Think it Through

[Verse 1] Attack fame with cerebral cortex in your brains So my effects will remain long after the trends change Son, I'll bend your name, rearrange your molecules Amongst hip-hop dudes, Brother Ali be droppin' jewels Impossible to fool, I'm like Picasso with the tool A fossil, old-school rapper passing all the rules Never hostile to your crew but colossal with my moves When my face is in the place y'all start droppin' that stool I did a lot in schools and that three years are cool But known as about a Muslim MC Super-duper Brother Ali is rockin' goofies and loose jeans The last years Timberlands, dodgin' deuce-deuce teams Who seem to wanna wet me cause they girlfriends sweat me For the way I interact with my peers, they respect me Because I respect them And let them speak the peace and get my two cents in My conversation was deep back then [Hook] (x4) {"Take these words home and think it through"} {"Greater mission, I hope that you're listening"} [Verse 2] Brother Ali sign the dotted line On the architectural design in your mind And redesign your outline I shout rhymes through a dynamic mic Automatic hype and if I'm slammin right Change the way you look at your life And all you can say is Ali came to shook it tonight And just stand back shake your head and look at the sight And now my soul can breathe a sigh of relief For squashing all prior beef cause don't nobody wanna die on the streets Rely on the beats to save ya, you'll never get help Get a chance to go for self And what you do? Go for self I got a wealth of wisdom So I skip the player themes Instead I'm aiming off the hot sense of your brain with laser beams My ways and means have always produced amazing scenes Not like the phony fellas, come at you fake like Maybeline But got major cream Whenever I, label jeans But when I get up in your brain I reawaken your dreams Know what I mean? [Hook] (x4) [Verse 3] I've got a mission to add traditions to the inscriptions on your cognitions Supervising with provisions You wouldn't understand why Ali is here But when the student is prepared the teacher appears And I've been speaking for years of passage you got that? You still tryin' to understand the metaphor for where hip-hop at Have you ever thought that every time you listen to a track That's four minutes of your life that you can never get back? And that's a hell of an investment So when MC's blessing We gotta think very hard about the message I ain't tryin' to hear about you sippin Crystal in the Bahamas When I'm drinkin Nestle Quik on a crowed bus full of maecenas And give us appetite to check by knowledge I'm starving for Versace but you never mention college So I'm supposed to get it and be a rap star like you How many of us can do that for real? Very few If I sell drugs, or die, or go to jail, or go to hell either way If you keepin' it real how come there's no truth to what you say? Remember this, we make rap stars rich and company's even richer I aim for your brain until you get the picture [Hook] (x4)
