Profound Lyrics

(feat. Kashiem)

[Kashiem]
Day One in my journal's where it start from
A potion, for inner strength, that's the outcome
Cause my mental gets deep on individuals
Yet a feeble body to me is not a virtue
Cause the strength in my mind will not hurt you
I curse you like Yacub Ashou Alyu
If it's you cool, me I knew I'd name it one day
Then it struck like a hammer, call it Gamma Ray
I'm alienated like your dark skies
How I part tide of energies within let's bring it outside
Like a machine that's used to measure time
But will it measure mine?
Between this world and space there's a thin line
I'm like the brink of insanity, that's my reality
If David met you, you couldn't handle me
Day Two I'm makin progress, reporters get stressed
They couldn't stand the smell of human burnt flesh
I turn the innocent to grim reapers
I took a little baby rabbit and did experiment on meat eaters
I turn the skeptic into true believers
I turn the fighter into Rison, turn the breeders into non-breeders
So put that momma unborn baby girl, that's pure like the pearl
My scientific methods soon will shock the world
They try to label this as Top Secret, but if it's Top Secret
They only try to use it, when they need it
The project now is known as Governmental, well if it's Governmental
They'll go to any length to keep it confidential
Yet I know what's wrong I need me manner, but if I break
My code of silence would this mean the death of Dr. Banner?
But I can't hear to lose or any notion
Yet I wonder what would happen if I fucked around
And took the potion..

[growling noises, obvious Hulk mutation]

"David? David is that you??
My.. that's the worst I've seen him.." [SIGH]
"Dr. Banner is no longer in the pressure chamber.
He has metamorphisized into some.. extrordinary creature!"

[Profound]
Extra..ordinary YES
Hulk, dominate, watch crime shape
Break, newsmen, who give chase
Erase obliterate, need more space
He intrude on, Hulk territory
Now see man in, him own news territory
Glory be Hulk, made to destroy
Enjoy destruction, one whole convoy
Doctor need me, him weak, and feeble
Hulk destroy him, me blessed, with evil
Intentions dipped in, the walls, they fall
Hulk eliminate, barricades all
Chains don't hold him, they wrap, me mangle
Strangle bad man, then snap, him ankle
Thank you David, for use, of Gamma
Rays Hulk medicine to last all days
Me crazed, posessive, want, whole body
David Banner's mind, green skin for everybody
Now you see me, Hulk no stranger
It be smart, you to me, not anger
Hulk posess, outer strength of a He-Man
Crush machinery, a bomb and a mad clip
Lives through explosion, him powered by attitude
Hulk keep growing, me am a bad dude
To move Earth shatterer him must keep pace
But Doctor want cure, him must have faith




To escape be free Dr. Banner must travel
Now in every city street, you can STILL feel the animal!

Overall Meaning

The song "The Hulk" by Profound featuring Kashiem is a reflection of the inner conflict of Dr. David Banner's character from the popular Marvel comic book series. The character of David Banner is a brilliant but troubled scientist who attempts to harness the power of gamma radiation, which ultimately results in him turning into the behemoth known as The Hulk.

He compares himself to an alienated figure amidst dark skies, trying to measure his own existence while balancing the energies within himself. Kashiem's transformation into the Hulk is complete with a growling noise, signifying his mutation.

There are biblical references to evil and walls falling, signifying the enormous destructive power of the Hulk.

There are references to destruction, including crushing machinery and surviving a bomb explosion.

Koury Gibson

We got more fam

Fan Dumb

The only copy of this I had was from literally recording it on cassette off a local Dallas hip hop radio show (shoutout to Eazy Eddie D) back in 99'. Been trying to find the artist or even the song title for years. I was digging through some of those old tapes the other day and I happened to have my phone with me so I could finally look it up. This track was always so creative and fun to me. I just love the whole concept of it and the way it captures the duality of the Hulk character. And the fact that it was off a Bomb Hip Hop compilation is no surprise at all. That label introduced me to some dope tracks and artists over the years. Thanks for posting this!
