Thoughts? When do yall think the verse was recorded?
I tarried through the turbulent month of Ramadan Sweating all through the night just like the Holy Prophet Then reappeared on the stage in BK with the Ummah Shoulder to shoulder with J Cole and Kweli Just before Jehovah the God crowned me the king with his goldie locket Alhamdulillah, we've come really far, ain't it? The little engine who could, could power any car can't it? The mothers in Chiraq say the murders getting burdensome The cries of the despised was heard flying out of Ferguson The last days and times The holy Quran and Bible we on the last page and line The verse with all the babies dying Outside of the matrix, inside of the spaceship but the savior's blind Or so it seems, years after Noah was told he would row upstream The heavens bursted and the rains came Retaliation for the sons of the fathers who worked the chain gangs I hit that shmoney dance on the coffin of a crooked cop In a Worldstar society where all we do is look and watch No intervention, policemen beating elderly women with evil intentions on the highways and the byways The police state be sprayed into the backstreet to the driveways Officer friendly is an enemy now, looking at me sideways Shit was all bad just a week ago The view was just as sad just a peep ago The cries of the asiatic ancient-semitic peoples that propel Jay Elec from the pedestal to the steeple
