I'm a 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

Honorable, did I mention? No dissent among the strivers
No tension, the fights are just the 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
(Their)
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 neighborhood on lock

Back before the game was hard like rocks
Yet lightweight like glocks this **** 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 you, I'm a soldier

The warriors first round number one pick like Joe Smith
Thought I told you, I ain't average
I manage to move my mandible rapidly to scold you
Got a powerful role as flamby as the average *****s plan B

Outta be running **** in 96 ala Marcus Camby can be
Can he do it all night 'til the early morning break of dawn light?
I flow like fluid out ya ****ket, rough and wicked
When I kick it yet 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
