there are six things the lord hates..no seven
haughtiness
lying
murdering
plotting evil
eagerness to do wrong
a false witness
showing discord among your brothers
proverbs 6 verses 16 to 19
im so blunt they call me phillys finest
this spyt is brought to you with the express
written consent of dgreaves aka your highness
i stop clocks when i spray my verbal glock
so timeless
cock the hammer on my slow burner
be like nat turner when cats think im spineless
i believe in gods will but i shall not
kill you with kindness
i refuse to engage the morons and the mindless
what up satan
god is with me get behind this
i cover so much airspace they call me verizon wireless
2 hours of sleep and 12 hour work days
still im the finest
amazing grace i can see
no more blindness
learned the hustle in philly
never am i grindless
yo tanya..hey brother mitchell
my ex still smiles when i call her tissle
what up x clan im no longer malcolm x
in the middle
but by any means necessary
if you need me just whistle
im not old yet but damn if i aint grizzled
thats what happens when you drop
into the philly fire out of the skittle
im a baby from the motherland
i still suckle at her nipple
when i contemplate her continuous rape
i gotta stifle a sniffle
my life is on a perfect vibe
so you can say im blissful
im using my exocet missle
to blow up this epistle
dont need to rob roy for a fistfull of dollars
already got a fistful
the emergence of brother dee
is this homily i scribble
and a man shall emerge
to spread dee word
drop a spoken word
thats seldom heard
cant flex on brotha dee
if you dont have the nerve
ive been down with gil scott
since the word was johannesburg
i take 5 dolla word
and spyt em like they are simple vowels
all i ask for is reciprocity
to escape the velocity of bullets flying
in the philly bowels
i spyt until im sweating
please hand me a towel
i pay homage to the spirit who created
see
the fish in the sea
land aminals and fowl
my astrological is the lion
so its logical that i growl
but dont get me riled up
i will become hannibal lecter
hello clarice
you will be disemboweled
everyday i wake up i am on the prowl
no smile on my face
just a serious scowl
i aint lovey dovey
not rich like thruston howell
but im eloquent like martin luther
and my elocutuon reminds some
of adam clayton powell
so serious with my sacremental
no one but allah gave me this voice instrumental
always grounded by family fundamentals
the torah..koran and bible in my house
not merely ornamental
i rhyme slow or fast
but always sequential
leave the mob saying that brothers monumental
im versatile from g rating to access code parental
from revolutionary diatribes to love sentimental
live my life like a soldier regimental
stay away from people who can be detrimental
im rising up to reach my full black potential
making leaps and bounds
before the pace was incremental
always have an opinion
but im never judgemental
not accidental
they know brother dee name in the oriental
and a man shall emerge
to spead dee word
drop a spoken word
thats seldom heard
cant flex on dee
if you dont have the nerve
ive been down with gil scott
since the word was johannesburg
fly little ghetto bird
fly so damn high
defy
the haters and the racists
using the spirit of the masai
shout out to the brothers of omega psi phi
long ago i was gonna pledge
brother said i had to take a free ass kickin
sorry i couldnt comply
still i love them brothers because
they reaching for the sky
what up alpha phi alpha
and kappa alpha psi
phi skee and skee phi
alphas and aka are the truth man
no damn lie
what law created by man
havent i defied
if im gonna praise a man
yo it will be me brotha dee i deify
the proud black man
not the artist is who i signify
i satisfy the island spirits
and leave haters stupified
this black guy
always views the world with my 3rd eye
when i get intellectual
haters get terrified
hush little baby daddy gonna get you a mockingbird
please dont cry
and a man shall emerge
to spead dee word
drop a spoken word
thats seldom heard
cant flex on dee
if you dont have the nerve
ive been down with gil scott
since the word was johannesburg
