One two

Comin for you

Yo yo yo

Last night, I didn't know what to write

so I broke my pen in half, in a violent rage

Opened my journal, then let the ink bleed on the page

until it formed a sihlouette, of me on stage

Still abstract, like unidentified objects

Find my name scrawled on the walls of your projects

like hieroglyphs, written in cryptic form

to forewarn the comin apocalyptic storm

I dreamt of fire, swallowin this wicked empire

and saw the entire world hurled into destruction

With their inequity, trickery and corruption

Caught you with your pants down, in the Oval Office

when the Messiah came, without an introduction

Too late to escape your fate, though many have tried

The pens have been lifted, the pages have dried

It was all prophesized like comets, droppin from the skies

causin earthquakes, and whole cities to capsize

My peoples dyin while you tryin to save the Earth

You need to stop lyin and SAVE YOURSELF FIRST

Still, they wonder why, I chant the battle cry

It's not that I'm anti, it's just that I can't lie

The only thing I stand against, is ignorance

but you call it hate, when I advocate, self-defense

What's the battle cry??? ?? ??

What's the battle cry?Allah U Akbar

What's the battle cry??? ?? ??

What's the battle cry?Allah U Akbar

Now put the Ak' on, as I presume to rock on

Leavin spots torn, whenever we lock horns

Come battle me, and that'll be your last mission

When you hear the boom, assume the crass position

Somebody tell my opposition, stop the mission

Mental giant's about to drop science, listen

.. to the ancient tribal drum

Close your eyes and nod your head and the vibe'll come

from the base of your spine

.. to a place in your mind that transcends all space and time

The legendary lonely wolf roam the prairie

Hug your kids tight, midnight, quite scary

Under fire, movin through this concrete jungle

Feelin trapped, wishin I had a gun, with nowhere to run to

I hear helicopters, I see buildigns begin to crumble

I feel somethin hot -- I've been shot!I stumble

I blackout, then when I come to, I'm trapped

in the concentration camp, with a government stamp

Some type of microchip implant

made in the factory, that's what they use for trackin me

So if I try to escape, over the gate

the guards will attack, and put a bullet in my back

They stripped me of my identity, my name, my religion

Now I'm just a number in the system

Holdin on to nothin, but my convictions

and cold steel bars, waitin on Jar Jar to lick them

Still, they wonder why, I chant the battle cry

It's not that I'm anti, it's just that I can't lie

The only thing I stand against, is ignorance

but you call it hate, when I advocate, self-defense

What's the battle cry??? ?? ??

What's the battle cry?Allah U Akbar

What's the battle cry??? ?? ??

What's the battle cry?Allah U Akbar

Still, they wonder why, I chant the battle cry

Still, they wonder why, I chant the battle cry

?? ?? ??, until the day I die

Allah U Akbar his name I glorify

Still, they wonder why, I chant the battle cry

It's not that I'm anti, it's just that I can't lie
