Say Amen

Truth so heavy it could rumble the earth I dunked paint brush up in a bucket of words Ain’t nothing interrupting the urge Might cut you worse than unguarded love when it hurts Try to hold it in and my muscles will burst Do an Incredible Hulk through my shirt A verse make an old lady jump up in the church Pass a plate around pulling bucks out her purse Foremost and first my hunger and thirst Is not for no blood-stained paper but my love to be heard Reap what I sowed in the earth Now watch what emerge out a soul that’s disturbed Leaning on the very last nerve of you scary ass herbs Fake thugs and arrogant nerds Fuck no homo you a no home owning old grown Unsigned chump month behind on your car loan You got balls looking down on me Or got a mirror on the floor trying to find Ali And dressed flyly but so afraid to soar You’re all dressed up and got no place to go And so play a roll there’s no hope of living More like go broke pretending Your whole image is imagined I manage Low expectations high standards Hip Hop is the legacy of the jazz kings Kick rocks I’m one of the last standing Last thing I do is overstate the obvious Mainstream poppiness underground sloppiness Dumbed down thuggery and pussy hungry consciousness Revolution for sale greedy communist Seinfeld rap your show about nothing Poetry played it’s all about production Trying to get placements play like you’re famous Ain’t added greatness to nary a playlist Take this bitch take offense Or if it don’t apply let it fly say amen Time’s up on y’all posturing imposters I don’t give a damn if you’re starving or copping Oscars Out here grinding or floss in your ivory towers I don’t give a shit about your pants or how you rock em I ain’t bitter or backpacker or conscious Just want y’all the fuck out my ear with that nonsense From the office of Ali and Jake and them If you feel me raise a hand say amen
