Suntoucher
Groove Armada Lyrics

Urban organic, Mic mechanic
I am from the city but I still have a connection to nature, and my skills with the microphone are like those of a mechanic.

Super-human MC powers help me fly around the planet
My abilities as an MC are so extraordinary that it feels like I can fly around the world with them.

Touch the microphone device, whole countries get flattened
When I wield the microphone, my talents are so powerful that they could metaphorically destroy entire nations.

Saving damsels in distress so young girls don't panic
I use my music to uplift young women who may be struggling to boost their confidence.

Putting MCs under pressure till they crack like ceramic
I challenge other MCs so intensely that they will ultimately break under the pressure, like cracking ceramic.

Always thought they could flow but sink like the Titanic
Some MCs may believe that they are skilled, but when put to the test they falter and fail, like the Titanic did when it sank.

Rhymes rip through your skull like icebergs through the hull
My rhymes are forceful and penetrating, cutting through a listener's consciousness like an iceberg through a ship's hull.

Survive the impact, and arctic cold freezes your soul
If you can handle the power of my rhymes, you will emerge stronger, but colder and more guarded than before.

Create a new style, then break the mold
I innovate with my sound, then I push beyond conventional boundaries to really stand out.

Compositions are controlled, and liable to explode
Even though my music has a sense of precision and control, there's always a possibility for things to unexpectedly break open.

Like land mines, my crew blows through like wind chimes
My crew has a disruptive and explosive energy, moving through spaces like both land mines and wind chimes.

Make it hot like fire, two hundred proof like Moonshine
We bring the heat and intensity like flames, as well as the potency and kick of 200-proof moonshine.

Risky, playing yourself is risky
Trying to outdo me is a gamble that's not worth taking.

And the flows mad jazzy like Dizzy Gillespie
My delivery and style is reminiscent of the legendary jazz musician Dizzy Gillespie.

And the sound be harmonious and deadly
The harmonies in my music can be both beautiful but at the same time deadly with how powerful it can be.

Like a harpy call either break one like Wayne Gretzky
The sound can be so overwhelming that someone listening may either collapse or be greatly empowered by it, like how Wayne Gretzky could break past opponents with ease.

No man can test me, so why try?
I am at a level above any challenger, so anyone seeking to challenge me will inevitably fail.

Focus like a samurai, stronger than a Maitai
I hone my skills with a laser-like focus and am as strong and potent as a Mai Tai cocktail.

Or a Tsunama...I mean Tsunami
I am powerful like both a Tsunami and a slight misspelling of it.

I rock it from MTV, to the BBC
My music reaches a wide audience from MTV in America to BBC in the United Kingdom.

Radioactive waves short out your TV
My music is so strong that it can mess with electronic devices like shorting out TVs.

LESB check it for me in the next galaxy
My sound is so cosmic that extra-terrestrial life forms would surely pick it up if there was a Lower East Side Broadcast for them to connect with.

Put it in a time capsule till the next century
Even people in future generations will be able to appreciate the lasting impact and value of my music.

In a black out use it for electricity
My music is so powerful that it could be harnessed as a source of energy in dire situations, such as blackouts.

Danger, high voltage
My sound is potentially dangerous and has high voltage energy.

Don't feed me their daily dosage
I reject the mundane and unoriginal content that others try to pass off as music.

I break it down mathematically, 99.9 is a percentage
My music is broken down into a formulaic and precise science, with each component having exactly a 99.9% success rate.

Like closing fine wine the rhymes are vintage
My rhymes, like old vintage wine, only get better with age and maturity.

And the universal will gives me strength like spinach
The strength I gain from the universal/ spiritual power is like that of the cartoon character Popeye, who becomes stronger after eating spinach.

With dinage, I eat it like a tofu sandwich
I consume the challenges thrown my way as if they were an easy and delicious to eat meal like a tofu sandwich.

With cabbage, I ask your girl, she knows that
I can take any situation with simple or sparse resources and turn it into something great and complex, and everyone, even someone's girlfriend, can tell.

I'm not the average...nigga...who plays to pull the trigga
I'm not a typical person who resorts to violence to assert themselves or gain respect.

Reality's the root of the rhymes that I configure
All the lyrics that I write originate from the world we live in and the experiences that shape my reality.

Phony...baloney, swear like Don Corleone
Others can dish out insults as Don Corleone would, but it's all empty posturing, like fake baloney meat.

But when shit hit the fan they start crying like Pretty Tony
When things get rough, those who were initially braggadocious ultimately are exposed as weak and powerless, like Pretty Tony in the movie Scarface.

Tender like Roni...but wish to be bad like Bobby
Others may appear 'tender like Roni,' but secretly crave the toughness of Bobby Brown's persona.

Been there, done that, smashed up
I've been through it all, seen it all, and lived to tell the tale, having left destruction in my wake.

Rockin' rhymes is my hobby
Creating music and rapping is a passion that I pursue as a hobby and with zeal.

You're probably, like, what's he on
Others may not understand the energy and power behind what I do, so they wonder what drives me.

'Cause I rock it from the start, till the beat is gone
But they cannot deny that my music is captivating and 'rocks' all the way through to the end of each track.

Not in the mafia but I'm the microphone Don
I may not be involved in organized crime like the mafia, but I am certainly a top talent and leader in the world of music.

And the words that I shoot out my mouth are Teflon
Nothing can stick to me or take me down because my rhymes are so strong and impenetrable, like Teflon coating on cookware.

Jeru never touch ya, microphone wrecka
I will never let the microphone out of my grip and have become one with it as a weapon of lyricism.

Meet out in the stretcha
Any contender trying to challenge me would only meet a painful and complete defeat.

Step up in...my center
Those who attempt to get in my way or interfere will only end up in my crosshairs and at the center of my attention.

Try to match wits but the mentor will crush you
Even those who might think they can compete with me intellectually will quickly and definitely realize the error of their ways.

Jeru the Damager, the Suntoucher
I have earned the nickname of the Damager because of how forcefully I arrive on the scene, and the Suntoucher for how I am able to capture the hearts and minds of my audience with my music.
