Lyrics
Thank you
Thank you all
I appreciate it
Thank you
Spit venomous scriptures behind these podiums
Nobody's cold as him, he sings the coldest hymns
Let go your sins, the devil has no limits
His business, got all my soldiers slim
Behold the grim, reaper who sinks his teeth in the souls of men
Young niggas out of pocket like Malcolm X at the Audubon
They take a pound of flesh when the slaughter's on
Meetings at the mosque, be prepared to die when the war is on
Trust me, you are blessed if you hear the cry when your daughter's born
Shotguns and shell casings, blood soaks in the wood of the floor
Would you do more if you finally knew that your hell's waiting
Or in front of heaven's gates with a juicy steak tailgating
Your sanity is fantasy
I'm in tune with the anarchy, the chaos got him panicky
I'm best friends with calamity, the prison's in your mind
And they locked you in with no amnesty
Why look to a celebrity to lift you up with integrity
Puppets without sincerity, you can never fathom the levity
There's no way you can measure me, my energy, blood of kings, my ancestry
I give you these jewels and pray that you treasure me
Verses by Frankie Beverly, these melodies
Got me thinking my people happy with crumbs
But it's worthless to thank your enemies
They use pawns to pander, puppet masters who lust disaster
Movie stars till you vote for him, tell me, why would you trust an actor
Rap stars and ballplayers, pop singers and famous folks
Selling you pain and hope, they ain't drop the noose, they just change the rope
Different time, same approach
Don't look down at me for selling cocaine and dope
The blood's on the wall, just look for the stains to soak
I've given y'all enough of me
Get your hand out of my pocket
My brother please, brother please
No, no, no
