[VERSE 1] 

With this mic in my hand I command the grand order 

A physical man, I stand on land and water 

Fire and wind, I transcend physical borders 

My father is the son and the moon is his daughter 

My mother the Earth, she gave birth to the seed 

From a lifeless ball of clay, empty as a hollow reed 

Until Allah breathed life into my physical frame 

From a state of nothingness instead of existing I became 

By God, the true and living given insight 

Certain colors manifesting physical light 

But still earthbound, held down by the physical elements 

Spiritual development gives me a higher intelligence 

Beyond these concrete streets and the green pastures 

I walk with the elders, 24 supreme masters 

They taught me time travel and how to master sound 

Through ancient scriptures lost but now found 

I'm like the intergalactic Asiatic star fighter 

Creative rhyme writer, I meditate like a spider 

Call me an old soul, psychedelic mic relic 

Trained on a spiritual plane by angelic 

Michael taught me to rock the mic well 

Gabriel showed me how to read, write and spell 

Rafael gave the forewarning 

He said, "When you hear the trumpets blow you'll know new day's dawning" 

So I sat with the Gods and for years we did the science 

And when I stood up I realized that we were giants 

I sat with the Gods and for years we did the science 

And when I stood up I realized that we were giants 



[CHORUS] 

I'm not a gangster, I'm somethin closer to a monster 

A Chi-town underground Boogie Down Bronxster 

Remember when I stomped ya like in concert? 

With the rugged raw I came, I saw and I conquered 

I'm not a rapper, rappers get thrown away 

Hardrocks get knocked and locked and blown away 

And rap stars fade away and those who say 

Don't know and those who know won't say 

Runnin game we don't play and those who say 

Don't know and those who know won't say 



[VERSE 2] 

I was a mild child until I got influenced by the _Wild Style_ 

Then I became the unclaimed son of Hussein 

Society's blame, the whole world's afraid of me 

Killin myself but I'm still in effect like slavery 

When I was down I got stepped on, when I was up I got slept on 

Like a sofa bed but still I kept on 

Tryin to feed the masses like Jesus with a loaf of bread 

Cut out the middle man and eliminate the overhead 

Step off the jock and let my record rock 

Like the shepherd who lead the flock, the one who kept it locked 

The keeper of the style who kept the cheeba in the isle 

I took a walk through thought and ran deeper than a mile 

I get down, cover ground, make my mic sound nice 

Take aim, hit the map and rap around the world twice 

I'm so precise it's frightening, I'm like lightning 

Strikin in the same place twice with the mic device 

When I drop this hip-hop on your ear 

Put the microphone in a shop for repair 

It might require surgery, re-wire the circuitry 

In the event of an actual emergency 

We'll interrupt your program to keep you informed 

The forecast calls for severe brainstorms 

When I shoot the gift I let my mind drift like the contintents 

After the show I'm unavailable for comments 



[CHORUS] 



[VERSE 3] 

I'm a byproduct of the viaduct who struck out in response to 

What you did was created a monster 

I wasn't expected to survive but I did 

You're feelin my vibe? Well I'm still alive cause I hid 

Deep in the cut where we sleep in a hut 

On the bare floor near the door we drank from the same cup 

And all ate from the same plate, that's how I came up 

I rode the train for fame and got my name up 

Stayin I reign permanent when I shoot my sperm in it 

From the barrel to the earth up to the firmanent 

I'm shinin like a ( ? ) the lion of Juda 

On the Mountain Zion meditatin with the buddha 

I looked to the sky, saw the mothership overpassin me 

I felt my heart start to race with great ferocity 

To see the holy Crystal City in his chastity 

Sat down at the throne of His Majesty 

With 144'000 seat capacity 

I heard the prophecy, Babylon ending tragically 

I speak emphatically even when mics are staticky 

Flowin radically till things change dramatically 



[CHORUS] 



Yeah 

You know? 

Those who say don't know 

and those who know won't say 

So when you get through talkin and walkin your lips 

we gon' keep it movin like thi
