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 ??, dogin' duce duce 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]

{"Take these words home and think it through"}

{"Greater mission, I hope that you're listening"}

[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]

{"Take these words home and think it through"}

{"Greater mission, I hope that you're listening"}
