Things You Can Do Lyrics

Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done

Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do

3030, way past the millennium, check it out
Yo, Deltron thunder force, ain't no other source of sunlight
Two ton mic, leave you tongue-tied
Runnin' amuck with technology with no apology
Shoutin' out to my colony with third eye physiology
Millennium past apocalypse is all I spit
Make you swallow it, your weak style, I'll abolish it
With nuclear rockets, they glued to your optics with sci-fi
Unsettlin', man and metal blends
Underground chillin' with the Mole Man and his whole fam
Inhibit bacterial growth, material wrote
Impenetrable, incontestable, indigestible intelligence
Never let a computer tell me shit
It's rapid innovation, penetratin' artificial life forms who bite songs
I'm a buy a vest, lie is next, then I'll flip the bio-techs
Right into the wireless, your third eye is hit with psoriasis
The mightiest, Deltron Zero
Traverse and purge the travesties that tempt your earholds
The area of distribution lifts the clueless
My flow is like liquid oxygen
Rip it often with specific impulse, increasin' thrust
Grease the cuts, unleash a cluster of thoughts I muster
I talk to touch ya and rupture commercial communications
Convert solar energy into imagery in the mind's eye
Blindside the contagious with radioactive isotopes to decay them
Atomic mass they small as fragments, I magnetize the avid lies
My radiation shields reflects, rejects Decepticons
Who take the truth and stretch it long, while I bless a song
Next level incredible, metal melding, flexibility
And my engine is never failing

Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done

Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do

All your rhyme histories combined couldn't violate
The Prime Optimus operative
Use my hydrometer to see how warm you are
Watch me form a star, hydrogen turned to helium when I shine
Ridin' 'em, revealin' 'em, leadin' 'em, to the vacuum
Interact with tunes in my digital citadel
Critical pivotal with the mental shit on you
Spit infinity, hidden energies too dope for our planet
Star spannin', slammin' hymns with mechanical limbs
Scanning your lens with cosmic rays
You'll all get played, your brain's inferior
I hit the lateral and posterior, my science is eerier
Ionic bonding for your moronic pondering, meet the armorines
My micro machines, might throw your team, into paralysis
They not talented, just a malady, worry 'bout a salary, creative casualty
Couldn't defrag my power density intensity
Nonequivalence, nine hundred Newtons
Crush you like croutons, you plus Houston
Hiero's like dipoles inside a silo, turbulence ten-fold, never simple
Defies accepted methods development most unique
Paralyze central nervous when you close to me
Interstellar void fills with color, appears to bubble
And split into four like amoeba
Inhabitin' planets with grandiose boast and coast like Silver Surfer
Feel the purpoise, high velocity, verbal atrocities
Fire resistance, better hire assistants
My pistons glisten ultra, high performance
Inside your private quarters where I fry your components

Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done

Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do, some can't be done
Things you can do

Lyrics provided by LyricsEver.com
Deltron 3030 is composed of a trinity of alt-rap all-stars: Master lyricist Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, virtuoso turntablist DJ Kid Koala, and superproducer Dan the Automator.

With Del aka Deltron Zero on vocals, Dan the Automator aka The Cantankerous Captain Aptos on production, and Kid Koala aka Skiznoid the Boy Wonder on turntables, this album takes the listener on a paranoid journey set in a dystopian year 3030 dealing with viruses, the apocalypse, an oppressive government, and a war waged against a huge company called the Corporate Bank of Time that rules the universe, all to the well-crafted and consistent musical backing of the Automator. Appearances by Damon Albarn, (Gorillaz, Blur), Prince Paul, Peanut Butter Wolf, DJ Money Mark, Paul Barman, Mark Bell, (Bjork, production), Sean Lennon, and Mr. Lif, complement Del's vocal style and add the right amount of flavor to this classic period piece.

Individually, they stand at the top of their respective musical disciplines; together, on the eponymous Deltron 3030, they warped space, bent time, transcended genre and blew minds, creating an album that still stands today as one of the most important records in the annals of underground hip-hop. Critics called it a masterpiece — both timely and avant-garde: "Exactly what you might expect from such a teaming: a wildly imaginative, unabashedly geeky concept album," said AllMusic.com. "It’s not only one of the best albums in either of their catalogs, but one of the best to come out of the new underground, period." Pitchfork called Nakamura the "poet laureate of creepy, oppressive beats," describing the album as an "exciting" reimagining of "the future from the bottom up" that reveals Del as a "surprisingly acute social critic." Now, over a decade later, they’re finally releasing the long-awaited followup to their debut — an album titled Event II.

"This record took 13 years, and the whole time fans are telling us we better come out with Deltron right now — quit teasing me," says Del. "Well, this is beyond a regular album. Because I would say, me, Dan and Koala, we aren't limited by what other rap groups do - we're musicians first. I studied music theory for ten years. Dan and Koala been learning music since they were kids. We're bringing it all together here, everything, and the fans, the critics, they all going to be surprised by what we got. You'll see. When it comes out, if you got the money, you’re going to wanna go buy it."

Or, as Nakamura puts it: "There isn’t another record that’s like this — it’s different from anything else I’ve done and anything else that’s out there. This is going to sound incredibly pompous, but to me, this is the greatest rap record of all time." Read more on Last.fm.
