Well ah, good evening my Nubian brothers and sisters ah Tonight we got a really big show ah really big show ah Conducting his Concerto in X Minor We have, the brother, Derek X Ahh, his theme tonight, will be on Racism, in a New York, backdrop Brother Derek X Ah yes yes yes thank you thank you thank you And all of that, yo Before I get this wreck I want to give a strong shout To all the positive brothers and sisters that's out there And I just want to let y'all know Who I came down here with I slid in here with Lord J And Alamo with the A And I came to get wreck, like this I'm kinda blessed so I wrote this manifesto for life Co-signed by the others with a knife On the real tip let's take a field trip from the ghetto You pick the time and we'll meet in the meadow To discuss racial issues and tension New York's a powder keg did I forget to mention? Now case in point y'all remember that Brooklyn Bridge joint When things got wild and willy? Yeah that day the Feds played the role of the bully "Up against the car" "Yo I ain't even do nuttin' man" "Ayo shut up or eat this night stick" "Yo why you pushin' me, why you hittin' me man?" Now Huey Newton was slain and we all felt the pain Of Yusef Hawkins, and they was mad but we was squakin' They tried to show a false compassion, yet at the rally They tried to bash in our brains Further adding to the bloodstains I was mad at this news and so was my brothers And I wanted to get violent but I'm a lover of black mothers And black mothers need sons Not children that's been killed by guns It's, just another form of slavery, a modern day lynchin' The others get reward, the black man feels the tension Inside, not out to hide, just provides us all the answer I will stop racial injustice if I get the chance to Now, the Civilized man's main goal is to teach And I try to achieve this with verbal outreach In my community, and all outlaying counties Spread the message of good with my Now Rule mighty Step up to the right, dispense and be known Remember what I said is to teach your own At home first, and as we disperse I sparks your head like a cloudburst Ya don't stop, ya don't quit Derek X I'm guaranteed to be the ultimate (Brother Derek X) I kicks the flavor So bust that I drop the stack from an almanac It's all truth so it's got to be a shown fact So keep on this is the dawn of the Capricorn Turtle A rhyme that I kick is stored daily in my journal Or my diary when speakin' on the black man I gets fiery The record's in the record store, category's black war Best you ever saw and it comes in a three or a four pack In a month or two I'll be back To confer with you on both of my works In my contract, I get crazy perks from Elektra See me kick this rhyme and I covered the whole spectrum This is the final verse, grand finale in Crescendo Message substance of the X cannot be thrown out the window Unseen, lean two years past the teen Never use makeup got a natural sheen It's like that y'all let's have a ball I'm Derek X about six feet tall Yeah and as I stop this wreck for one sec I want to give a shout to the Grand Puba Also to club kid Marley Marl ("I understand that time is running out") Pete Rock from the Vernon I want to give a shout to Mike P and Cherokee also in Tucson ("I understand that time is running out") Rich with the carry on I want to give a shout to all the Gods in Now Rule ("Understand that time is running out") Melacasis, Sea and my man True Born I want to give a shout to Big Bob ("Time is running out") Scooby Real and the whole Mob from the Stallion Mark the Spark And I'm outta here
