Tensions Lyrics by Helms Deep

In Defense of the Dark Art

2013

[Ad-Libs:]
Yo! Doc Mcfly, Helms Deep
Let’s grit through this tension, Grit through it!

[Verse 1: Helms Deep]
Look up at the skies to create edelweiss
But blazin’ dice keep me away from paradise
Causing tensions through my thighs like I’ll never leave this state
If Jay box lefty this the heavy-weight, the champion
Lyrical Tycoon—Life’s a rollercoaster
Living in the slew
I’m trying to make something better out the situation fused
To pay dues, and rap meteorologically
But most rappers now-a-days lack logic, G
I ain’t saying it lightly
Your candy cone sprinkles, leave my face asphyxion
It’s sickening, you talk of style like it’s a material fashion
Instead of digging through the humble records
And the passion
I leave you gasping like the tip of a blunt
Iceberg-Style, Cold and underwater ‘til next month

[Hook: Helms Deep]
The Tension creates us
You cannot mistake us—
First to respond, but they calling us scapegoats
From N.W.A. to Nas to Pac to Jay—
Hip-hop criminals just trying to make change! (Repeat X2)

Now let my song play…

[Verse 2: Helms Deep]

So when you ask me ‘What do I See’?
A bunch of 9-7-5 wannabee’s
Disrepecting Cream, and the Wu-Tang Killa B’s
So I’m a fly this plane kamikaze
Flaunt my game, then philosophize Socrates
As Doc’s dropping beats, they dropping bombs overseas—
While soccer moms sell weed for groceries
Yeah, See we inflated, obese, and dangerous
The bubbles gonna pop and we can only blame us
Contagiously Reserving, as the world keeps turning
In my car swerving, off the doctor prescribed—
I’ll never buy-in, cause there’s alternative drives
Select the C-Slot cause my disc ain’t floppy
And if I’m in your dope spot, you better just Rock me!

[Hook: Helms Deep]
The Tension creates us
You cannot mistake us—
First to respond, but they calling us scapegoats
From N.W.A. to Nas to Pac to Jay—
Hip-hop criminals just trying to make change! (Repeat X2)

Now let my song play…

[Verse 3: Helms Deep]

Walking down the streets and I can’t even speak—
Been dissing the same community that has raised me
So I optimize and think high
The Tensions suspending is helping us to survive
And think of better times
Hip-hop’s state was broken off of poverty
Been blocked by the media and displaced lethargically
A million views on youtube, don’t mean that ya ruthless
It just means a million people are just too stupid
To realize: there’s real lies, and real lives
By the dis-culturalization of moral reflection
Hol’ up, I ain’t talking Kendrick’s Section
Helms Deep, 90’s babies trying to grit through the Tension

[Hook: Helms Deep]
The Tension creates us
You cannot mistake us—
First to respond, but they calling us scapegoats
From N.W.A. to Nas to Pac to Jay—
Hip-hop criminals just trying to make change! (Repeat X2)

Now let my song play…

I hope now you understand what I’m saying
Revolution or die
