[Hell Razah:] Aiyo peep it, I build like the pyramids of Egypt Born October the first, it was an eclipse Sittin' in the back of the Caddy with my daddy Raised off of Curtis, Al Green and Barry We came from the alleys to buildin' at rallies Now we see unity from Brooklyn to Cali I walk through the Valley of Death Y'all better go and carry a vest Cause ain't no batteries left I'm possesed by the spirits sometimes I'm Malcolm X I confessed to the church and reversed the bomb threat Bring the war to the Pentagon, I'll polly on in Babylon They make hits like Barry Bonds I drop jewels like Fahrakkhan Y'all niggaz only shine when them lights and cameras on A Renaissance Child is gone, say "Shalom" Open my palm and read "I'm a prophet of God"...

[Sabac Red:] Smell the endo, music blare out the windows The beats reign, peep fools that stare at my skintone Child of the eighties, crack and Reagenomics Wild as a baby, I'm back to pay homage Scarlets and windows, all the truth of my neighbors Front of New Yig's bodegga was the fruits of my labor The movers and fakers, justifyin' the blocks Bunch of losers and faggots in disguise with the cops The arrival of Watts and Bedstuy embracin' The economy shot, red eyes and made men Interrogation, evil, the trojan ain't protected by the nation of the people Buildin' schools they neglected A message from the Kings and Queens, Gods and Goddesses Aggressive in the scheme of things, heart of Spartacus Regardless if life ain't right or lookin' easy Creativity grows in Brooklyn, believe me
