Above the Clouds
Gang Starr/Inspectah Deck Lyrics

It has come to our attention that a mysterious force is LOOSE..somewhere in outer space.
There is a strange unknown energy floating around in space we have become aware of

The mysteries of creation are there.
The secrets of the universe are out there waiting to be discovered

Up in the sky?
Is it located up in the sky?

Up in the sky.
Yes, it is located up in the sky

The moon and the planets are there.
Other celestial bodies like the moon and planets are also present in the sky

And new hopes for knowledge and peace are there.
Exploration of these mysterious forces can lead to new discoveries and pave the way for peace

And therefore as we set sail; we ask God's blessing -- on the most hazardous, and dangerous, and greatest adventure of which man has ever embarked.
As we embark on this unknown journey, we pray for divine guidance and protection

Prepared for liftoff.
We are ready to launch into space and explore these new frontiers

I self Lord and Master shall bring disaster to evil factors
I am the master of my own destiny and will wreak havoc on those who oppose me

Demonic chapters, shall be captured by Kings
Those who practice wickedness will be brought down by those in power

Through the storms of days after
Despite the hardships ahead

Unto the Earth from the Sun through triple darkness to blast ya with a force that can't be compared to any firepower, for it's mindpower shared
I will bring a powerful, unprecedented force that is stronger than any weapon, as it is derived from the power of the mind

The brainwake, causes vessels to circulate like constellations reflect at night off the lake
My words and message will circulate throughout the world, like the reflection of the stars in a lake

Word to the father, and Mother Earth Seeking everlasting life through this Hell for what it's worth
I am searching for the meaning and purpose of life, and will not stop until I find it, even if it means enduring hardships

Look listen and observe and watch another C-Cypher pullin my peeps to the curb
Pay attention to what is happening around you, as there are those who seek to harm or betray you

Heed the words; it's like ghetto style proverbs
Take note of my wise words, which are reminiscent of proverbs from the streets

The righteous pay a sacrifice to get what they deserve
Those who are good and just must make sacrifices in order to achieve their rightful rewards

Cannot afford to be confined to a cell Brainwaves swell, turnin a desert to a well
I refuse to be limited in any way and will use my powerful mind to cultivate ideas and create something from nothing

Experience the best teacher; thoughts will spray like street sweepers Little Daddy street preacher
The best way to learn is through experience, and my ideas will flow effortlessly like the words of a street preacher

Illustrious feature, narrator you select Accompanied by Deck plus the DJ you respect
My unique voice will bring a new perspective, joined by Inspectah Deck and other talented artists

The seven and a half combine, over the frontline
We are the elite, and will lead the charge towards the unknown

The ten percenters, promotin slander in the airtime
The few who spread lies and negativity through the media

Bear in mind jewels be the tools of the trade Sharp veins heavenly praise and dues are paid
Remember that knowledge is the key to success, and that hard work and sacrifice are necessary to achieve greatness

Above the crowds, above the clouds where the sounds are original Infinite skills create miracles Warrior spiritual -- above the clouds reigning/raining down, holdin it down
We are transcending the ordinary and reaching new heights, using our skills and spiritual power to make a positive change in the world

Yeah; I leave scientists mentally scarred -- triple extra large Wild like rock stars who smash guitars
I will leave those who seek to challenge me in a state of defeat, as I am larger than life, and have the unpredictability of a rockstar

Poison bars from the Gods bust holes in your mirage and catch a charge shake em down like the riot squad
My powerful and insightful lyrics will shatter your illusions, and you will be held accountable for your actions

And they deserve ruin like ancient Rome; I span the universe and return to Earth to claim my throne
Those who seek to oppress others will face their downfall, and I will travel through the cosmos to regain my power

The maker, owner, plus soul controller Ayatollah rest in the sky, the cloud's my sofa
I am the master of my own fate, and the sky is my domain

Stand like Collossus, regardless to whom or what Numerous attempts at my life, so who to trust
I stand tall and remain unwavering, despite attempts on my life, leading me to question who I can truly trust

Who but us, to supply you with the fire? The burning truth, 150 Absolut proof
Only we can give you the knowledge and power you need to succeed, as our words are authentic, and backed up by irrefutable evidence

On the mic like Moses spoke in golden scribe Survivor of the oldest tribe whose soldiers died
My words are like scripture, as ancient and timeless as those of Moses. I am a survivor, carrying on the legacy of those who have come before me

I notified families, we shed tears and more but our hands are the ammo cause the battle's still on
I have informed loved ones of the tragedies that have occurred, but we continue to fight for what is right

Sound the horn; we come rumblin through the function Precise laser beam technique to touch somethin
We are not backing down, and will come through with precision and power to affect change

When we die hard, to build the monument to honor us with humungous effect in the world we could have conquered it
Even in death, we will be remembered for our contributions and impact on the world, which could have changed everything
