The Volume

Lyrics

Verse 1 (Jeremedy): 10 million watt amplification banging from the bottom of the basement Futuristic lyricists chipping raps in the caves man Meditating in the middle of the underground Levitating higher than the mother fucking thunderclouds (Mantra) Making em wonder how the hieroglyphics we inscripted Could lead to the very events the lyrics predicted Meaning their meaning would never be treated with indifference Even if It seemed to be written with primitive equipment (Jeremedy) It's limited edition, even after a 2 million year long intermission it's still in mint condition Lyrics that shoot to hit through human tissue So when you choose to listen to the ancient futuristic fusion kick in (Mantra) This is something different, dangerous and forbidden Hidden away from sight but you hear it off in the distance It's brilliance meant every sentence was heritage listed Long before the populace had ever fallen victim to… Chrous: The volume We put it up to put it on you It's all part of the sound that we belong to We raise it up as a way to conduct energy. collectively So any dial you touch better be The volume We put it up to put it on you Part of this powerful sound that we belong to We raise it up as a way to conduct energy Tell us who else could it be, Mantra and Jeremedy Verse 2: (Mantra & Jeremedy) The volume, such an immaculate premise It now leapt from out of the depths of cavernous crevices Deafening as it was, many said it was the reckoning Turned their attention to the direction it was headed in Put a blanket on the silence got tangled up in violence Divided up in many different forms to form alliances Tyrants and sirens alike tried to light with it As time went some lost sight of it The people of the modern age were fronting They said they wanted swagger over substance, sparking an animated discussion Their manner of consumption was such that it left the ones with underfunded production budgets wondering if luck was coming And yo a picture paints a thousand words But like an alchemist a sound can make a mountain blur And how absurd to think from a whisper a shout emerge And by the sound of it city upon city about to be immersed in the volume (Chorus) Bridge: (Jeremedy) Falling towards the planet I swore to myself That I would increase the volume of anything I touched So here I am to modify the system so it bang Verse 3: (Mantra) Get it boomin til its so super voluminous super-humans in tune with It We manoeuvre the truth in it the proof is in the music kid Two elusive illusionists, movin through it like fugitives How do they do it? That's our cue to ruin the rudiments (Jeremedy) Truthfully I'm using my musicianship to cruise the seas It was usually working beautifully until the mutiny The volume was limitless. til the whole ship had tinnitus Had em at my fingertips til they're sympathy would sink with us (Mantra) From imminent relinquishment of vigilance to conquer the continents Built bridges from the cities to the pyramids Living in this vast village of sonic omnipotence Instilling a will to get Mad With It within its citizens... That's when we hit em with THE VOLUME
