DNA

Feel the music

Son, we got you programmed like a beat

When I press snare, Yo, guard your grill

Press kick, you move your feet

You can't compete

Got my hydrants parked on every street

I'm federal, NGH

Son of Sun

Come close and feel the heat

I am the streets

The white lines only seperate me from me

You hydroplane in false god's name and still crash into me

Sign and tree, mountainside, guardrail into the sea

They thought they stole you from my arms then carried you to me

Here's the key

DNA encoded in a beat

White rocks in a vial, NGH, ain't got nuthin on me

BCH I'm free

Ask these editors at MTV

Far as they know they're publishing some new school poetry

Let it be

'Cause even that will do to turn the key

Doorways into the other worlds

The truth shall set you free

You are me

I am you

But also I am he

Shepherd of a bastard flock that grazes in the streets

Feel the beat

Nod your head

Lean back

Yo, touch your feet

Let me see you pop that thang right there, girl, in your seat

Feal the heat

Count this page amongst your whitest sheets

Comfort in my every word

Slide under

Countless sheep

Hail Mary, Mother of God

Got the whole host of angels shuffling in my iPod

NGHs learned to raise their voices when I lowered my rod

Staff of Moses

Pharaoh knows it

Son, my word is my bond

Tune my heart with my mind

Speak my nature

Divine

Called this shit into existence back in '79

With the future in my pocket

Tightly gripped like a nine

Keep my finger on the trigger

Waitin for the right time

Ancient NGHs align!

Path of cosmic design

Blood of kings 'cause Saturn's ring don't need no diamonds to shine

Yes, the reason for the season

Ornamented, divine

Coded language of the mystics with my fist in the sky

Keep your head up

We present the real, my NGH

Dead up

Book of the Dead

History bled

This NGH fed up

Led us to despair, some into prayer, and they won't let up until they got up worshipping them false gods instead of the realness

God of the streets

My NGHs feel this

We nod our heads and worship through beats

Go 'head and kneel

It's the love that makes the cipher complete

And it's displayed through the way the bass line marries the beat
