| In large U.S. cities
|
| Millions of people live a life of poverty in old rundown apartment dwellings
|
| The poor tenants trapped in these buildings
|
| Must put up with constant harassment by greedy landlords
|
| Who want to throw them out for higher rents
|
| These rich slum lords go to ruthless extremes to evict poor tenants
|
| And nothing seems to stop them
|
| When you can’t afford to move
|
| Even a rat infested tenement can be called home
|
| But when landlords turn off your heat, water, gas, and electricity
|
| To force you to move out
|
| There’s only one thing to do, fight!
|
| This is the story of such a struggle
|
| What if he sold a million records, will he sell out?
|
| Then the whole world will respect him
|
| Does he have doubts?
|
| What if he really never exists?
|
| What made 'em write that shit?
|
| On everybody’s top five
|
| Why he ain’t add to that list?
|
| I wish the whole could hear him
|
| Cuz he has the serum
|
| For the Hip-Hop body been infected wit venom
|
| Why do a lotta rappers bite off him?
|
| And say they were the first?
|
| When you ask Priest about it, he always just smirks
|
| What about the Heavy Mental verse?
|
| Why he so mysterious?
|
| He laughs on the outside but his mind is serious
|
| I can tell he knows more then he shows
|
| Street clothes, but his brain is a UFO
|
| Have you eva had a conversation wit 'em?
|
| It’s like listenin' to the instruction to a satellite space system
|
| Does he talk about racism or atheism?
|
| Or do he just hate religion
|
| He’s fly, then he looks like a bum then he’s fly again
|
| Wonder what’s his outcome?
|
| Well, soon all y’all will know
|
| And y’all be lucky if you touch me
|
| Science, Astrologists will discuss me
|
| And I’m only at hexagram .03
|
| And when I reach the Aquarian 9, the seven stars will align
|
| The six planets will combine and I will incline
|
| Wait till you see the lion covered in lamb
|
| Then y’all see my presence for I Am
|
| (Hook)
|
| And I don’t need none of that
|
| Cars, jewelry, clothes, girls, money
|
| No’I’mean, I don’t need none of that
|
| Mansion, a yard, a food, a job, sex
|
| I don’t need none of that
|
| Just rap, no’I’mean, just rap for me
|
| Cuz I don’t need none of that
|
| They say he’s just a family man but he’s always lookin' up
|
| I saw him six in the mornin' just stuck
|
| Starrin' up in the space
|
| Other times he’s quiet, normal calm face
|
| He likes to eat a lot, entree
|
| I saw him at the mall wit his sons
|
| I saw him at the movies havin' fun
|
| They say he stands on the roof starrin' at the sun
|
| For hours, all rappers he devour
|
| Every year for Buddha’s birthday he plants lotus flowers
|
| He talks to the trees but he don’t smoke weed
|
| He comes around after a long time, just leaves
|
| A beast on the mic, he teach about Christ
|
| He broke up wit the Israelites
|
| He don’t hang wit the Muslims, bounced outta Brooklyn
|
| But he speak Hebrew, he goes to the Mosque
|
| He raps BK, calls himself God
|
| How many times he have to prove he’s the nicest?
|
| How many times he said the word «Pharaoh»?
|
| How many times he had to write shit like this?
|
| Here’s y’all answer, as long as I have a voice
|
| Y’all will see ya voyage
|
| Either if I’m livin' or transcendin'
|
| My legend in y’all brains already been handwritten by God
|
