Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dark matter with the sparks scattered up above
Velvet hands in the upper glove touch
Like bad double dutch and two Amsterdam's ain't enough
(Drugs)
"Don't ruin us," God said, drogas
Too much pride, we electric slide
We should be closer, like soda
Not a chain, but a choker
[Verse 2]
I see the sun, then the clouds, then the vultures
Pay respects to my sensei's sculpture
High as the angel on Dikembe's shoulder
Eyes lookin' like MK Ultra
Redacted vision through these dark shades
Bad dreams through the screens of an arcade
Hangin' on the joy like the residues of heartbreak
Park full of art, arteries full of parkay
Beating it, like new games, easily defeating
Or two gangs meeting for the evening
Or two feet on a Riesling, slow wind
Meditate until there's no mind
Decorate me with shine till I go blind
BDSM, dominated it with no bind
Safe word is, "Don't stop"
Both or don't go no times
[Verse 3]
Proceed to the next level
(T.R.O.N.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Proceed to the next level
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(T.R.O.N.)
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
Coolest tulips
Flowers fall from the towers
Like balls from Galileo to lay low
Ignorance is that the world isn't ours, the gall
Give them all showers, Tony found the fountain of youth
In the mountain of powder
To only find truth in the fountain
Drowning in power
Surrounded by dollars
The moons surrounds us like spoons moving chowder
Cut, that's a misdirect
To stir the soul with dis-effect
Names don't last like Mr. X, unless you Galilee
Droppin' bowling balls on the discotheque
With a disco ball hangin' 'round your neck
Dance
It's a new year
Every time I open my hands
Thoughts movin' circles and the thoughts universal
Yokozuna's throwin' salt in a circle
Sumo you up off your turf, boy
Tsunami, you up off your surfboard
Midas turn Medusa into gold
Before Versace turned words into turquoise
Medusa turned coke into stone
With a hand on her thigh, she looked me in the eye and said
[Verse 5]
Proceed to the next level
(Come so far, seen so much)
I can never settle for good enough (T.R.O.N.)
So I'll sweat, and I'll climb (Proceed to the next level)
Until I reach my prime
The forces rise and fall again
Through it all, I'll reach the end
In my eyes, there's a fire (Proceed to the next level)
And it takes me high
[Verse 6]
Oh
Yeah, Soul-o
Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll be amongst the stars
(Space)
Backstroke in my pool of thought, but don't mind the sharks
(Wavy)
Ab-Soul-ar system
Intergalactic soldier
Lupe say I'm a stoner
I said that I'm much bolder
Trapped in a game where the trap is the game, yeah
Scope this horror, aquariuses make it rain here
No love for your honor
Only God can judge us
If you're Islamic, Allah (God)
I've had it up to my collar with these **** castin' stones
Like this Mancala
[Verse 7]
Proceed to the next level
Dig that with a platinum shovel
Black magic (Black magic)
Matter of fact, if matter is fact
A matter factory is in the makin', perhaps
Uh, erase your database
We race against time, no time to set a date
Tetsuo and youth-induced
Too cool for school, unloose the noose and
[Verse 8]
Proceed to the next level

[Verse 9]
We're goin' up
We're goin' up
Next level, next floor
I'm ready for it
I've been waitin' all my life
(T.R.O.N.)
(T.R.O.N.)
We're goin' up
We're goin' up
Next level, next floor
I'm ready for it
I've been waitin' all my life
(T.R.O.N.)
