lyrics

I beg you pardon
The Faustian bargain
Has got me talkin this Hebrew jargon (Shalom)
Serenity prayers
enter my lair
Infinity here
So hear my dear

Alcohol and egos
Speaking to the ethos
To play chess with a
Scared to death negro
Buck breaking, coonism
can’t have it
I rather play the wall with self
A Black magic
Ochun to Haitian Vaudou
migration
Who knew
The ones invisible here were actually true blue
Blood of Christ
Original
Fucc ya life
Cancel who
I am the son of father
Father was a scholar
Ife
The genesis of Yoruba race
Holla
Ig thots and thoughts of a mortal
The flesh is weak
The soul is immortal

Rich old men are Destroying the world
Who taught you to hate yourself?
Good hair bad hair
Timeless kinks
The world is a mess, goddamn it stinks

You see progress in dem skirts
I see promise in the work
There’s more than meet the eye
When my pen go bezerk
It’s speaker’s crying
And preachers dying
The truth is here
But them
Is lying
Facedown on they falsehoods.
I was northwood
Next to Pine Ridge
Black white
All good
sike
never that
Race war home
Skinheads came for me
Andre Joneu hlcfLn
Came through for me
or I was fucked up
Then we link
Dropped a tape
It is non stop

(Back room studios Nigga)
We mightve been the first to drop a tape in the ville
