I’mma be alright / live my life as long as I’m alive / I ride on
Five eighty but I’m not an eighty fiver / usually exit High / enough to
Fly like Egyptian gliders / bringing the message to the Black man like
Elijah / Honorable did I mention? / No dissent among the strivers / no
Tension / the fights are just the lessons / in life / I’m a subscriber to
The Call / that’s final / fiend for the knowledge / like my DJ feinds for
Vinyl / hold the microphone like a habitual user / like winos clutch wine
Bottles in my (their) death grotto / until my skin gets mottled / don’t
Expect to get coddled / cuz see me patna / I wasn’t raised in no family
That got up to pops reading stocks / it was more like he was down the block
At my uncles’ / rollin’ up chops, gettin’ off knocks, / had the whole damn
Neigborhood on lock, / back before the game was hard, like rocks, yet
Lightweight like glocks / this shit don’t stop / it’s as frightening as the
Idea of a Million / Black men marching on Washington / might have been to
Some people / but then only if we’re not equal as / shoulders get colder,
Individuals get older and bolder / I aint buyin’ what they sold ya I’m a
Soldier / the Warriors first round number one pick like Joe Smith / thought
I told ya I aint average / I manage to move my mandible rapidly to scold ya
/ got a powerfull rol(e)l as flamby as the average niggas plan B / outta be
Runnin shit in 96 ala Marcus Camby can be can he do it? / all night / ’til
The early morning breakadawn light / I flow like fluid out ya spicket,
Rough and wicked when I kick it yet / Righteous / and I might just never
Even quit / because it’s only to the will of Allah that I submit /
Righteous / and I might just never ever quit / because it’s only to the
Will of Jah that I submit like that…
