We're making a concept album
Where the songs all have drums
Words make sense when the raps come
We ran with some good cats with bad luck that sold crack once
Packed guns in their backpack like sack lunch
Cassettes bumping dolomite and Malcolm the original man
Farrakhan called me imam and I kissed him on his hand
Give a damn if a critic on instagram can understand
If you didn't witness the million man then stuck to riverdance
Been taking names kickin' ass breaking chains skippin' class
Bottom line I was this advanced when you were pissing pants
Come here a minute
I been here since it was still danger and fear up in it
If you're insincere you would never feel secure up in it
Clear intention is to honor how my heroes did it
Not mirror image I'm their descendant
Spirit clear and present my skin iridescent
Rocking kufis in a booth at juneteenth looked weird I'm guessing
You would you care to tell us why you would dare to embellish
In the 90's 19 with my queen they're very jealous
We thought being fly was eating Chinese in perry ellis
Cloth napkin nankin at city center
And then it's higher learning at the skyway
Splurging on a blue and white cab ride
Instead of a number 5 today sa da te
Might I say I live several lives a day
Lot of people grind and save their lives away to find a way
I ain't papered I'm just sayin' I've been highly favored mighty grateful
I'd be thankful if I died today and all of y'all forgot my name
Not a single scar or scrape that I would change
But when they read that book of deeds on the final day
Nothing more to say
My teachers call me Ali
Yasiin call me habeeb
Babies call me baba
And my wifey call me papi
Ant call me Ali's ass
My older family passed
If they were here I guess they would probably recall me as
Racing Jason with a big wheel on vacation
Tryna locate a boom box to pop my tape in
My eyesight ain't great but I stay focused on this greatness
I don't know what else you want
Just make sure you list me in that lexicon
