    SET IT OFF

    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!!
