[Intro: Azeem] Yeah.. Oakland, California Nineteen Two Thousand and Seventy Seven Yeah, A-Z-33-M, Germany, what's happenin? Told y'all a long time man, E.T.C. - Erase and Take Charge Time never was, yeah...
[Azeem] Told you last record our minds was museums When you bare witness, no need to believe it I wrote these vocals while dreamin Ridin on lions with wings Watchin hell bein freezing (Uh) You can go call all your popular demons and wizards and witches and lizards and preachers They build more prisons than places for teachers Prostitute freedom, gave us fake leaders Broke out the paint, and made a fake Jesus Broke off the noses to make a fake Egypt Greek like Adonis, Nike and Adidas Talisons made from Osiris's penis Legacy stolen, statues of Venus Asses the sizes of Rome Colosseum Juggernauts, Cyclops, and Titans eat Hagen-Dazs Waiting in Babylon, return of The Astronauts
[Chorus: cuts and scratches by DJ Zeph] "Get the people's hands up above" "Get-Get, Get, Get respect and love worldwide" <- Talib Kweli "WORLDWIDE!" <- KRS-One
[Azeem] Tricked y'all, didn't I? (Nope!) Not never will I take a likkle break - and not, sound, better (ah!) I wrote this words with the feather Ran outta ink And use tears from the devil He taught me how to succeed He said, "Rest is a weapon, your enemy is SLEEP!" No matter what they think A soldier with no enemy Will never know his own strength So the music is richer (Yeaaah~!) And all the beats sound thicker (Uh-huh) And all my lyrics are pictures I wrote this image, so you see what a prince is Another way to depict it That tunnel with that light you could see from a distance With flames and black fists liftin the sentence And crush the metropolis (yep), just as predicted That's a beautiful vision I just painted Armageddon and made it sound like heaven That's just how we livin I told you that the roof's on fire, I really meant it
[Chorus]
[Azeem] ...Follow me If angels had fingers connected to strings We would be puppets and love would be king War wouldn't be a word of any worth They made Earth on hell out of heaven on Earth Fly scriptures above skyscrapers with chemical planes spray POISON over East Berlin And over Oakland Where the gangstas live +No Lotion+ like Capleton - ROUGH, it's war outside (uh-huh) I cry for Natalie, I heard she died I hope I see you on the other side of town Infinite, God mind, I'm livin in it Out of body and I'm leavin all this alien genetics with it Hop a ship with some Pleiadians and travel with them And head the +Venus+ for +Serena+-shaped women (yeah) Ancient mind, metric vision I turn ink to wine And get the sky drunk with it
[Chorus]
[Outro] Yuh DUN kno~! DJ Zeph, Azeem Spend time wise
