For many though, this birthplace Of the automobile and organized labor Was seen as a promised land For twenty-five years Sudden Blacks migrated North, seeking middle-class prosperity But by the summer of 1967 Much of that hope had turned to hopelessness (yo) Yo, you that wrong, I crack a sky, a black dawn Put your Wallabies back on, it's time for a swarm You that wrong, get your Timberlands blacked on Jungle fatigues bulletproof vests back on Yo, I blow dimes all up in your way Spit a dart in your face You don't know me in the first place My birth date equivalent to forty earthquakes I smirk gray, poli' on streets where the motors leak Kids hold heat 'cause they place is cold My weight's in gold, turn about face behold The street scroll, never work slow, said wise old Elder, I hear beats like Helen Keller Feel 'em straight out the speaker to my animated blood flow Pass records around like contaminated needle, heave-ho My sound heavy like tree fall, I flee halls, bleed through gauze Carry Grim Reaper in millimeter form and spill a liter for him Born to take any soul Relentless Henny flow, chops heads like guillotines Smoke Philly's with my queen, I'm still in the machine Dt's at my day job, talking bout the date room They may drown me, my shadow too vicious Can't keep 'em around me, hide 'em under the hoody He live like Whitney, intelligent like Eli We ride like the Jitney Pass time like a clock used for a Frisbee George Roll, Wallstreet, that's the shoes that fit me Yo, you that wrong, I crack a sky, a black dawn Put your Wallabies back on, it's time for a swarm You that wrong, get your Timberlands blacked on Jungle fatigues bulletproof vests back on Burn a building, Wu-Tang bats all in the sky Causing a black day, I see through the eye Of a tornado, false feed with greater ladles Tower of Babel labels, follow room when I call the chrome Go home, lord, I slice you I engineer trains of thought, diabolical molecules Light skin marksmen, part ten in your follicles Twelve men equipped, seven rappers can vouch too About you fuckin' with me, my Clan emblem Remember where it came from 'fore I cock and aim one Dart at the cranium, f*ck up your suit coat These rhymes I wrote, aimed at the Ivory Coast Piano keys I tap like a nervous child's knee I served in the streets for the army of God Bring your bomb squad, national guard, I'm passin' through bars Escapin' prison, armed with great vision God-given heredity, better be The armed bank robber with pedigree Yo, you that wrong, I crack a sky, a black dawn Put your Wallabies back on, it's time for a swarm You that wrong, get your Timberlands blacked on Jungle fatigues bulletproof vests back on Think Differently
