[Intro]
This here's a message, for the young, the old
The tired, the weary
The pretentious, those that need a lesson
For those who fear me
Ladies and gentlemen the time is now the future is near
The light is bright, the Prophet is here!
[Verse]
I'm sitting in a house of gold with a single gla** door
Atop a mountain island with an engine at its core
Built from the ground up to reflect my inner sanity
Finally got the people to start questioning my vanity
Abhor the moors that form the shores of what is soon to be in store
Don't be a bore
For those that would like to glimpse my castle of business
Can be witness to the glimmering shimmer from a distance but...
The human nature is greedy, and right now I
Got seven billion of 'em trying to deceive me
So I got wicked twisters and twisted figures for you Sweetie
In this place no one can hear your cries of release me
I know the captivity...
Brave fools, see the island and they eyeing my riches
I got a word of warning for those ransacking...
It reads, snitches suffer under the mangled hands of witches
And all trespa**ers get cut, with a knife, in the hands of my famed magician
Never told a secret because your boy is magic, it's tragic
[Hook x2]
Don't be lazy, this is a time for action
I'm declaring war and it's time you picked a faction
It's the real vs. the fake, my world against yours
And I'll watch it all unfold looking through my gla** door
[Verse]
Let's start a revolution, to which the music industry will have no solution
I'm talking riots, with gats and bats, until what's left
In the street are the cats and rats, the meaning's coded like
Morse so tap, tap, tiggity tap that, I'll ride
On the shoulders of soldiers for the cause of real rap
And I mean that
I've risen an island from the Midwestern Atlantic
It's even closer now with a mad man with a plan and his castle is grand
Known for waving wands with his tongue not his hands
Heard Hip-Hop was dead I said that that would be the saddest lie
Because I watched it rise fire phoenix from the ashes
Mounted between burning wings, said take me where the cash is
Raining a flaming coast to coast message that said
This is an uprising of the dissatisfied
That shore of lore forms the testing edges of my border the
Close minded won't make it
But for the wise the other side holds an Eden to explore
So prepare for when my world meets yours
Cuz then the action gets exciting like Roman blood sport
Came a long way from speaking nonsense
To being hailed as a Prophet
[Hook x2]
[Outro]
When the tide rolls in, and the dust has settled
The failed will have fallen, and those with mettle
Will stand on the peaks of mountains, the strength of youth having
Tested time sans fountains
