Father Of The Man |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| And everybody knows his name |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| But nobody know his pain |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| And everybody know his name |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| Deeds are fruits |
| Words are but leaves |
| It’s better to do well than to say well indeed |
| So if you come from the rock |
| Please don’t run from the rock |
| Keep your conscious clean and put the wave upon your back |
| A fool is filder leaves out the common stone |
| But every dart feels like a lion in his home |
| My destiny is in my own hands |
| Cause the child is the father of the man so |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| And everybody knows his name |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| But nobody know his pain |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| And everybody know his name |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| Ragga It’s been a minute man let’s go |
| I went from cavemen to slavemen |
| Church scream amen and then they lych men |
| Boy charter 911 before the world trade |
| I saw the world through Ray Charles shades |
| Tried to warn them they ain’t wanna listen |
| Nostradamus saw the bird’s now there’s two thing’s missing |
| Two sons sitting Hussein’s son sitting so calm they father Saddam hung in a |
| prison |
| I’ll be damned if a man put a tech in my hand have me in the sand shooting at |
| the ground man |
| Runner becomes the gunner and the gun will become the hunted the hunted become |
| the hunted on America’s most wanted |
| How does America’s most wanted get apprehended |
| When his man turns state on his co defendant |
| You need a lawyer let me talk for you |
| You in a wheelchair blood let me walk for you |
| I’m a leader |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| And everybody knows his name |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| But nobody know his pain |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| And everybody know his name |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| Yeah yeah yeah what if Martin Luther stayed in the room never step foot in the |
| balcony |
| What if they had a bullet proof car instead of a drop top for Kennedy |
| Malcolm did the speech congregation |
| So when them boys come get yo hands outta pocket |
| Five shots of the assassins Ragga |
| Ain’t nothing new under the sun |
| What if I had put blanks in Marvin Gaye’s firer’s gun |
| What if you all knew the truth before sending your kids to war |
| Told ya that man ain’t care about Iraq |
| He cared about the oil |
| When your thinking about how many records you gonna sell |
| I think about getting all my people out the cell |
| We put in work ya’ll ain’t revolutionary cause you gotta a Che Guevara T-shirt |
| It’s just a T-shirt |
| Ragga why you think I ran for president |
| I got 5 cribs and they said I got no residence |
| They tried to punk me but I was born with no fear |
| So I’m a run it like 10 years |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| And everybody knows his name |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| But nobody know his pain |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
| And everybody know his name |
| I’m the keeper of the flame |
