    AFRIKAN HYPHEN AMERIKKKAN

    Bars

    It was the hyphen that killed me

    not the new afrikan or the amerikkkan

    my name is Shareef Allah

    illustrious god.

    Which is ironic because where I am going

    there is no luster nor a God

    in my human form I was an inmate

    at Pelican Bay maximum security prison

    in Del Norte county

    California

    275 acres of pure pergatory

    home of 3450 victims

    5 advocates for the devil and 2 antichrists

    lest I forget anyone forgive me

    but it is hard 2 concentrate with all this heat

    being produced by the bowels of the earth

    a small roll call 4 allies and enemies

    the aryan brotherhood

    la eme or mexican mafia

    nuestra familia

    the Texas syndnicate

    the rollin sets crip and blood

    black guerilla family

    nestas

    united blood nation

    folk nation

    people nation

    dc blacks

    dead man incorporated

    the vice lords

    gangster deciples

    ms 13

    not 2 mention the Dominicans

    Columbians

    Cubans

    Jamaicans

    and various men of lethal ability not affiliated with

    specific sets but possessing specific knowledge necessary 4 

    survival on the killing floor

    I went 2 college in Compton

    and achieved my doctorate in long beach

    dont believe that shit about Tupac

    he wasnt a gangsta

    but made a...lets say miscalculation

    and paid the price 4 actin like one

    thank God 4 Reagan and the sac town repubicans

    under his administration we went

    from Saturday night specials

    2 Sunday morning massacres

    he not only ignored the plight of aids patients

    but the plight of neglected communities 

    begging for any kind of aid

    its all good  though

    God bless the national rifle association

    and various well intended affiliates  

    4 blessing the sets with firepower

    rivaling the armed forces of this great country

     

    It was the hyphen that killed me

    not the new afrikan or the amerikkkan

    my name is Shareef Allah

    illustrious God

    which is ironic because where I am going

    there is no luster nor a God

    excuse any misspellings

    it is dark and hell is hot

    shout out 2 dmx

    I was in human form an inmate

    at angola state prison in louisiana

    wonderful locale for a prison I must say

    surrounded by 3 sides by the Mississippi river

    hell...catfish can kill a man in that muddy roller

    Angola

    the home of 5002 victims

    6 advocates for the devil

    and 3 antichrists

    oh..and a beautiful

    state of the art execution chamber

    please keep in mind when I use the word victim

    I dont mean no disrespect to those whom we have

    murdered

    mutilated

    raped or ratted out

    nah..see we are among the black population

    victims of the hyphen

    the netherworld that exists between afrikan ideology

    and amerikkkan ideals

    as a result we 

    hesitiate

    with no permanent affiliation based on being

    a hyphen decaf fiend nated people

    we long 4 brotherhood

    any form of brotherhood

    and will kill 2 remain in the brotherhood

    I dont expect you 2 truly understand

    its all good

    you dont have 2 worry about me anyway

    I am about 3 stones from the sun

    aka hell

    or is that the planet earth

    can't tell which is which sometimes

     

    It was the hyphen that killed me

    not the new afrikan or the amerikkkan

    my name is Shareef Allah

    illustrious God

    which is ironic because where I am going

    there is no luster nor a God

    I must give love 2 the systems of supermax

    that turned me from a fiend into an armed and dangerous

    human being

    they dont walk into an enemy camp 

    unless they temporarily forget..

    the street creed

    Big had street cred..in Brooklyn

    Big had street dead in Cali

    lions and tigers are both cats

    how they gonna take my homemades
