| Alright, okay
|
| Let’s get it situated
|
| I spit directly from the people that originated
|
| All of that shit you faking
|
| Think that imitation is amazing
|
| You need to fix your faces quickly 'for your spirit get eliminated
|
| I’ve been initiated, strictly by invitation
|
| To the order of the Samurai, so this is sacred
|
| Revealing by right, he’s heat but I’m light
|
| He feel it shine bright, deleting all hype
|
| I’m not shining, I’m growing
|
| Every rhyme is a poem
|
| You been already knowing, I been trying to told 'em
|
| Still grinding and groping, still prying it open
|
| Still divinely controlled and I honour the moment
|
| Been around the globe and always finding pieces of me
|
| Reason to breath as deep as the sea
|
| Pay the ticket price and speak it for free
|
| Lay my head on any bed and then eventually dream of the key
|
| I arrive clear, no dye here
|
| But the colors of the tears cried here might appear on my beard
|
| Uh, the dust I carry on me
|
| Is just a ceremony
|
| Because it bears the stories of the ones that came before me
|
| You witness the glory, the gifted oratory
|
| That I distribute as the richness of the poor and holy
|
| They thought the floor could hold me
|
| They thought the sky confined me
|
| They thought the prison of the earthly body might define me
|
| They thought because that God is out of sight, I follow blindly
|
| Anything outside of space and time cannot be timely
|
| Allow me, glad tidings to the strangers
|
| Ain’t concerned with being famous, or how many hits their page gets
|
| That are happy being nameless
|
| And absent from your papers
|
| And could never be swayed by someone clapping in their faces
|
| Hatred can’t degrade them
|
| Praise could never raise 'em
|
| Their glamor can’t be faded by no passing entertainment
|
| And that’s the generation where I catch my inspiration
|
| The manuscript they’re saving is the one I scratched my name in
|
| This is by love, to love, through love, true love
|
| Turn the lights down and turn the tune up
|
| I’m that ticket that get you higher than a mezzanine
|
| Nosebleed, meth amphetamine
|
| Protein, USDA grade: totally lean
|
| If you holding up the world, you know what I mean
|
| Promethazine fiend
|
| Watch women in lululemon
|
| Female geneticist: I study girls in jeans
|
| Violent with the double-entendres
|
| The weed-whacker that’ll strike the bong and hit ganja
|
| Then cut a rug before I drink Mary’s blood
|
| Regurgitate it, praise it, then raise the murder rate in the club
|
| Sociopath, I will slice the tat off a thug
|
| Then spit a slug in his mug and leave the hands of time with a nub
|
| Sick shit, with a torn meniscus
|
| Dikembe Mutombo ordering jumbo-
|
| Shrimp with a pimp
|
| In Red Lobster buttermilk biscuits
|
| I’m proud, young gifted
|
| Somewhere in between red and green, getting lifted
|
| I’m half of the planet when the Sun gets eclipsed
|
| Shit, I’m Steve Harvey at the African Day Parade
|
| Drinking Tanqueray with gators on
|
| Playing Spades with Issa Rae
|
| Black Jew screaming on New York avenues
|
| I’m blacker than black people’s desire for new shoes
|
| Fast, you couldn’t catch him if you was Mohamed Sanu
|
| In fact, I’m blacker than running numbers in sou-sous
|
| On a cruise with Patti LaBelle screaming church hymns and blues
|
| The fuck’s blacker than that?
|
| Came out the womb on Halloween
|
| With an affinity for thirteen and black cats
|
| Does it get any clearer?
|
| Walk barefoot under ladders in a house of broken mirrors
|
| Staring into what I am
|
| Space-time continuum
|
| At the minimum, math and helium gases slash
|
| Malware to make your hologram crash
|
| I totally get why you fear me
|
| 'Cause I’m what existed before the Big Bang theory |
