Alright, alright, alright | |
Let's get one thing clear right now | |
Lot of emcees out here claiming that they got styles | |
And that they tight, huh | |
But I don't give a damn about none of them | |
Cause, see me | |
[Verse One] | |
See, I'm gon' be alright, live my life as long as I'm alive | |
I ride on five-eighty, but I'm not an eighty-fiver | |
Usually exit high enough to fly like Egyptian gliders | |
Bringing the message to the black man like Elijah | |
Honourable, did I mention, ain't no dissent amongst the strivers | |
No tension or fights, there just be lessons in life | |
I'm a subscriber to the Call that's Final | |
Fiend for the knowledge like my DJ fiends for vinyl | |
Hold the microphone like a habitual user, like winos | |
Clutch wine bottles, in my death grotto | |
Until my skin gets mottled, don't expect to get coddled | |
Cause see me, patna | |
I wasn't raised in no family that got up to pops reading stocks | |
It was more like he was down the block | |
At my uncles' rolling up chops, getting off knocks | |
Had the whole damn neighbourhood on lock | |
Back before the game was hard like rocks | |
Yet lightweight like glocks, and this shit don't stop | |
It's as frightening as the idea of a million black men | |
Marching on Washington might have been to some people | |
But then only if we're not equal | |
As shoulders get colder, individuals get older and bolder | |
I ain't buying what they sold ya, I'm a soldier | |
The Warriors first round number one pick like Joe Smith | |
Thought I told ya | |
I ain't average, I manage to move my mandible rapidly to scold ya | |
Got a powerful role as flamby as the average nigga's plan B | |
Ought to be running shit in '96 ala Marcus Camby | |
Can be, can he do it? All night until the early morning | |
Break of dawn light, I flow like fluid out your spigot | |
Rough and wicked when I kick it | |
[Hook] | |
Yes, righteous and I might just never even quit | |
Because it's only to the will of Allah that I submit | |
Righteous and I might just never ever quit | |
Because it's only to the will of Jah that I submit like that | |
[Verse Two] | |
The name's Lateef and if you've got beef | |
You'll get cut up by the butcher's cut, see | |
I'll sink my teeth into your neck like a mastiff | |
Fool, you're weak, I got five on your cheek | |
I'll crash the boards and glass, slam that ass as fast | |
As Shareef-Abdul Raheem, clean the glass | |
I'mma school that, degrees that keep the shitstem up | |
Victims for pickings, royal stickings, stick with poli-tricks | |
And politicians acting like they on a hell-bent mission | |
For the annihilation and decimation of the human nation | |
Brother, listen cause they're testing my faith | |
What I'm feeling is the wreckoning, the quickening | |
Expression of the manifestation of victory | |
Regardless of societies that sneak around in secrecy | |
You see ­ it gets deep, deep as history | |
Creeps like time since 4000 BC, it's not a mystery | |
Lord knows, revealed to my soul and it shows | |
I drop flows that'll rock past the 21st century | |
They trying to keep it real, but compared to what | |
When there ain't even no backing to their passing buck | |
When you shift from the material shit they get stuck | |
Trip, they gone slip, they're up the creek, in the clutch | |
All because they really just don't give a fuck | |
[Hook] | |
Yet I'm righteous and I might just never even quit | |
Because it's only to the will of Allah that I submit | |
Righteous and I might just never ever quit | |
Because it's only to the will of Jah that I submit like that |
