| I’m home
|
| Uh, yeah
|
| They always ask me, '
|
| Ali, what you so angry for man? |
| Why you always so upset? |
| '
|
| I tell 'em ' Shit, theres a thin line between anger and hunger my man
|
| And I ride a unicycle down the middle, you might catch me touchin' feet down on
|
| both sides '
|
| Ever since day number one, it’s just me and where I’m coming from
|
| Rites of Passage and Shadows on the Sun
|
| My people, I stand before you, As a man with more true shit
|
| Than he knows what to do with
|
| I give it all to you, long as you can promise me this
|
| When it’s time, you will ball up a fist (like this)
|
| Me and Anthony, we fill all the gaps in
|
| And are proud of what we make, regardless what happens
|
| Fuck rappin', I sing off key
|
| One thing you should never do is dis Ali
|
| Cause, motherfucker, there ain’t nothin' rougher
|
| Then tryin' to climb from the rug you get swept under
|
| I can run through every one of your blunders
|
| Mistake number one is that your crew don’t love ya
|
| I’ll take a bullet for the core of the Sayers
|
| When me and my dogs out tourin' the nation
|
| I spit with an intensity you have to witness
|
| Look close, my blood on the back of the tickets
|
| It’s that religious, it’s what I teach my son
|
| How to read the Qur’an and how a party is won
|
| We like ' Doctor, don’t get it mistaken
|
| We carve life out when we sit in the basement
|
| We self-taught, it’s as real as you make it
|
| Anyway you look at it this shit is amazing
|
| Doctor, don’t get it mistaken
|
| We carve life out when we sit in the basement
|
| We self-taught, it’s as real as you make it
|
| Anyway you look at it this shit is amazing'
|
| When line meets mine, we bend ya girl’s spine
|
| Figure-eight status, she got back for days
|
| The same old magic will not crack the maze
|
| The lights changed since we anted up, pot has been raised
|
| And I’m fucking with the hand I was dealt
|
| Live twenty-five years to experience what Lazarus felt
|
| If you drop three crumbs, I’ll eat one
|
| Feed one to the family, rest’ll get invested in my freedom
|
| I battle through carton of shit
|
| With a wrist, full of broken tooth picks, tryin' to carve out a niche
|
| You can either choose the heart or the fist, but you will connect with me
|
| If your path ever intersect with me
|
| The fire in the eye could never be held back, (it's the same)
|
| Pressure that made the liberty bell crack, (it's the same)
|
| Pressure that made my brother E sell crack, (in the name)
|
| Qur’an, holy, Rest in Peace
|
| My back is bein' watched by, the only one on high
|
| We stride in the party, hoods up, crossed eyes
|
| Broke as what, but don’t give a fuck
|
| Cause I feel I got the world by the nuts, Uhh!
|
| We like, «Doctor, don’t get it mistaken
|
| We carve life out when we sit in the basement
|
| We Self Taught, it’s as real as you make it
|
| Anyway you look at it this shit is amazing
|

|
| Homeboy understand, I ain’t mad at you
|
| There’s just very few things in life I know how to do
|
| And this is one of them right here
|
| And whatever comes up comes out
|
| We don’t put our hands on our mouths, I stand for what I’m about
|
| Unknown but I’m still a soldier
|
| Can’t let em go home till I win 'em over
|
| My youth was training, it’s very clear
|
| Every year, new city, new rules to play with (true shit)
|
| New kid in school, didn’t rule nothin'
|
| To this day I rap like I’m trying to prove something
|
| Little bit aggressive, when I spit a sentence
|
| Till you get the message
|
| You couldn’t pay me to quit professin'
|
| Rock sixty-one sold out shows, came home, and caught a bus to the
|
| Sixty-second
|
| Shirt sweated full of work ethic
|
| Been in love with the shit since I first met it
|
| Rhymesayers is the first to come, last to leave
|
| Ain’t no tricks up our sleeve, this is what we believe
|
| We like ' Doctor, don’t get it mistaken
|
| We carve life out when we sit in the basement
|
| We Self Taught, it’s as real as you make it
|
| Anyway you look at it this shit is amazing
