is unique and crafted just for him

See me bombing something divine
Sintax is explosive and powerful in his music

When I spit it on out I make the inside shine
Sintax's music reflects his true self and inner thoughts

So turn it up, baby
Fred wants his music to be heard

Bang out your trunk, baby
Fred's music is meant to be played loud

Shout who you are from the moon to the stars, baby
Be proud of who you are and don't be afraid to show it

Forget the rest, baby
Don't worry about what others think

Give it your best, baby
Put in the effort and be true to yourself

Loving yourself is the wealth and the test, baby
Self-love is important and the ultimate measure of success

Get your hands off the glass,
Stop focusing on superficial things

This ain't nothing to look at, better off to pass
There's more to life than appearances

Never said a word,
Sev doesn't need to speak to make a statement

But you got that look like you concerned
Sev knows people are watching and judging him

I might say something that you ain't going to like
Sev is willing to be controversial and truthful

Most likely so, but it's alright
Sev is comfortable with his opinions and words

It's a little too hot for us all to fight
Sev doesn't want to start conflicts

You picked the right MC, but the wrong mic
Sev's message is important, but the medium may not be

I'll take it back and then give it
Sivion is reflective and introspective

Pour out the soul, the globe and then rip it
Sivion's music comes from a deep place and reflects the world around him

Look at the hourglass, the shapes shifting
Sivion sees the passage of time and the evolution of things

Form of the deepest space for soul lifting
Sivion's music can inspire and uplift the spirit

Flesh on the outside, spirit on the inside
There is a duality to our existence

Pressed to the image of God come alive
We are made in God's image and should strive to reflect that

Fresh on the outside, fierce on the inside
Appearances can be deceiving

That's the definition of Deepspace 5
Deepspace 5 is complex and multifaceted

You might think, me and the band are big time and kickin' it
ManCHILD is aware of how he and his band may be perceived

On time definitive, one grind, delivering
ManCHILD takes his music seriously and works hard

Black balls to any celler dwellers and fellas that want to get down
ManCHILD is fearless and unafraid to take risks

Rocksteady tell them to sit down
ManCHILD's music is commanding and powerful

You might think that this town is big enough
ManCHILD is aware of his own limitations and those of his surroundings

To fit inside a little bit of triple crown style
ManCHILD strives to be unique and multifaceted

And big brown, here we developing hits now
ManCHILD's music is successful and growing in popularity

But every cat said in my big mouth it gets out
ManCHILD acknowledges that he sometimes talks too much

When I get to heaven, I'll ask God to send me back,
Listener desires to help others even after he passes on

Into my home is blind and broken help us get on track
Listener wants to make his community better

Armor on the outside, golden wings spread out wide,
Listener is strong and resilient, but also free and untethered

I'll shelter all my brothers, sisters let them come inside
Listener wants to provide protection and safety for his loved ones

oh come inside, come inside
Listener extends an invitation and a warm welcome to others
