I steady the flow, ready to blow like snotty tissue They snitching like Donnie Brasco, I'm counting like Monte Cristo The ghetto full of betrayal like Iago and Othello Your fellow neighbor will slay you, they'll smoke you like cigarillos Police, want that info, they'll grill 'em like Portabellos I'm murdering instrumentals 'cause I rap with the conscience Of felons, k**ers and monsters, so revealing and honest We're still feeling the promise, some nights I k** 'em with kindness Hitting like Muhammad Ali, you more like Tatyana All this is probably Karma, you dishonored the father Whether it's God almighty, or the almighty dollar We follow the prophets like Islamics or the Dalai Lama Your bullet points so hollow they could probably pierce body armor Look in the scope, my people still a target Smile on my face, tears of a sad clown Feeling out of place as I whistle a cab down If I tip extra, can I huff a cig? Blow my smoke out the window Dropping ashes on the bridge Uh, I'm in New York now, like Akeem and Semi was Tryna get the lobby door open from a semi-buzz I just wanna go to the slum and throw my money On the floor like the Notorious B.U.M., uh Build a home, teach a cla**, start a revolution Free the mind, heal the body, talking evolution This that black Elohim Anunnaki rap That Farrakhan Hakeem Olajuwon Qaddafi rap I dedicate this to my n***as in New Orleans Rocking black and gold stocking caps And fleur-de-lis Shockey hats, I'm in the coat room Screaming "Who that?" On the double Serving gumbo with a shovel, dog, I'm on another level Me and Kweli come together like two pieces of metal
