With da flick
Of my terror-WRIST
I remove demons like an exorcist
Tell me why has it come 2 this
Somehow U didn't get the gist
Now I add U 2 the list
I can't stop
Won't desist
Until Ur soul
Is Son-kissed
Deep from my cortex
I transport Ur mind n2 a vortex
My skills
I will
Flex
Until U stop and genuflect
2 the Light of the Creator
The Soul Stimulator
The Demon detonator
The Sacred Innovator
No matter the religion
I'll recite verbatim and with precision
Tap n2 Ur innervision
Force U 2 make a decision
Cuz, it's time 4 U 2 come correct
Mental fitness
Self respect
If need be I will interject
4 the Source
I'm forced 2 protect
It's time 2 SET IT OFF
I'm comin from the offspring of Ham
Poetry wit power
A Spirit bustin heads like a ram
Won't give ya 3 strikes
Cuz I don't want ya in the slam
The new Peculiar Institution
The System's retribution
4 us Overcoming
And shunning
The racist pollution
Of the Willie Lynch Manifesto
Cuz in the ghetto
We do grow
Native flowers sho nuff we show
The spirit of a Navaho
The man can't stop us
So he drop us
Wanna be free
He cop us
Wanna breathe
He flop us
Like a fish out of the ocean
Listen close
Get the notion
Of Black Pride Rising
Using God as locomotion
Never has it been done before
From chattel 2 the White House floor
Now the world knows what's in store
Give us a chance
We demand more
The Dream we take
And reshape it
Never do we forsake it
Add some yeast 2 the batter
So it rises when we bake it
Brothers and Sisters
WE ARE THE CHOSEN
All due respect 2 Steinburg and Rosen
I'm not anti-semite posin
My name is not Adolph
And I don't wear lederhosen
Not sayin we're the best
Just the first
Read Genesis
And 2 this we can attest
We never hated on the rest
That's why we've been abused
And our women were misused
It's time 2
SET IT OFF
Yo Watcher, LIGHT THE FUSE!!
