So I was sitting in the Lab, with a pen and a pad
Mind racing to the stars with no fear of the crash
Reflecting on the past, concept is the future
Hip Hop, the Reformation bringing light like
I’m Luther, step into the light, that’s when the masses
Will shoot ya, my time is right now, aint no “un momento”
Its mental, but people always wanna get physical
Tryin to cut your own family, and its umbilical, unconceivable
Unreadable, lyrics are feastible, we want that soul food,
But the plate is so minuscule, demons now fasting,
Losing some weight, gettin the stuff back into shape,
man I’m done eating the cake
But my word is it for me, even after I die
When they bury me a G, my eyes will look to the sky
Only heaven up above the music kept me alive
Yeah, the music kept me alive
Lost tribe of shabazz,
I’m tryin to find myself through the old rhymes
Sadat X, Common, since 1999, Eyes open in the dark but you’re still blind
So now I’m here to spread truth, while the light is lime
I AM Da Prophecy, a black kid philosophically Socrates
Spittin flame like the burning bush
Big Brother still watching, man I’m tired of your looks
Though I’m never shook
I went to College, stole your knowledge, I’m a product
Street scholar, know the work, Money Power Green Dolla
Nothing, its no substance, its like dancing with the devil to the sound of Donald Trumpet
Losing yourself, going nutty like the Klumps
And professing your wealth, when you’re fueled by corruption
Now let me take you to eat, mental consumption, food for your soul
Lets get your blood pumping’
Vibe with me
I’m bout mad elevation, for the nation
No going back up, pay forward with creation
The music, coming straight from the soul
I free up outer dimensions, cracking DaVinci codes
Its metaphoric, contorted, imma get a little historic
Retrograded in the system
I step inside my Delorean
We orient to pay attention to the signs that
Black Lives Matter when its only televised
When its only televised
