| I am calling out your name
|
| In the dark as the wind swept
|
| I think that we could inherit carats of gold
|
| That have not been found yet
|
| ‘Cuz you’re a testament to God
|
| Shaking the skies until there’s no thunder left
|
| Peep game though
|
| Keep all them griots outside of the poorhouse
|
| The lifeblood is flowing in lanes of the tour route
|
| I am calling out your name
|
| Know that I mean it
|
| I am calling to tell that this all is ours
|
| And if we make a plan, we can take
|
| All the lands and the dreams that they ever have stolen from us
|
| Then remake
|
| A new world in a self image that is true and robust
|
| I am calling out your name so just answer me
|
| I want your mind to be free
|
| Yeah, use what you thought was useless
|
| To try to make units
|
| Love a machine that will take you, take you, take you
|
| To the next place, the next stage
|
| I am in a phase in my life where I can teach and extend
|
| And try to reach to you and a bend a reason
|
| Turn all the emcees into
|
| Lottery doctors, proctors, philosophers
|
| Everybody over there trying to rock with me
|
| But you can’t really rock with the hip hoppers
|
| No can you
|
| No, you don’t really know the content of Plymouth Rock
|
| You can’t really understand hip hop
|
| Even if you really wanted to
|
| You can’t really squander what’s due
|
| When it comes from the old depot
|
| You can’t really be sold, you can’t really be sold
|
| You are an essence that is infinite, infinite
|
| These dark weather, baby
|
| From Sudan
|
| Came in a sedan, can you understand
|
| There is no rubber band that will take you back to the point of origin
|
| Like this
|
| A motive is at the helm, when I’m at the helm
|
| Can you understand what happens
|
| When I start rapping, tapping into unbelievable black skin
|
| Motherfuckin' griots into Manhattan
|
| When I start chanting, you know exactly when
|
| My black skin cracks you see
|
| (?) underneath that isn’t breathing the whole time
|
| You understand that I’m a chief
|
| I am calling out your name
|
| In the dark as the wind swept
|
| I think that we could inherit carats of gold
|
| That have not been found yet
|
| ‘Cuz you’re a testament to God
|
| Shaking the skies until there’s no thunder left
|
| Peep game though
|
| Keep all them griots outside of the poorhouse
|
| The lifeblood is flowing in lanes of the tour route
|
| I am calling out your name
|

| I want your mind to be free |
