I'm just a liberation scribe writing these bars of freedom The god's got kids and uncle g'wan help feed 'em My words free the mind whether you hear 'em or read 'em The duty of a civilised man is to teach 'em Wave your guns at the system and unify the prisons I save a ghetto child from getting drawn out at Princeton Still a million man march even though some are limping Like Kunta caught up in big pimping and linen Karma sutra, I sooth ya Nah I ain't bitchin' I armoured through ya, moved ya and seized your kitchen Was my steez with ease to blitzkrieg the women Now my hymns hem her heart's stitching See I'm reppin for my fam that's the joy of living See I reps for my fam that's the joy of living I see you reppin for your fam and that's the joy of living Was thanks taking, there was no thanksgiving
I keep my eyes on the sparrow Americas always gotta full barrel of stress So strap on your vest Since the manger avoid the one left in the chamber Divide and rule kills the knowledge of self Now this remainder remains to be the last born The first scorned The one you made the scapegoat The god building like Joseph In technicolour peep my dreamcoat Y'all keep it real I'm a keep the real estate on the block I don't fiend for the cream I fiend for the gold it's backed by Y'all use the physical two All seeing third eye Pierces holes through your spleen Scores goals on your team Choke, holes on your neck Bill, fold all your cream Blaow!, holes through your dreams Unbalanced is the beam The sun rises in the east in Bruknaam I come clean I see you reppin for your fam that's the joy of living Was thanks taking, there was no thanks giving
I be wise as a serpent, peaceful as a dove Flow be perfection, the attribute's love From Brixton to Brooklyn, topsoil, I recoil to Medina Ascend thrones in brownstone Blaze pastures, mines greener In backwoods trees get nestles With the beast within I wrestle, for anointed be this vessel To rebuke the devil No progress without the struggle got to hustle before you bubble God's words (are) no hustle though See brother Bains, like Malcolm, think long range Sincere My life's dedicated to change Locked up in the belly (of) America's gut If I'm sleeping with the enemy, my eyes wide shut You see I reps for my fam for the joy of living You see I'm reppin' for my fam, that's the joy of living I see you reppin for your fam and that's the joy of living Was thanks taking, there was no thanksgiving
