[Verse One] [Wafeek]: I can feel that Saint City misery n***as can come and visit me with two AK's Aim straight baby, deliver me from evil Bullets baptize my cerebral Flat line, livin' like I'm dreamin' for the last time, this is for my people Gotta keep reppin' Till the day that Pangea is bigger than The Beatles Gotta be legendary, give 'em what they need yo Hero need a villain a vision of Heath Ledger Off a sedative pill, will 'Feek's medicine k** The beast never, live forever I'm ill It's deep, planted in my melanin still A Baby Faced Nelson with a veteran sk** That keep standin' for real Live wire, like Heaven and Hell Like sentencing the Devil to jail Heat fanning the flame Heat seeking and burnin' your brain n***as thinkin' with they dick until they ? I study the book of life, the Earth turnin' the pages On the surface I exist within the words in the pages But my birth was just a myth to keep the serpent in cages I did y'all a favor, gave purpose to cave men I did dirt n***a, to crooks and made men Holy ghost till you're feelin' spiritual, amen Now we gettin' biblical That ain't what my n***as like They shallow as the kitchen sink [Hook]: But really I'm feelin' like the first black president Barack the heaven sent Obama got a code of honor to represent I'm back with a d**h wish I'm feelin' like I'm the last one left kid I'm feelin' like I'm the last one left kid I'm feelin' like I'm the last one left kid I'm feelin' like I'm the last one left kid I'm feelin' like I'm the last one left kid [Verse Two] [Tef Poe]: I'm feelin' like an African witchdoctor, ? Genocide and I never seen past the village On top of the arch, feel it in my poise Overlookin' the bridge to see Illinois Maneuver the wrong way, I might fall off Black crow on my shoulder, grenade in my hand Victory is mine, celebrate in advance Must succeed, I gotta grind uphill While y'all people asleep, I climbed up here People gathered below think I'm outta my mind I reply, "I'm just tryin' to talk to God" At that moment, the Mississippi River came alive Not a mouth, but two casino boats were it's eyes He said, he been patiently waitin' for me to die And white people taught him how to devour my kind The fear of all fears, summit to myself Then the river started howlin', growlin' in filth The stench of dead slaves was hummin' on his breath And the rain cloud said, "I'mma plummet to my d**h." So the voices utter, "Yo, what is he doin' now? Get his spouse or mother, this is a suicide." Helicopters hover, disturbed in the wind Turbulence hit me and I'm nervous again Helicopters start talkin' and this is what he said "If that n***a act 'bout it, shoot him in his head Let his body give in and chop off his legs." Face level with the sun, I noticed a few tears Couldn't shine cause the city hadn't seen him in years He said, this metal structure block most of his rays So behind some dark clouds spent most of his days Felt like an old man, positioned in the sky Said he seen guns blaze and plenty n***as die Man sent rockets to the moon to defeat him Henceforth, there ain't nothin' new underneath him So the sun would cry then the arch came alive And as the wind blowed, he swayed to the side He said it's hard being tall, not many places to hide He was the tombstone where my ancestors died Yet he wasn't erected when most of 'em died Trademark to the city, symbolic to the peace But him and the Martin Luther King Bridge got beef Rape victims holler, blunt smoke raisin' Gunshots from east St. Louis don't phase him Had cousin's in New York and both of them was twins An airplane crash put their life to an end He came alive, only for they revenge He said it ain't personal, you know what it is Middle finger in the sky, nobody savin' him Maybe I could jump off and land in Bush Stadium Dressed for the occasion, suited in all black The Erward Jones Dome said, "Arch fall back." He was like, "Nah my n***a, we gon' ride Let's start a revolution, us against the Pentagon Let's go to Washington, D.C. and we can get it on." I replied, "Yeah, put my life on it now." The cracker that k**ed his cousin is livin' in the White House [Hook]: And I'm feelin' like the first black president Barack the heaven sent Obama got a code of honor to represent I'm back with a d**h wish I'm feelin' like I'm the last one left kid I'm feelin' like I'm the last one left kid I'm feelin' like I'm the last one left kid I'm feelin' like I'm the last one left kid
