[length: 03:53]
[00:01.03](You’ll soon depart. *echoes from the last track*)
[00:06.13]Chorus: malik b (2x)
[00:07.08]Yo, the feet that I walk with
[00:07.95]The ears that I hear with, the eyes that I see with
[00:10.79]The mouth that I talk with, the terror that I stalk with
[00:13.94]Now it’s time to spark shit
[00:26.49][Malik b]
[00:26.77]Look god, I walk around a little edgy already
[00:29.08]Y’all mc’s come into my face, but my aim’s steady
[00:31.68]M-illitant is skilled in most strategic plan
[00:34.00]I float across seas and, breezed across land
[00:37.03]Standin, in these thoughts of murder within
[00:39.47]The structure of this world that’s corrupted with sin
[00:41.86]I’m always hittin, to leave mc’s guessin
[00:44.56]For any transgression, in my perimeter
[00:47.01]There will be a blessing, and your explicit intoxicated
[00:50.04]Buddha session, to stop stressin
[00:52.02]Me with the madness, puttin niggaz on my had list
[00:54.97]No sadness is felt, you shuffled and your cards get dealt
[00:58.01]Jim carrey ass niggaz start to melt
[01:00.25]Impact like a buckle bein swung from off a belt
[01:02.88]Any help for shelter, when in the realms of a welter
[01:05.53]My weight will tilt ya, hold alignments and change your filter
[01:08.29]My attitude a product of society
[01:10.45]So sometimes for gratitude, you know you can’t rely on me
[01:12.96]Niggaz eyein me, with looks of they anxiety
[01:15.91]Wonderin what’s in my heart, velocity or piety
[01:19.18]Yo, it depends on which one, you bring to surface
[01:21.28]At times I get trife, but what to worship is my purpose
[01:23.79]Malik b blend with the tree, to spot an enemy
[01:26.51]You cloggin me up cat, now vacant the vicinity
[01:29.00]Chorus
[01:48.72][Malik b]
[01:49.79]I’m symbolic to a ballot, it’s abdul malik
[01:52.36]Don’t approach with bullshit, I’m quick to call it invalid
[01:55.32]Route through your district, we keep it simplistic
[01:57.83]No need for the rapper to talk, put it on halt
[02:00.35]Show me the vault, or the safe, cause I’m on the paper chase
[02:02.80]Wade through route states for bout thirty down my waist
[02:05.41]I’m tryin to get it, these rain bottlin thoughts become acidic
[02:08.14]With one in the chamber, ready to aim and spit it
[02:10.80]A girlfriend and team made nigga cash just splintered
[02:13.44]I take what you got to give, cause I got to live
[02:16.02]The last hour, I bet your ass?
[02:18.78]Might act up, but I still can pass dowa
[02:21.31]I’m usin new ways to try to reach these better days
[02:23.83]Instead of tryin to take you under I just make you wonder
[02:26.52]I still fast, make salaat, and pay zakaat
[02:29.23]I didn’t make haj yet, but that’s my next project
[02:31.91]Livin two lives, one of turn and one with true lies
[02:34.54]Keepin a hoe, knowin these hands into my du’a
[02:36.98]In the quarters livin modest with my nigga trotter
[02:39.50]I circle my foes, like tawaf around the kaba
[02:42.18]I used to live life, like there was no manana
[02:44.98]Now I’m treatin every breath, like it was your honor
[02:47.55]I’m mill-itill-itant with the fifth that stand firm
[02:49.84]Like a pillar, I’m I and t-l like manilla
[02:52.79]Chorus 2x
[03:13.24]This is what it’s all about (7x)
