One is one, and one is to know

And to know is to create

And to create is to know the full spiritual value of the mind and body

Then, we create


[Chorus]

The long awaited, most accommodated

Could never fade it cuz it's always hip hop related

Wack MCs, please, all y'all get annihilated

The LPs and the Peoples called the Dilated

Long Awaited


[Verse 1: Evidence]

Freeze, this shit is outta control

For example, an actor who never snapped out of his role

So many try to hold me back, the end, yo, I prevail

Watch for subliminals cuz devils in the details

2020 no doubt'll be confusing

Catch the story of my life on VH1 Behind The Music

(Ladies & Gentlemen), The starting line ups at home

We got four emcees and that's five with DJ Romes


[Verse 2: Wildchild]

B-boy mission in life is to add creativity to the battle scene

Got Dilated to detonate mic weapons for mic check fiends

Yo, Evidence (What's up?) What's that in your hand, is that a guidance missile? (Yes it is)

Call up ya man Rak' n tell 'em it's time to blow da spot

With metaphors, lyrically I slap MC's up with my ten inch

Pull rhymes right out my chest like Popeye does spinach

Because my song must stay strong with each bomb that we deploy

Destroy fake decoy B-boys for those who can't avoid


[Chorus]

The long awaited, most accommodated

Could never fade it cuz it's always hip hop related

Wack MCs, please, all y'all get annihilated

The LPs and the Peoples called the Dilated

Long Awaited


[Verse 3: Rakaa]

Yo if my peeps' are in the trenches then I'm where the battle is

Rakaa Iriscience A.K.A. the Catalyst

The weight of the world's on my shoulders like I'm Atlas

Dealing with the villainous tactics of the fascists

Real heads gotta rock the Lootpack shit

Defiant Dilated, yo I'll shoot back quick

Vocab like refugees but I call it vocap

Spit it, ventilate 'em, leave 'em layin' on their back


[Verse 4: Madlib]

It's mostly snakes handin' out contracts

Trying to see where I at

Innovations on the Dilated, Lootpack format

We freak the physic, break emcees on contact

Madlib don't lack, we'll be waitin' for that payback

Y'all better get hittin', your soul when I drop my compound on contact

All that played out shit will have you knocked out in the first round

Cuz too many frauds walkin' around


[Bridge: Rakaa]

If you're not making ends meet than it's not healthy

To be representin' like the wealthy

If you're not knowin' that my name is Rakaa

Dilated platform representin' with the LPs


[Verse 5: Evidence]

Yo, I take control grab the horse by the mane

I'm that New York type of driver on this L.A. terrain

Make it rain, when it pours we flood, cover your system

Intuitive, straight up, avoided you by instinct

You could take cover, dodge radar detection

But try to dodge weeded out by natural selection

It's finally here, the moment of the long awaited

We represent the West, Lootpack and Dilated


[Verse 6: Wildchild]

So, better back up cuz DJ Romes is gonna go off and

Bring in a Technics turntable style straight out of his coffin

I'll continue to pull out my menu of styles and bend you

In half and laugh on behalf of my whole Lootpack staff

Brothers be like "I wanna hear y'all ish", at least you've waited

First heard it here, negative criticism is mad appreciated

My direction takes course of a fraudulent, fake endorserer

Thinking he's a dope rhyme style enforcerer (to the world of hip hop)

If you don't support, you're amongst those who's gonna get dissed

And dismissed when we come back with 10 times the force of a


[Verse 7: Madlib]

Earthquake, we laugh in Cali wild so watch the earth shake

From the first take, we pop in your box, the Long Await

We rollin' like Jugganauts, plug in spots

Not talkin' bout runnin' Glocks preparing for incoming stocks

Yo it's the Pack with them Triple Optic kids

While we keep this art real, y'all worry 'bout y'all pocket lids


[Verse 8: Rakaa]

Hey yo, some are goin' Platinum, skills are still lackin'

I meditate and coach, action like Phil Jackson

Space invaders faded, undisputed Dilated

Highly anticipated, Lootpack, the long awaited


[Chorus]

The long awaited, most accommodated

Could never fade it cuz it's always hip hop related

Wack MCs, please, all y'all get annihilated

The LPs and the Peoples called the Dilated

Long Awaited

The long awaited, most accommodated

Could never fade it cuz it's always hip hop related

Wack MCs, please, all y'all get annihilated

The LPs and the Peoples called the Dilated

Long Awaited
