Artist Discography

Chrome:
An influence to be influential and I've got potential to send you down
Covetous of my expansion with my pencil and the wallpaper its filled
From the floor to the ceiling revealing the right type of hype
From the left to the right you cannot have vibes without the [scratch] 
That true experimentations inventions and dimensions I collaborate
The verbal in the studio to the vibe you love on the stage
Colliding to bring the buzz and dizziness 
Cos there ain't no business like show business
Deliverance at a show is important
To maintain a positive attitude and keep my mind focussed
Egotistical thoughts helps my approach to be the dopest
And I hope its keeping the audience entertained
I've claimed the spotlight and for this moment in time its mine
Gimmicks we have none lyrics we have gone
Around the suns atmosphere like a layer of gas
A chromosphere
Or should I say chroamacity plus say equality 
Of colour and equality of my other brother
The anthropologist studying the structure
Of evolution evolving and solving the mind in a solution 
And for the study of archaeology r-key is producing
Digging through the music's history to reassure ourselves
Will we remain in the history of the human race or yo
You can always count on me I've got potential
Just influence just to be influential

Chrome / Anthropologist:
I am climbing up to the spiritual reservoir
Can I fly you will rely, hmm, I admire
Your aim to reach out to the truth, you lie
Here's the proof, I fry 
To heat up part of the group 
I stoop, there through the doorway 
Of the open house, pain 
And search for the difference some of them might say well
You'll be hearing it now 
You're uneasy as you be wiping the sweat from your brow
Your nervous system has been dissected
Revealed and reassembled I am but you look frightened when you tremble
But we both interacted like we were brothers
My deepest fears or my deepest joys became uncovered
The music really speaks more than any of us can say
Yes today I was grey but today I want to play 
And go out in streets and shout words over beats 
And reach distant heights and amazing feats
But we did not have to move on the jiggling circuit
These sounds are rougher that's the way that we want to work it
But we think of something that show emotion and expression
From these southern roots yeah we learn a different lesson 

Anthropologist:
So put on your flak jacket while I ricochet from the walls
When I falls I don't bounce but have more than an ounce
Of shit inside of me I'm not letting the bad vibe be settled inside of thee
Cos bad seeds bring bad crops
And I thought I could swing from treetops
I tell the first prehensile tale logic chopping reshuffle
He tells me lies we scuffle drop to the ground we ruffle 
Our feathers ever edging closer to the cliff side
I wanna slip and hang-glide
He loses his footing left hanging by a blade of grass
Harass, which is attached to the rest of my last 
2 ounce do I trounce or do I wave goodbye to my last high
Or pull him up and finish him off on the hillside
He screams don't let me drop pleading I feels compassion
I need him but really I finished my last ration
Leave him splashing against the rocks with the flowing of the tide
Lighthouse keeper spots so I squats low to the landscape
I traipse for hours
For I still hear his screeches like banshees
Then I'm setting up the beacons on the beaches
So I jump in and out of the shadows 
Search party pulling out bows and arrows
Chance of escape narrow
Do I parry through the troops outer rim
Privates attention slacks am I ambushing him
Well I've gotta quietly step up and slit his throat
Now I move on silently to the boat
Yes I move on silently to the boat
