[Verse 1: Brother Ali]
Alright, okay, let's get it situated
I spit directly from the people that originated
All of that shit you faking, think that imitation is amazing
You need to fix your faces quickly 'for your spirit get eliminated
I've been initiated, strictly by invitation
To the order of the Samurai, so this is sacred
Revealing by right, he's heat but I'm light
He feel it shine bright, deleting all hype
I'm not shining, I'm glowing, every rhyme is a poem
You been already knowing, I been trying to told 'em
Still grinding and groping, still prying it open
Still divinely controlled and I honour the moment
Been around the globe and always finding pieces of me
Reason to breath as deep as the sea
Pay the ticket price and speak it for free
Lay my head on any bed and then eventually dream of the key
I arrive clear, no dye here
But the colors of the tears cried here might appear on my beard
Uh, the dust I carry on me is just a ceremony
Because it bears the stories of the ones that came before me
You witness the glory, the gifted oratory
That I distribute as the richness of the poor and holy
They thought the floor could hold me, they thought the sky confined me
They thought the prison of the earthly body might define me
They thought because that God is out of sight, I follow blindly
Anything outside of space and time cannot be timely
Allow me, glad tidings to the strangers
Ain't concerned with being famous or how many hits their page gets
That are happy being nameless, and absent from your papers
And could never be swayed by someone clapping in their faces
Hatred can't degrade them, praise could never raise 'em
Their glamor can't be faded by no passing entertainment
And that's the generation where I catch my inspiration
The manuscript they're saving is the one I scratched my name in
This is by love, to love, through love, true love
Turn the lights down and turn the tune up
