De La Soul - Royalty Capes lyrics

[Intro] It's the flies They are so annoying (Shut up you fool, she's here) Ladies and gents Crystal carrying pixie peasants and warriors Elders, ancestors, sons and daughters Lion hearted kings and everything in between Take a seat, be witness [Verse 1] You consider 'em king, about to icing on cakes Chariots cruise at tortoise speeds Lay your bifocals on royalty Longer than Sears catalogue Stern like matadors and (?) LPs Mirror the crimson tide The color of the Rubics Them duplex fuse got your nose up But coozy up to this warmth though That long term froze is up The jone is up I get swallowed by the barracuda Androids read raps off iPhones I choke the blood out of felt tips Heavy weights up to the front if the belt fits The wealth is like ivory toothpicks One out of each tusk And must gets bust for each and every hiccup Salute life when dawn breaks Foreign colors foreign mink lapel’s on these royalty capes I repeat, salute life when dawn breaks Foreign colors foreign mink lapel’s on these royalty capes Royalty [Interlude] Behold this divine alignment scrolled secretly in cloud formations. Waterfall rythmes from crowns containing galaxies. Gems from past dimensions. A bond so strong it has unbreakable status. Spits hieroglyphic scripture like a god from Atlantis [Verse 2] Us three be the omega like fish oil This royal right be own no rentals Owners of the cape express He went from the mind you ate off the plate of fundamentals Knocked on every door of the country's red rugs We'll lay on floors We walk and etched in like testament And find the atomic number 79 On Vernon's periodic table we dine upon Sittin' on thrones gettin' blown to bits By our royal dime, fillet of fine dinin' News from the east sire Them east coast kings are still findin' ways to stay on On for play on like a damn disease Spread the word of Ramseys and fry up a pan of these Salute down when day breaks And give me my checks with the same first name as the cape I repeat salute down when day breaks And give me my checks with the same first name as the capes We are royalty [Outro] We are an army of stars unleashed The sky takes notes when we speak Our capes move with the wind Because of the wings beneath This is royalty The sky takes notes when we speak Our capes move with the wind Because of the wings beneath This is royalty
