Verbal Anime - The Herbaliser, Iriscience

«Like, uh, this is your lucky day, see.

I will uh like, you know, fill you in how come.

Suppose you like didn’t, uuuh,

run up to a couple of sweet guy like us.»

«Heavens no!»

«Oh yeah well we wouldn’t want that to happen.»

«So I tell you what we’re gonna do.»

«Oh let’s just dispense with formalities

And uh, get down to like business.»

«This is verbal anime, graphic animation»

I’ve seen ghosts in the shell, ninja scrolls, and a curer

But the illest character I’ve seen was in the mirror

Open up the world, people lend me an ear

It’s a family affair and let me make that clear

Raaka, I keep my propaganda proper

In circles I’m high, swing blades like helicopters

In this stage of my life I choose to develop shock words

While cats look lost without the teleprompters

Federado tour duty, medal of honor

Since life is a battle your best bet is betting on it Check the conference, we on stage with weapons on us Microphones, straight Robin Hoods, its economics

Yes yes, it all starts with a sketch

Snapshots, motion pictures and special effects

We stretch the game out, we expand the nation

And this is verbal anime graphic animation

Funk imagination

Come to illustration

Then we bring pictures to life

We call it animation

You got to know the time like the grand verbalizer

It’s time, Iriscience with The Herbaliser

A light this bright might burn through your visor

I know you want to squint, but, open your eyes up!

I jump up and let the earth spin round

And don’t come down 'til I’m floating over your town

Nothing to prove, making the people move

Whether double-decker bus, taxi or the tube

Mind the cap, we did crime now we climb the map

Check how I spit rhyme to rap

Yes yes, it all starts with a sketch

Snapshots, motion pictures and special effects

We stretch the game out, expand the nation

This is verbal anime graphic animation

Ohhhhhh, Herbaliser, U. K, CA, LA, all day

Funk imagination

Come to illustration

Then we bring pictures to life

We call it animation

I trade money at the Combio, dollars for pounds

Massacre, musical murder I’m killing your sound!

But hardly softly, how’s that feel to you now?

I chew raw iron and I spit steel to the crowd

Magnetic attraction don’t repel

I attract retail, underground rebel

Dilated Peoples: the few, the proud, the brave

Nice in the studio and +Live On Stage+

Drop so many bars I leave the beat in a cage

Some are courageous, some afraid to turn the page

Rappers stacking rhymes, you can take a quick look

And animate my lyric sheets like a flipbook

Thoughts in effect it all starts with a sketch

Snapshots, motion pictures and special effects

Stretch the game out, expand the nation
