lyrics

Verse 1

Even at night
I climb like an eagle in flight
And I ain't talking 'bout the feet in my Nikes

The only thing I own is my soul
I'm leasing my life

I'm grateful for the beans and the rice
Sometimes a cold pizza slice

Sonny listen (Liston)

These rhymes like Ali in a fight
Back against the ropes, swingin' precise

Hip Hop
Miracles we perform on the spot

To your ears
We're like uni-corn on the cob

Let the wind breathe through my lungs
My heart, beat a drum

The universal pulse you can feel, fingers and thumbs

I layed the bricks in layers, between it was mud

A wise man said "You build, the people will come"

Ibrahim built the Kaabah, you can see'em on Hajj

All Praise to The Lord of the Worlds, we orbit the sun

Grew up North of the Slum

The Factories tortured our lungs

But it still helped a grandmother raise her daughters and sons
With water and buns
The fortunate ones
Got corporate funds
You see this portrait is hung

If the record is a smash,
I can still survive

I bet you rappers gettin' shattered into porcelain crumbs

Don't believe the hype,
gas is the formula one

Politics stab in the back,
and fork in the tongue

It's the Red, White and Blue
on the Fourth of the Month

They say you can come
Depending on what border you're from



Verse 2

Binary Star
Born in Pontiac
light a cigar
The Chief factories,
preparing the cars
Work life, very hard
From here to Rome,
Hayes Jones let the medal spark
Pinklon In the ring
fighting heavy arms
Swinging like Tiger with pars
Silverdome Lions
Hike Barry yards
Giant or dwarf
The problems at large
When the monetary far
Aint a damn thing was like hardy har
Bribing the narcs
The partisan fraud
Liquor stores and churches line boulevards
No pulling library cards
No dollars for art
The scholarships cost
A Military garb
Momma's cry very hard
Please don't let me die in her arms!
Buried in cemetary parks
The Mortuaries dark
From the street Beef
like dairy farms
My diet was hog
I'm Getting high with the squad
Soon to be X-rated
like the Tribe of Shabazz
The word 'Freedom' was a lie of course
Where Penitentiary guards
In the Slam,
like Gary Heart-
These Legendary bars
like Iron Starks
Solitary thoughts
Carry my heart,
a cage
Now You know why this Canary darts
Do I site a mirage?
science or God?
Like it or not
Bite it or bark
We' next to bat,
like a Stephen King Saint Bernard
Poetry,
my very art
Recording behind a garage
Honest expressions from the very start
It's bitter sweet
like cherry tart
Check-
Reality Harsh
Conquistadors,
not sorry to March
Wolfman Jack Heads
die in the car
No time to resolve
That's How they revolve
Light years apart
And that's only the half
Binary Star
