Can't murder the martyr
Must hear the voice of the daughter
Can't murder the martyr
Must hear the voice of the daughter
Repeatedly handcuffed, drugged and so forth
Born in exile, a matter of course
Learned to accept the force feeding lies
Mistrusting thine own eyes
Revolution of mind or pollution of soul
See the ante upping, more to be sold
These times are dangerous
Family structures fold
The strong and bold have best chances to outlast the culture clashes' burn to white ashes
Much fuel, enough for my one book of matches
{Criminalize or Medicate, among the many ways to placate
Victims of this rape, Holocaust Genocide
Survivor of hate crimes, I got reels of tape
Written in black and white
Through these modern days
Much more than being an unpaid ex-slave
I deal with hands on the land this foundation was laid
My life I fight to save
Effects of the on-going, recurring craze getting grave
Dummy junkies nodding through the haze, on parade
With tales of violation
Suppression and domination, denied true fate
Searching too much waiting, trapped in the lower realms of satan
Tired of consuming,
Taking back my powers of creation}
Can't murder the martyr
Must hear the voice of the daughter
I'm you, survived the slaughter
Them wish the killed or they caught her
Pillage
Fire
Looting
Flames
Destruction in the name of progression
Crusaders scarring complete civilizations in their procession
Nature taunted by man as second
Behold comes the reckoning
Children seeking truth will rebel and then
Expel lies in a try to be whole, Maybe
Right what is wrong with the power that was stolen and misappropriated Not that the commoners waiting for a handout
Take the cuffs off, what I'm talking bout Powers that be monitor my thoughts, my appearance, my mouth All they see's that I represent Aborigine
Snatched up from the trees I gotta take it to the streets
They want the kinks out my hair, the syncopation out my beat
Can't sleep in century 21
Constant threats
Captivity poison guns
Can't murder the martyr
Must hear the voice of the daughter
I'm you, survived the slaughter
Them wish the killed or they caught her
Uprising!
Elevate to a higher mind state to overcome the prevalence of hate
They made me fight, I make you think Forced by aggression to the brink but I don't sway
Planted firmly like a dock to the bay, wanna dock my pay
Cause I won't play
Serious, lash out at injustice like furious
Then Learned they mistrust us, to me it's curious
Already waste nuff time with the squabble and fuss
I got a world to change with the rhymes I bust
Penetrate the outer crust, Earthseed
Limitless
Flesh momentary but the soul don't bleed
Preachin aint gone' get it though we need the word
Police and jugde dem' they don’t get it just more time to serve
Can't murder the martyr
Must hear the voice of the daughter
I'm you, survived the slaughter
Them wish they killed or they caught her

Pity Poor City Girl
Thank Lord She Pretty
A shield from the world
Truth Sore Gritty
From One Came the Many
Aboriginal Infinite
Caint horde it sell it buy it Nor rent it
Beyond the finish
Transcend the Flesh
It gets better
with my words statements and Letters
I aint no quitter
In the Center
I’m the Center
For beginners
Done be Done
while they’re stuck on finna
Us Oppressed Come for Liberation
Many Obstacles We Be Facin‘
Contemplate
No Run No need for the Chasin’
African Descent Blessed with Divine Creation
Fighting for the Bread, Fighting for peace of Mind in the Head
Life of fighting for the Dread
Blood Splatters
Killed the Youth Laughter
Done felt the rapture
Over Again
Can’t trust trusting a friend
Ghetto life is wicked if you let it rule your spirit
Too many hopes been seared
Sublime threats Obvious fears
Selfish!, All Mine, Scared to share
Uptight Too tense Counting Petty Cares
Wheres the Justice?
Wanting life to be Fair
Black Pride Born with kinks all over my hair
Need not ask why
Melanin Inside
Freedom All Mine
And all that applies
Us Oppressed Want for Liberation
Many Obstacles We Be Facin‘
Contemplate
No Run No need for the Chasin’
African Descent Blessed with Divine Creation
Times Are Changing Anew
Use My Voice To Break Through Barriers
Created for my People
With intent of Evil
Anyone can see it
Once High
they fought to make Nigritians Die
Cast at the feet of them pillars in the sky
One with All!
None...
Feet Close to the center of the Earth
The surface is the dirt
High shall rule right, divine or fall
They caint’ kill us all... Not All!!
Educated Organized
With the Glory and the Vice
As is, Power of Night joined with the Light
Motivated with the Conscience thought
to free my mind
And Others of My Kind
Antidote for poison in the line
Us Oppressed Come for Liberation
Many Obstacles We Be Facin‘
Contemplate
No Run No need for the Chasin’
African Descent Blessed with Divine Creation

My Roots My Culture My Religion
Hip Hop Im Living
Producers who don't produce
Offer the trinkets to close to those that got the juice
From the roots of this industry
Money off the musicality
Sadly, so many badly want celebrity We moved by sounds of soulful harmonies
Yea sing!
Music mercenaries out to take got to figure what to bring, alongside down Tainting the sound holding tight to some niche they found Repetitive round in circles wit content so often detrimental and hurtful And the perks for them jerks to play around
is gettin paid Brains suffer decay from abuse of deejay playlists
Come wit it
Or get off the pot We taking back complete control of hip hop
Think it's gonna be that jiggy pop?
It's not
Cultivation of a long living crop
My Roots My Culture My Religion
Hip Hop Im Living
Female Producer,
Come in the studio and do yo work
I put down work like to the shirt sleeves
They wanna put me in a skirt like a secretary
or better yet pump her up with baby like Mary unmarried
Got purpose visionary
Woman exerting her power is scary
Big bad girl justified
made it through but barely
treated unfairly, yet I stare thee in the eyes
Contact perception wise
Defy the guidelines prescribed
My way or with the flow
Alternate ways to go in progressive forward movement
Newness reflecting antiquitated ways of black
Stacked and abundant
I want it and its mine
Claim in the name of the creator
In truth expose terms referring
power of the divine
In the heart to the soul from the mind
More love, less crime
Up on action
Down complaining and crying
My Roots My Culture My Religion
Hip Hop Im Living

Maiden Amerika
03:30
|
|||
Soul searching like a war torn veteran
Exiled from the Nile, defiled
Yet no one's better than I proven less
Making due with less
Trek traveler traversing the earth
Natures hurting
Blurt it out
so gag my mouth to silence my singing at midnight
Fearing my darkness, Infiltrate with street lights
I'm too bright
Brown beacon
Black
Guided through dreams while sleepin'
Keepin On, Thi moment is serious and long
Assured endurance
Tenacity run in my family
African Insurance,
Innocence wont stop befalling calamity
Bringing while seeking the cure
Needing the bait to live, Bypassing the lures
In this lake man made a sewer
Every lines a trick, Nothings Sure
But my pure will to live on
Undiluted, real
Ha ha, I can still feel
My heavy heart it heals
My body's bled from steel
My eyes they shoot to kill
Sealed in life to know the ill
Exposure will equip a soldier
Or sag the shoulders of Maiden Amerika
I stand tall in low places
Squat in upturned faces
And as if a race exists
I'm invisible
Scribbling on the wall
Little bird that seen it all
From the Origins
The rise, the Fall
The fall
Seasons repeating
Velocity of known patterns, knee deep
Spiraling
I am I
I n I
Plus all of them
Hidden precious gems
Getting past the war zone
So I can cash 'em in
Young Maiden
Made in Amerika
Young Maiden, Made in Amerika
Oh Oh Oh Aboriginal
Coming back for my great great grand mother's gold
States wear a nigga out, make she wanna fold
Fathers of the family sold, Our language they stole
Antiquity Longevity
Traits of surviving Aborigines
Try and lock us down gotta fight to be free
Gotta seek to find me
Roots derived from the origin of this planets inhabitants
So much has happened since then
Now near the ruin of humans
How man expect to rise, with so many low plans?
Luxury come with peril on the other hand
Uncertainty be like quicksand
Firmly holding out for a hand that's deep rooted
Alluding to the truth that bites like mans carnivorous tooth
Soothing is a long way off
In search of the coffers, Peeping the catch in the offer
Daughter recognize the matrix and it's glitches
Though our riches were raided
That we retained needs saving
Made in Maiden Amerika
Young Maiden, Made in Amerika
Sweet lady
Or sometimes, they call me baby
Not my name but
Blatantly Under rating me
And my energies
Bred born inner city
Paved Streets like an ant farm
Containing all Amerika's dreams
The vain greedy queen
leaves Brown soul sista status lean
Take a risk and trust my team
Alliances unified in defying dying enslaved
Trader out to gain, hate yo guts but love yo name
From petty battles i refrain
No time to bother with them lames
They lusting fortune and fame,The most I hope for is reign
Exert the power to attain
Same smiles through the trials on the road of life
No dimmer spirits can diminish my light
Inner fight to shade my eyes from this strife
Mind state can make reality bite
So many go wrong cause they taught against whats right
If them caught up on that image
Know no worries bout the true plight
Oh Oh Oh Aboriginal
Coming back for my great great grand mother's gold
States wear a nigga out, make she wanna fold
Fathers of the family sold, Our language they stole

Fighting, More fighting, Keep Fighting
Still Fighting, Fighting, Fightin', Still fighting,
Keep Fightin', More fightin', Fightin', Fighting,
More Fighting Keep fightin,
Still fightin', Fightin
They rise They Fall
Come One Come All
Big Head fear Small
Power Status Money
No Control Beasts Crawl!
Without Plans All demands
Sprawled Face first,
On their knees and hands
I stand
Descent of the originators of man
Preserved like can goods or redwood
Foundation of the totem
Feet Black
Nigga Dalit Aborigine She's back!
Reincarnated
To survive bowed and scraped
but I made it
Most would long be faded by my fate
Escapades I prevail
As souls await in pain to be saved
I'm out the grave, in the game, got my doctors okay
So lets play
Sphinx underdog, coming out slaughtering hogs
This is the daughterens call
Standing for the fallen that fought
For the glory wrought
Wicked spells that were taught
Running captives caught
Hunting Hawk
Eye on the prize
Ya betta pray
My demise is over any day
Then comes the big pay back
Ya worried aintcha
Scared of the black
Fighting, More fighting, Keep Fighting
Still Fighting, Fighting, Fightin', Still fighting,
Keep Fightin',
Gumbo Jambalaya but with the roux
Ancient voodoo coming through to balance the two
Divide and conquer got us split
we know its true
Black people we know what we gotta do
Blue black and high yella
working loving fighting rising together
reweaving severed ties
rewriting truth squashing lies
Representing Nigritia
Eager student humble teacher
Seeking heaven in the belly of the beast
Fools, multipllying like yeast
War is doomed to never cease
More peace please
Keep mine war in the fire
Until the desired time
Enough resistance in the line
To snap back to the plateau
My nigga God, knows
Relative to the aboriginal
And so, time goes on
As mood of man changes int he strangest days yet
Today's ways aint set
Devils bluffin
Plus got side bet
Surviving souls the phoenix
Them devils are turkey necks
Cause I'm melinated and electrified
They upset
Wanna keep me in debt
to the system
and inept
But I'm 10 thousand years older
and 2 leagues ahead
Ya never stop the heart of the dread
I resisted cried out and pled
Now I'm maneuvering
Taking the go ahead
In gold purple and reds
Planes of filtered light
Flapping like flags
The wind grabs vibes like a kite
Them lag
Suffer repercussions
Absorb or Absolve
They Rise
They Fall
Come on, come all
Big head fear small
Power status, money no control
Beasts crawl
Without Plans All demands
Sprawled face first on their knees and hands
Fighting, More fighting, Keep Fighting
Still Fighting, Fighting, Fightin', Still fighting,
Keep Fightin', More fightin', Fightin', Fighting,
More Fighting Keep fightin,
Still fightin', Fightin

Involuntary Servitude
04:22
|

Silently From Lack of Tongue
cut out
We've begun a new life
Across Waters
Gold Skies to Dark Nights
Ages reversing
Enslaving my Person
For lost Daughters and Sons
Searching
Ancestors lived it Firsthand
Hijackers took us Hostage and Robbed the Land
of all
Between diamonds and Water
Shackled feet across the Sands
Cut off!
From Relatives Native Tongue and Future Plans
Dehydrated Beat Weak Could hardly Stand
the women... who held unborn child
Across the desert for miles
castrated shaved maimed murdered defiled
Whole Villages
Millions
Massive Crowds of Family
Indigenous
Before All time
Brutally Punished as if federal crime
but no Reason
Or Enough Rations
Starvation.
Facing Unknown Terrors
And sure Brutality
Valleys of Death in Unmarked Graves
Bodies Marking The route of Ocean
Upon which we sailed Away
The Gods Are Crazy if not Angry at Injustices Committed
The Healthy Poisoned Sick
Hearts Torn
cause of Families Split
Babies Throats Slit
In dungeons Held Captive
Branded. Entrapment.
Devilish Acts attacking Aboriginal Existence
The Richest Continent on Earth
Reduced To Turf Wars
Man's Race To Gain More
No More than Selfish Greed
Insidious Blood Thirsty Savagery
Involuntary servitude established the rise
of this Nation Built by Captives on Plantations
Involuntary Servitude! Reparations Are Due!
Involuntary servitude established the rise
of this Nation Built by Captives on Plantations
Involuntary Servitude! Reparations Are Due!
Back Burnin Heat
Callouses Scratches Cuts On Hands And Feet
Crime to Be Free
Tricked Lied To Manipulated Deceived
Tarred and Feathered
Shot Down
Or Hangin From Trees
Carolinas
Mississippi
God Damn!
13 Colonies
And the Caribbean
one with the Sun
At War with Submission
Christians Insisting We Accept these Conditions
Lynchin Lynchin...
Lynchin!!!!!
Chicken Feet. Neck Bones. Chitlins'
Rank Meat
To Feed My People With Need Of Greenery
Devilish Savages Spread Disease
Hypocrisy
In Life On Earth, You Belong To Me
They Said
Only in Heaven After Death will You be Free
Catch 21, 22, 33
Life Span
If Nigga Stood Up to Be A Man
My Sistas Violated Turned Tan
Subdued By Tied Hands
while they did their Do.
Dem' Mans
From Ancient Architectural designing
Civilized
To Cotton Pickin in Lines
Diggin in Mines
Choppin Cane And Wood
Planting Corn
Denied
Basic necessities and Human Rights.
Melinated Peoples
Consistently Continually
Suffer Injustices
Wherever we reside
Worldwide
Caint Stop the Flow Of Truth Or Hide
Involuntary Servitude Established the Rise
Of this Nation
Built By Captives On Plantations
How long should I keep waiting
For our Reparations?
Compensation without Delay,
cause...
Strenuous Labor- Slaving with no pay to save
For Centuries, Slavin' with no pay to save
Physically erecting the foundation and Structure
Of all that is seen here Today
Involuntary Servitude! Reparations Are Due!
Involuntary servitude established the rise
of this Nation Built by Captives on Plantations
Involuntary Servitude! Reparations Are Due!

Can't murder the martyr
Must hear the voice of the daughter
Can't murder the martyr
Must hear the voice of the daughter
Repeatedly handcuffed, drugged and so forth
Born in exile, a matter of course
Learned to accept the force feeding lies
Mistrusting thine own eyes
Revolution of mind or pollution of soul
See the ante upping, more to be sold
These times are dangerous
Family structures fold
The strong and bold have best chances to outlast the culture clashes' burn to white ashes
Much fuel, enough for my one book of matches
{Criminalize or Medicate, among the many ways to placate
Victims of this rape, Holocaust Genocide
Survivor of hate crimes, I got reels of tape
Written in black and white
Through these modern days
Much more than being an unpaid ex-slave
I deal with hands on the land this foundation was laid
My life I fight to save
Effects of the on-going, recurring craze getting grave
Dummy junkies nodding through the haze, on parade
With tales of violation
Suppression and domination, denied true fate
Searching too much waiting, trapped in the lower realms of satan
Tired of consuming,
Taking back my powers of creation}
Can't murder the martyr
Must hear the voice of the daughter
I'm you, survived the slaughter
Them wish the killed or they caught her
Pillage
Fire
Looting
Flames
Destruction in the name of progression
Crusaders scarring complete civilizations in their procession
Nature taunted by man as second
Behold comes the reckoning
Children seeking truth will rebel and then
Expel lies in a try to be whole, Maybe
Right what is wrong with the power that was stolen and misappropriated Not that the commoners waiting for a handout
Take the cuffs off, what I'm talking bout Powers that be monitor my thoughts, my appearance, my mouth All they see's that I represent Aborigine
Snatched up from the trees I gotta take it to the streets
They want the kinks out my hair, the syncopation out my beat
Can't sleep in century 21
Constant threats
Captivity poison guns
Can't murder the martyr
Must hear the voice of the daughter
I'm you, survived the slaughter
Them wish the killed or they caught her
Uprising!
Elevate to a higher mind state to overcome the prevalence of hate
They made me fight, I make you think Forced by aggression to the brink but I don't sway
Planted firmly like a dock to the bay, wanna dock my pay
Cause I won't play
Serious, lash out at injustice like furious
Then Learned they mistrust us, to me it's curious
Already waste nuff time with the squabble and fuss
I got a world to change with the rhymes I bust
Penetrate the outer crust, Earthseed
Limitless
Flesh momentary but the soul don't bleed
Preachin aint gone' get it though we need the word
Police and jugde dem' they don’t get it just more time to serve
Can't murder the martyr
Must hear the voice of the daughter
I'm you, survived the slaughter
Them wish they killed or they caught her

Times are changing anew
Use my voice to break through
Barriers
Created for my people
With intent of evil
Anyone can see it
Once high, they fight to make Nigritians die
Cast of the feet of them pillars in the sky
One with All
None
Feet close to the center of the earth
The surface is the dirt
High shall right
Divine or Fall
they cant kill us all
Not All
Educated Organized, with the glory and the vice
As in,
Power of light
Joined with the night
Motivated with the conscious thought to free my mind
And many others of my kind
Antidote for poison in the line
Reflection of the swine
Theoretically, aint no beasts up on this beat
Skills
Will
Heart, first priorities
Time, dont wait for no one
Time, dont wait for no one
High vibes is the destiny
Energy and state of mnd
Will build good chi
Thus set us free
Know the being inside of me
to attain the life of a tree
and become the root
Through absolutes
shown variable
Unhindered in the area I flow
With heart and soul as the paddle
I unscramble the babble
Clarity come to battle
Smooth,
Fools are ultimately losing
Chose to voice the blues and yellows
Mean green anew like the Spring
Brothers Shoot
Sistas Sing
Now the bells gonna ring
Time, dont wait for no one
Time, dont wait for no one
Take yo knife
Out my back
Aint No Shame in being black
Pin me in a corner, yes, I gotta attack
Forget tying me up with a little bit of slack
Renting a room in a shack
All my clothes in a sack
Plus in my chairs a tack
Let loose or hold back
Go'on and go with the flow
Least there know I got total control
One with my soul
Rhythmatic prose
non-flash no pose
Natural, ya know
Boaast for the real quality of the coast
Have nots representing the least, Bringing the most
Holding tight on the brink of cyclical
Breathing through my nose
A little jazzmatazz singer scatter
Horn blows
New in the line of the days of old
Carrying a load that's so light with my laughter
Joy, I'd much rather
Still tests come tamper
attempting to put a damper on things
They get no power over me
Nature rules supreme
Time, dont wait for no one
Time, dont wait for no one
Time, dont wait for no one
Time, dont wait for no one

Progress motivate mash
Piercing fields of resistence
Ear drums prodded to hear it
So near yet so far stars
Behind bars
Wearing glittery things
so the brightest of all things
will have some extra bling
The sun melts all that novelty
Intellectual robbery
Culture consumer comedy
Imposed on the soul
Paid mucho dues
Added with taxes and tolls
Aint gonna roll over and play dead
In the red by default
Not all run away slaves got caught
Progress Motivate, Mash
Movement, No Hesitate

Motivation Action Forward Do!
Done did it Do it some more
The power strong and its sure
Purely antagonized by mans moral crimes
We been baiting by lures
Waiting for cures
Open up eyes get done or be the doer
Searching for the pure
Real question fake
Cant be so fragile
That I crack or break
Innovate in crowded space
Progress Motivate, Mash

I feel like a toll has been taken on my soul
Gather my resources and continue to move on
Gotta be strong in this life of hardship
Not playing the games
Nor trying to get pimped
Equipped intellect and wit to progress with my gift
As moments people shift, gotta maintain the uplift
Fire burned Iya, Need higher, why o why a question asked
A thing of the past
Char char a little grass
Answers later
Sovor this moment
Hoping for the best
Jah Bless!
Action manifest Do it, Done
Comfort in knowing no place to run from the sun
Many from the One
Don Dadda shake Don
Graphic motion city life
Ice vibes
Freezing in the sunlight
Only warmed through the heat of fighting fo my rights
For my life
Night through the day
Made another one
So i pray to give thanks and think to make my way
On the brink, but I dont sway
Planted as if standard
Just as strong if played on random
Madame titter tatter on her rhyme pattern
Lessor talent tend to scatter
Getting to the meat of the matter
Its a hard fall with no padding
Let loose no grabbing
See how free you be in this madness
Had this, Had that,
transcend, left with what now
Smile upon your heart
Or an ugly faced frown
Sound Off
Hold it in Don't cough
Who said Cali was soft
Rhymes boss
None of the family left with a loss
Or all deals are off
Consequence and Cost
When I'm bleak
Cali heat melt the frost
Here's some tissue for your eyes
Wipe up resolve some issus
Here to hit ya with some words verse literature
This vessels engine purrs
Amped revving from 7 past 7 till 9
Time is a monster
Keep it on my side
The gruesome side kick rides
Mash to get a hit
Cause the music got substance
Reality roughness
Jack a line from Hammer
Can't touch this
Fire from the West
Imiuswi
my name is on the list
For the glorious Blackness womanhood I represent
Tamper with it then you meet the meaning of set trip
Down with the truce Reunite the bloods and crips
Born and raised in LA, its that way, this life I live
Throw in a cliche, so you feel it, head nod bob and sway
My favorite planet the sun , nourish I with solar rays
Aint me, Its my spirit, that no force can fade
Fresh rhymes that make em say

These days of living are so unforgiving
Consequence is vicious,
Mankind’s too pretentious
Lustin sensual delicious, Lie cheat steal
to get the riches
Man after man britches, Times are switchin
and wont quit. Stand for resistance
or roll with the snowball effect when it hit
If I were to compile a survivor checklist
top threats would be lack of unity and loose lips
They all playin it of, Everyone wanna be the boss
Chokin on the bomb tryin hard not to cough
Toss them acts aside, it aint no loss
Reality it varies, just discard the false
Now if you know the truth
you know who’s been dipped
corndogs, cotton candy sherm sticks wacks wick
Stuck on stupid, no substance
I bring more to show than
dancin, prancin, romance, Out on blast
shakin asses, breedin bastards gettin hotter
younger faster. Last can’t get no laster
Laughter to keep from cryin complex
My duty’s to flex. Survivor of the cruise
and the wreck. Judgement and rules
stacked on me but it’s me they can’t accept
A complete soul
outta place outta step
No home with more fullness to grow
Bustin out from under the cement
Reachin close to the suns glow
Standin firm no knees bent
power of reason, Jah know
When Humanity fails to show and instead
parades the ravages of the raid
On a crusade to raise the uncut few
who stood instead of laid. Gotta remember
this is a Police State
and he needs you to help him regulate
No debate like nazi Germany
in the ghetto hide out and wait
Darkies aint united
Aint neva gone’ git paid
Always gone’ git played divided
Unless you let me bring this change
Aint gone be no riots. Don’t get excited
It’s a connection to the true self
that melinated has always been fighting
They all playin it of, Everyone wanna be the boss
Chokin on the bomb tryin hard not to cough
Toss them acts aside, it aint no loss
Reality it varies, just discard the false
They all playin it of, Everyone wanna be the boss
Chokin on the bomb tryin hard not to cough
Toss them acts aside, it aint no loss
Reality it varies, just discard the false
Why it got to be that way
A lot of pride but just not so great
Still they plain and mundane
Flashy!, Love it when my eyes blink
or my neck crane
Lookin back...
Don’t smudge the black
Contradicting Facts
Jumpin in the sack
Need get smacked
repercussion soul is under attack
A whole generation ass cracked out
Some for everybody
drippin out their mouth
dirty south wicked west
freaky east naked north
Rechart the course
Gather forces for the mutinous divorce
Toss the vile to the source
from whence it came
Narrow borders between functioning
minds and insane
Obvious offenders to blame
Wild out...?!
Don’t free your brain
Make it tame refrain refine
Take control of the mind
Why it gotta be that way
A lot of pride but just not so great
Proclaim and then loss them thangs
Only seen it on a street thats main
They all playin it of, Everyone wanna be the boss
Chokin on the bomb tryin hard not to cough
Toss them acts aside, it aint no loss
Reality it varies, just discard the false

Crook Love

I’m looking for that crook that stole my heart
Dang, seems like out thang ended before it got started
I’m looking for that crook that stole my heart
Dang, seems like out thang ended before it got started
Looking high
Looking low
Sending out the vibes, hoping he’ll know
I remember
I can’t forget your touch
Goes against your taste to stay in one place
Making my hunt that much harder
Seems I can’t beat this race
I need to see your face
I’m looking for that crook that stole my heart
Dang, seems like out thang ended before it got started
(repeat)
Searching all over for you
Turning over rocks
Showing up at your spot
I know what you got in store
Had a little bit
And I want some more
I’m looking for that crook that stole my heart
Dang, seems like out thang ended before it got started
I’m looking for that crook that stole my heart
Dang, seems like out thang ended before it got started
When you’re Free
Come see me
When there’s time on your hands
Come fulfill my demand
Aint got no plans
You just the perfect man
Been touched by your hands
And now enchanted
The seed of desire been planted
Hot like fire can’t stand it
Why’d you have to go international?
I’m regional
But gonna get my pass port
and jet set
to get to where you at
Can’t let it rest
Hooked on the best yet
Risk it all in the bet
Venture forth with measured steps
I’m looking for that crook that stole my heart
Dang, seems like out thang ended before it got started
I’m looking for that crook that stole my heart
Dang, seems like out thang ended before it got started
Looking high
Looking low
Sending out the vibes, hoping he’ll know
I remember
I can’t forget your touch
Goes against your taste to stay in one place
Making my hunt that much harder
Seems I can’t beat this race
I need to see your face
I’m looking for that crook that stole my heart
Dang, seems like out thang ended before it got started
I’m looking for that crook that stole my heart
Dang, seems like out thang ended before it got started

Girl with mind fine tuned
Getcho read on
Open up yo eyes
They say you disease prone
HIV poverty mortality stupidity
You're a princess no matter what they'll have you be
Sista standing solid
Sacred naked soul nature made your birth first
As example of ample attributes
Many contribute to your calamity, now choose
To be the best you're born to be
Dont lose
Diffuse the confusion of your status
I've had it with the illusion and know you have too
Challenge the mind first
Then t.v. and news
Defend your innermost thats been abused
investing the dues to heal your spirit and soothe the blues
Gone and do that
taking your name back
Girls, women, mothers, daughters, sisters,
Resist attack on your grace and integrity
Trade hostility for tranquility
Savagery for humanity
Love yourself, Mind body like you want you need you badly
You not hardly out of sync as they think
Beating the rap
Charged by the mean streets
I know your image refined, precious and sweet
Lioness you're great
Power within a woman
so oftern underestimated
Some turn macho some gay
To cope and deal with the hatred
instigated by the patriarchal rule arrangement
But its the balance that best be maintained
Between the sun and moon
Beautiful, rightful state regained
To the surface, purge your pain
Come pure with the actions for a the cure
You're a doer, everyday is newer
Revitalized, healing all the damage suppressed inside
Its alright to cry
Its alright to defy
what them think them thought or expect
Aint got to answer why, stress nor fret
Your life, Your risk, your bet
With the proper preparation poised with power ya step
Forward on to the next
Steer clear of the garbage in the road
Don't wreck
Descent of Queens now check
Girl with mind fine tuned
Getcho read on
Open up yo eyes
They say you disease prone
HIV poverty mortality stupidity
You're a princess no matter what they'll have you be
Girl with mind fine tuned
Getcho read on
Open up yo eyes
They say you disease prone
HIV poverty mortality stupidity
You're a princess no matter what they'll have you be
You've got the power to execute your will
mind moves matter like mountains
Start to feel
In ya hills, boots or slides
Crawling walking or driving
Sistas understand the plight, the fight, it aint right
And goes on in broad daylight
Throwing the black woman down like rice
at a wedding that aint happening,
None too nice
We so precious without price
Low treatment wont suffice
We better than than that
Till now through history
Without me,
so many would have never survived
Girl with mind fine tuned
Getcho read on
Open up yo eyes
They say you disease prone
HIV poverty mortality stupidity
You're a princess no matter what they'll have you be

I Am Hip Hop
Hip Hop is culture
Culture builds society
Civilization benefits from what hip hop brings
Mouth runners wanna be above ya
Nothing like the Natural Wonders
96 broke through with the consciousness
Diss in battle rhymes
Freestyle to pass time
Behind the monument at city hall in the wood
Erecting out renaissance
Enlightened Brahman Goddess
Illuminati had us but aint got us
And Im being modest
In 05 its out of line to bang about problems
Action our solution to undo the damage done
Philosophy applies to the equation
Dwelling on theory like it sums
Where we going, where we from
Not chasing diversion passes
Want me off course
moving like an agent of provocation of force
in derailment of movement
Which is action
to promote the anti-defamation
of women and men of black skin
Consciousness not a contest to win
Alpha and Omega
No beginning no end
I Am Hip Hop
Hip Hop is culture
Culture builds society
Civilization benefits from what hip hop brings
New Dawn Rising sun
First Drum, Heart beat
Internal Nyabingi
Boom boom Be bop
Rhythm rock
From Ragged Time to Hip Hop
besides the conk
Bred a proud kinky crop
Beady beats rise to top
Represent the Lost Much-Have Nots
In a nation and time
when so many have forgot
Their roots and have stopped giving props
to the integrity
that kept us complete
Made us distinct
Put the world on pause
to marvel, think, critique
Yet none can compete
Anyone can rap over beats
Passion purpose
Enlisted in the most high's service
learned the knack of giving love to those intent to hurt us
I'll never be no murderess
Message music to live to live through
Honorable
The worst side of folks
they cultivate and promote
Real thing no joke
Good Spirit what we really want
Humble up
Release
Let go, ego.
Lovely lonely path
Pretty flowers
Water fall
Brain bath
I Am Hip Hop
Hip Hop is culture
Culture builds society
Civilization benefits from what hip hop brings
Youth raised up in the cipher
From darkness
enlightenment rose the spirit higher
Gun shot 94, I didn't die
Begin to delve inside myself and question why
Disparities divide my community
from beauty and unity
Consuming off Sam and Charlie
Found it starts with me
My sistas' I keep
Responsibility
Lock it up, Hold tight the key
Beady beady, nappy , knotty, kinky coarse
Exotic
Aboriginal
Phases of the Jedi force
Kinetic, melinated
A fierce fact stated in the company of degenerated
Not to take
But re-instate the rightful place of the former greats
Never duplicated
Spurned, hated,
With love, through art, as a people, overcame it
Some don't wanna hear it or can't take it
This for those who need it
Without it might break
