Universal Soldier |
This is the gallant crew that rolled the big super fort |
Which carried the first atomic bomb to Japan |
Piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbets Jr. of Miami |
Carrying Navy Captain William Parsons of Chicago |
Who helped design the bomb, as observer |
And Major Thomas Ferebee of Mocksville, North Carolina |
Who pulled the plug on Hiroshima |
The B-29 dropped its load of atomic death |
Which exploded with a force equal to 20,000 tons of TNT |
Bismillah (Bismillah) |
Bismillah (Bismillah) |
(A'oodhu Billaahi) A’oodhu Billaahi min al-Shaytaan ir-rajeem |
Bismillah (Bismillah) |
Ashadu an lâ ilâha illa-llâhWa |
Ashadu anna Muhammad rasûl allâh |
The son of slaves, true, I started out as a peasant (Uh-uh) |
That’s why I build my temple like Solomon in the desert (Uh-uh) |
The Lord is my rock, I speed dial through salat |
My trials in the fiery crucible made me hot |
I glow like embers of coal, born with a touch of gold |
My mathematical theology of rhymin' a touch the soul |
I spent many nights bent off Woodford |
Clutchin' the bowl, stuffin' my nose |
Some of the cons, I suffered for prose |
My poetry’s livin' like the God that I fall back on |
And all praises due to Allah for such a illustrious platform |
The teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s my backbone |
When I spit, the children on the mothership bow on a platform |
The true history of Jesus comin' to age |
I wore a ski mask and glove to the masquerade |
Uh, I got the Roc on my shoulder (It's the Roc) |
Somebody should’ve told you, I’m a motherfuckin' universal soldier |
Back when Emory Jones was catchin' the fed' charge |
I knew less about Chessimar |
All about Pablo Escobar |
Thinkin' I was the last one Allah would lay his blessings on |
I was trying not to end up like Tony in the restaurant |
Now I’m the general of the geechie army |
What don’t kill us make us stronger, that’s Nietzsche on me |
Hot boy like I’m B.G., that Fiji on me |
We done ducked them fed' charges, now we eatin' confit |
Le fric, c’est chic |
That guilt trip ain’t gon' work, don’t put your luggage on we |
You ain’t keep the same energy for the du Pont’s and Carnegie’s |
We was in your cotton fields, now we sittin' on Bs, on me |
Save my soul |
Save me from myself |
Save my soul |
