	I believe that music, and hip hop in particular, is infinitely more powerful than people think. Rappers claim to know the power of words, but so many times we use that power irresponsibly. The words we speak can contain life, or they can disseminate death. They can be used to heal, enlighten, connect and build, or they can be used to manipulate, malign and destroy. Understanding that I can use my words, my thoughts, and my rhymes to help make true freedom a reality in my life and in the lives of other people is my "ulterior motive" and also the idea behind i.r.o.C.

	Story Behind the Song This joint originated as a freestyle, and I just kept adding to it when I started to write the song. i.r.o.C, instead of being a declaration of how dope I am, is an acronym. See if you can decipher it from the lyrics! peace--rahlo Lyrics i.r.o.C written by rahlo I grab the microphone/flip it on/then I roc I split hair,DNA and chromosomes when I roc I'm building on the chief cornerstone when I roc so, yo everything I drop is reminiscent of the rock heads all around claim it's hot when I roc cause I'm leaving all I got in the spot when I roc cats on the block wanna cop what i roc it's the pure, uncut, nonstop--that's what I drop from the capitals to the boondocks I rocked in Johannesburg with the boomshock I rocked down in Capetown--they clapped a lot when I rocked and in London Thin-king got in on lock--yo we rocked It's mad dark--I turn the light on when I roc Illumination coming through my microphone when I roc not content to leave well enough alone when I roc I'm spitting lyrics that could melt the hardest stone when i roc wackness splits like amoebas when I roc au natural--no cheeba when I roc I play the quarterback--you're the wide receiver when I roc heads become fanatical believers when I roc because their sensory perceptions inundated when I roc but universal law is never violated when I roc my neural pathways are dilated when I roc devils hate it when I roc--devastated when I roc Chorus: When I spit rhymes, I create to elevate With that pure breed of love that makes the world rotate navigate through the valley of death/I meditate what I communicate can make your ears hyperventilate yo when I write rhymes, I create to demonstrate that it’s all pure love that makes the world rotate navigate through the valley of death/I meditate then communicate to make your whole soul salivate You get meticulously formulated flows when I roc at ridiculously animated shows--I roc conspicuously calculated blows when I drop my continuously calibrated prose I chose to let peace be the vibe headlining when I roc universal law I'm subtly defining when I roc those who forgot, I'm reminding when I roc so that faces in the audience be shining when I roc see, heads with no knowledge get destroyed when i roc ill communication tactics get deployed when I roc I render your defenses null and void when I roc I make the picture clear like Polaroid when I roc milk the kick and the snare for all its worth when I roc my cipher encapsulates the earth when I roc lyrics penetrate the hard dirt when I roc cultivate to make it fit for rebirth when I roc exhibit mic control with soul when I roc repossessing everything the devil stole when I roc my tongue is more valuable than gold when I roc unfold the whole dead sea scroll when I roc kick a freestyle or a written verse when I roc like Derek Jeter when I'm hitting first--I roc vibe yo, without getting cursed when I roc it's the pure milk like you was getting nursed when I roc Chorus: When I spit rhymes, I create to elevate With that pure breed of love that makes the world rotate navigate through the valley of death/I meditate what I communicate can make your ears hyperventilate cause when I write rhymes, I create to demonstrate that it’s all pure breed of love that makes the world rotate navigate through the valley of death/I meditate then communicate to make your whole soul salivate
