**Verse 1:**  
We took a cab straight to Oghara Teaching Hospital,  
Patients all around, confusion was palpable.  
But luck was on our side, a doctor took note,  
Seeing she was a foreigner, he’d help us cope.

Where i'm from dem ah show you hospitality
Where i'm from dem ah love your personality
Where i'm from if you run up ya mouth too much
Before you know they put a hole in ya memory

The heart is the general, the eyes are the scouts
The fists are the arrows, the body is the bow
All movements have to be manual

I'm the 7 in the center of the sun, I keep shinin'
My inner light would turn my baby's tear drop to small diamonds
That be twinklin' while my love be sprinklin'
We stay young while y'all old wicked faces be wrinklin'

Allah's the most gracious, He made the universe the most spacious
Seen and heard in all places but still appear faceless
Embraces all races, all caste and all cases
In every spec of life He's the substance of all traces

The answer to all questions, the spark of all suggestions
Of righteousness, the pathway to the road of perfection
Who gives you all and never ask more of you
The faithful companion that fights every war with you

Before the mortal view of the prehistorical, historical
He's the all and all, you searchin' for the oracle
A mission impossible, purely philosophical
But you call Him on your death bed when you layin' in the hospital

And as you play all day like the grasshopper who work and toil
Like armies of ants carryin' stones of soil
Building a home for themselves and storin' food
At night we praise Allah and adore the moon

In sync like the flow of the Nile, the growth of a child
Only fearin' God, we greet a ghost with a smile
That which is spirit is spirit, which is flesh is flesh
Meanin' life has no partnership with death

Yo, I've been highly misunderstood by those who met us
They had ears of corn and heads of lettuce
Mentally dead, essentially lead by the false teachings
And eventually pledge their allegiance

To that which was against them and exempt them from the truth
Then juiced them and pimped them to give an entice
So the church could rise while their babies home hungry
Covered with flies, tryin' to harness the wind

Allah's the Father from without and within
On Christ return, who will announce Him?

I'll invite truth of lust and hair
The teachings never turned out right
Crash land down on a mission (now)
The teachings never turned out right
I will give you my eye
The teachings never turned out right

Well we, we come, down from

Men from the boys, boys from the men
Men from the boys, boys from the men
Men from the boys, boys from the men
Men from the boys, boys from the men

Out of the factory 
Out on a hospital bed
The city needs my friend
The city loves you

[Intro]
Breathing in silence, throat tight like a noose
Years of tradition got me feeling confused
Family legacy weighing down on my soul
Watch it fade like smoke, yeah, that's how the story goes

[Verse 1]
Grandma's voice used to shake the temple walls
Now cancer's eating at her vocal cords, watching her fall
Still teaching me pansori through the hospital haze
Her legacy lives in my lungs, but I'm trapped in this maze
Studio lights burning, my throat getting raw
Trying to be perfect till I can't sing anymore
Label wants hits, but I'm losing my grip
Every note I sing feels like I'm starting to slip

[Chorus]
Phantom breath, can't catch it no more
Years of pressure got me down on the floor
Inherited pain, yeah, it flows through my veins
Sweet decay of a legacy I can't maintain

[Verse 2]
Fuck these expectations, crushing my spine
Trapped between tradition and this modern grind
Pop pills for the pain, but they don't help me sing
When every verse I spit feels like I'm losing my wings
Memory of her voice fading day by day
But the weight of her dreams still making me sway
Between who I am and who I should be
This throat cancer of the soul setting me free

[Bridge]
Sometimes I hear her singing in my dreams
Ancient melodies turning into screams
Am I strong enough to carry this weight?

Mercy on My Soul

Touch Down 2 Cause Hell

2015

Have mercy on my soul, shine on
Have have mercy, have have mercy
On my soul, shine on me
Lord shine on, oh

First off I wanna apologize
Every time I made my momma cry
Leaving these pussy ass niggas traumatized
All the bad names I called ya when Lil Bleek and Lil Ivy died
Bless me over and over again
I know he bless me the more I was sin
Guess I was moving too fast in the wind
Got tied and put my ass in the pen
Now I'm looking at the past, thinking 'bout the future
Glad I got another chance, see ya feeling's mutual
Protect me in the streets when the times got crucial
When niggas slung iron, you made me blind to the shooters
And now I'm all alone and I'm calling on you daily
Asking for forgiveness and I'm asking you to save me
Protect my T-lady , don't stress my old lady
And you and I know how much I love my seven babies

Have have mercy, have have mercy
On my soul, shine on me
Lord shine on, oh

Thinking 'bout them nights that my momma cried
Only son since my only brother died
Surgery on surgery, I can feel the pain
Have mercy on the Lord, please don't let her hurt again
God you blessed my auntie Brenda be the living proof
Had a tumour in the brain size of a grapefruit
It's for them ghetto saviours that's living major
Now they missing like the flight 370 to Malaysia
We was skinning and grinning, thought we was winning
Heard it's hot in Hell so I'm packing linen
And lately my conscience been shaking me, waking me right about my sleep
Keep it 100, I ain't slipping 'bout a week, hey look
Gotta do it for my little cousin Trasity
See her boyfriend took her life
When I think about the daughter that she left behind
Pardon me, can't let see a gangsta cry, Lord have mercy

Have have mercy, have have mercy
On my soul, shine on me
Lord shine on, oh

I was lost in a world-wind, now I'm sorry
Five different baby mama's coulda been on Maury
Staying up all night, smoking purp for hours
Can't even get my ass off to church a couple hours
Beefing with the enemy, teaching my son wrong things
In and out the hospital on that strong lean
Looking at the phone ring knowing it's my auntie
Knowing that she tryna pray for me, but I don't accept it
Now I'm selfish, not to others but myself
'Cause I'm feeling like nobody know my struggle, just my wealth
But that was then and this is now and since you gave me another chance
God man I'mma promise I make ya proud
Lotta times I screamed to ya, felt like you ain't hear me
You ain't heard me 'cause I wasn't worthy, sins dirty dirty
Thugs cry, no lie had to hit my niece
Like please please, have mercy on me

Have have mercy, have have mercy
On my soul, shine on me
Lord shine on, oh

A wise man said, "Knowledge is king
Know thyself and you can do anything
Know thyself and you could shine like bling
Know thyself and you're the king of the ring," ha
But they don't teach kids nothin'
All they know is iPad, sugar in their muffin
They don't know division, don't add to nothing
Send them off to prison when you know they did nothing
He in the streets 'cause he always cuttin'
The teacher ain't teaching him nothin'
All they do was stuffin' 'em and stuffin' 'em
Stuffin' 'em and stuffin' 'em and stuffin' 'em
Stuffin' 'em and stuffin' 'em and stuffin' 'em
Stuffin' 'em with stuff he can't use
So he sell crack, that's what he know to do
His daddy was a hustler, so he hustle too
And that's why you see the lil' killer in the news
It's kinda like they got us in the trap
It's kinda like they knowin' how we act
I'll be like, "Fuck your fuckin' laboratory, I am not a rat
I am light, I am God body, wise to the fact"
Wake up!

The Day After

Tragedy

Vengeance

2006

The skin hangs from bodies that tried to run from a blinding flash 
The children have no mouths with which to speak, were they ever alive? 

An empty shell now stands where yesterday a hospital stood, medicating the sick with more sickness?

An empty shell now stands where yesterday a schoolhouse stood, teaching children how to follow orders

A graveyard of smokestacks stands where yesterday stood factories, mass producing useless products, mass producing greed

All that remains are the stacks and stacks of radiated corpses, all that remains are the piles upon piles of our excessive debris, all that remains are the skeletons of the once alive.. all that remain's..

Took me out of darkness now I'm shining
You said you'll never leave me or forsake me
You showed me life is better you gave me vision
Oh yes you did
Savior
Oh jesus
You reign forever
Savior
Oh jesus
You reign
So many nights drowning in my tears
One day with you is like a thousand years
Shook all the scales that covered my eyes
Came a long way he was right by my side
He brought me back to where I belong
I was gone Gone
So far away
Caught up in flesh heart full of sin
They were telling me lies
I became hopeless
Twenty eighteen i panicked i was scared
Then i heard his voice in that hospital bed
Four years later
No more fears
This is for the ones who need hope yea
If the son sets you free
You will be free
If you hold
To the teaching
If you hold
To the teaching
Here is what the spirit is saying today
Savior
Oh jesus
You reign forever
Savior
Oh jesus
You reign forever

Took me out of darkness now I'm shining
You said you'll never leave me or forsake me
You showed me life is better you gave me vision
Oh yes you did
Savior
Oh jesus
You reign forever
Savior
Oh jesus
You reign
So many nights drowning in my tears
One day with you is like a thousand years
Shook all the scales that covered my eyes
Came a long way he was right by my side
He brought me back to where I belong
I was gone Gone
So far away
Caught up in flesh heart full of sin
They were telling me lies
I became hopeless
Twenty eighteen i panicked i was scared
Then i heard his voice in that hospital bed
Four years later
No more fears
This is for the ones who need hope yea
If the son sets you free
You will be free
If you hold
To the teaching
If you hold

Here is what the spirit is saying today

You reign forever

Oh jesus
You reign forever

Six feet apart
Try to keep a tender heart
Subscribe to the powers that be
Freedom succumbs to hegemony

Twenty Seconds
Public only for errands
Teaching for money through a screen
Survival curated by machine

Social distancing
Ever isolating
The only "right" thing
Is this faulty reasoning?

They tryna kill the prophet

Barnabas
Metropolis

My mind is colossal 
The class that im teaching is logical

Put together, and its looking phenomenal

Bismillah, Bismillah
I am Islamical

The knowledge in tune
Yes, I am a proper dude

Yes yes yes yes
Im in the Prada too

This is the Art Of War
Yes I am Sun Zeus

I was reading Leviticus
Had to park the flying discus

The knowledge in tune
Can I hit it

Fiasco type action
Got people asking

Whats God Zeus and his tactics

The wisdom I got 
It is magic

I was the one teaching classes

I am a mystic
You can not miss it
I think your man
He was found up missing

I need a half a mill
Land in Tibet

God Zeus
Fly in a jet

I landed the mothership
Just to teach them how to get checks

Did you get that

Ice age wrist
Took em back to the Stone Age

I 8 Whip
Did that back in my old days

Extra terrestrial 
I will not flex for you

The mark of the beast
Is on you
Got the best of you

Hospitals putting micro chips in babes
And no one give a fuck if you drive Mercedes

But i might do S550 
Im crazy

The ancient knowledge I got
It just changed me

Egyptian Imhotep
Look at the work

Then we intercept

Moshkilli bang it 
Moshkilli bang it

We tryna be rich
You can forget being famous

It was a quick kill, painless
Rick Owens mask, faceless

This is a Sparkheem beat, cadence
And your man he was on the pavement, brainless

They tryna kill the prophet

Barnabas
Metropolis

My mind is colossal 
The class that im teaching is logical

Put together, and its looking phenomenal

Bismillah, Bismillah
I am Islamical

The knowledge in tune
Yes, I am a proper dude

Yes yes yes yes
Im in the Prada too

This is the Art Of War
Yes I am Sun Zeus

[Intro]
Static in my veins, power lines down
Born in darkness, emergency crown
First breath I took was in shadows deep
While the backup gen' kept my mama's heart on beat

[Verse 1]
Came into this world when the grid went black
Hospital lights flickering, ain't no turning back
Daddy in the hallway, lighter flame glow
Teaching me survival before I could even know
They profile him at checkpoints, but he stands tall
I inherited that strength through hospital walls
Banlieue nights taught me more than schools ever could
Where every blackout means the hood's misunderstood

[Chorus]
When the power's out, we shine the brightest
System failures make us the finest
Born in darkness, but we still rise
Blackout babies with electric eyes
(Electric eyes, electric eyes)

[Verse 2]
Classical keys mixed with street poetry
Arabic drums speaking ancestry
Every power cut's just another test
Proving we survive through this mess
They think darkness gonna keep us down
But we been glowing since they dimmed this town
Each disruption makes us stronger now
Breaking through the static, showing them how

[Bridge]
Static... silence... then we break through
Like emergency lights, we cutting right through
Can't dim our spirit, can't kill our groove
Even in darkness, watch how we move

[Outro]
Born in blackout, living in light
Emergency power running through the night
System's failing but we still exist
Through every darkness, we still persist

Don't know where I coulda been
If I wasn't doin' this thing right here, shit, yo

If I wasn't rappin' I probably be wrastlin'
Hand to hand grapplin' on the corner of Madison
Or real-estating, trying to sell you a mansion
Or rollerblading doing three-sixty flat spins
Or I'd probably be flipping a burger
Attempting a murder, paralyzed sippin' on Gerber
I could be working at Jewels, chain snatching
Jerking your jewels, homeless working for food
I might be cleaning your pool, teaching your school, preaching to fools
Leeching, smoking weed to be cool
At DMV's holding lines up
Or wind up in line-ups, the time's up
Full of holes in a hole in a fine tux
Out on parole, out of control, holding your dime up
I could be lazy, sitting on your couch
Or I could be crazy, cussing pigeons out

I could be hustlin' bags
Strugglin' bad
If I wasn't up in the lab, shit
I just might be cuttin' your grass
Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas
Or nothin' at all

I could be hustlin' bags
Strugglin' bad
If I wasn't up in the lab, shit
I just might be cuttin' your grass
Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas
Or nothin' at all

I could be thanking the academy
A friend of the family, your man delivering bail
Or I could be the man that delivers your mail
Or I could be taking the stand drinking on L
This could be my third life, my third strike
Or my third wife, or garbage on my first mic
I could've got off easy, that nigga deserved life
Or the Orkin man searching for termites
I could be sticking up convenience stores
Or twisting up what you fiending for
Or gettin' bucked with the meanest whores
Or been giving up, on top of a building leaning forward, with no wings to soar it
They could've kidnapped my daughters
Been extorted for a couple of Porsches
I might be drunk from the Moe', stumblin' slow
Someone you know, running the show, or shoveling snow, shit

I could be hustlin' bags
Strugglin' bad
If I wasn't up in the lab, shit
I just might be cuttin' your grass
Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas
Or nothin' at all

I could be hustlin' bags
Strugglin' bad
If I wasn't up in the lab, shit
I just might be cuttin' your grass
Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas
Or nothin' at all

I could be starting guarding, or planting the garden, or security guarding
Or I could be starving and eating out your garbage
And found stardom and starring in sitcoms with Martin
I could've been marching with Martin
Handcuff, nullface, over the face with no comment
I might not even be dark-skinned
I might not even be conscious, comatose from a overdose
A R&B singer blowing the notes
A tailor sewing the coat, a sailor rowing the boat
I could've boxed a little, fought for the title
Lost, and lost my vitals on the way to the hospital
I could've lost my business
Won the lotto and lost my ticket
I could be the last one to cross the finish
Shit, I could be you, I could be him, he could be me, we all got a job

Shit, I just might be cuttin' your grass
Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas
Or nothin' at all

I could be hustlin' bags
Strugglin' bad
If I wasn't up in the lab, shit
I just might be cuttin' your grass
Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas
Or nothin' at all

I could be hustlin' bags
Strugglin' bad
If I wasn't up in the lab, shit
I just might be cuttin' your grass
Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas
Or nothin' at all

I used to think Jamaicans Were angry
When they conversed
Patois from my eighth Grade teacher
Before I'd book a girl I'd Rehearse
Way before I'd use Couplets in a verse
Within the confines of my Blinds I immerse
Before I role reverse lay up A verse
With minimal curse
I used to record at listen Vision
Across from the old Ujima Book store
Where there were Teachings from Diop
Galore
My father stayed hours for
He trained me a Disciplined youngin
Vibing to Poor righteous Teachers on the floor
Not knowing the eons of Studies
It took to compile these Books
And had our ancestors Hands bloody
DJ Awthentik mixed and Mastered my first Demo
I was broke in one thousand dollar fits From Up against
The wall but I didn't get The memo

I see you I see myself

That I was under the class Of a limo
Before Cashapp and Venmo
House behind Howard U Is where
They going and get it in Moe
Before gentrification and
Don't mute DC crescendo
I remember T where Seventh turned into
Georgia Ave
Where my slimes pitched Slabs
In the drab
And junkies confab
The CVS was a homeless Haven
If you had Eddie's you Were brave then
Foams and ACG no Payless saving
Backyard perform sons Spanking opps
Run saving slim on the Ground shit caved in

Plenty faces

I’m taking it easy, but I can talk greasy like the rest of em,

Sick, twisted down in the gutter, like the best of em,

I’ll snatch a newborn brat quick, snap they neck like a matchstick, then throw em in the ratpit with my bad bitch,

Stay till the last twitch, every inch tasted,

The biggest thing in her shit’ll be the hospital bracelet,

The biohazardous waste-maker, 
Razor through flesh face-taker, 
The victim got so scared, he regurgitated his pacemaker....

[Intro]
Static in my veins, power running low
But my heart's a generator that won't let go

[Verse 1]
Dimmed lights in the projects, but we still shine bright
Pops standing tall when they pulled him aside that night
Emergency backup when the grid went down
Crown of dignity while they made him hit the ground
Classical keys meet the concrete streets
Where Mozart's ghost haunts these trap beats
Born to the sound of machines keeping time
While daddy's words echoed through hospital chimes

[Chorus]
Generator heart, never let it die
When they cut the power, we amplify
Generator heart, running through the dark
When they try to dim us, we leave our mark

[Verse 2]
They thought they could break him with their badges and pride
But my old man's spirit's something you can't divide
Spitting poetry while they ran his ID
Teaching me strength through adversity
Fuck their system trying to pull our plug
We stay generating power through the flood
Every blackout just makes us glow harder
Every shutdown makes our hearts beat smarter

[Bridge]
Sometimes the current's weak
But we never stop the flow
When they try to drain our power
That's when we put on the show

[Verse 3]
Born in the flicker of emergency lights
Now I'm lighting up darkness every damn night
Sampling memories of daddy's voice
When they gave him no choice but he made his choice
Standing ten feet tall on his knees
Teaching me dignity can't be seized
Now my bars power up the whole block
Every verse a surge that they can't stop

[Outro]
Generator heart keeps beating strong
Even when the whole world's power's gone
Generator heart won't ever fade
This is Power Outage Poetry made

Verse 2
Now one day I could be a worker
I could be a worker on a factory floor
Or one day I could be a doctor
I could be a doctor in a hospital
Or one day I could be a postman
I could be a postman in a bright red van
Or one day I could be a waiter
I could be a waiter with a plate in my hand 

Verse 3
Now one day I could be a pilot
I could be a pilot of a big white plane
Or one day I could be a driver
I could be a driver of a passenger train
Or one day I could be a sailor
I could be a sailor on the deep blue sea
Or one day I could be teacher
I could be a teacher teaching someone like me

These demons in my head putting on a show

[Outro]
Forty-one degrees, still burning up inside
But maybe this fever's teaching me to survive

In West Africa, a man's eyes became very bad
For three months he laid in a hospital bed
No meds could cure the pain that he had
Til the night that he dreamed of his passed away dad
He said, son, there's no cure for you here in this place
Remember the ways of tradition, it stays
In your heart's intuition, there your vision awakes
The very next day, the surgeon arrived
The procedure was prepped, but the man had declined
Discharged from his bed, he stumbled alone
Until he discovered a tree by the road
Remembering his teachings, he cut the tree down
And burned it with castor oil on the ground
As the tree burned, he gazed at the flames
And slowly the pain started fading away
The dreamer's not the one who's setting a goal
They are but a vessel for tales to be told
To others, to open the world when in fear
The dreamer shares wisdom for others to hear
Some dreams that we have are meant to be lost
To find them the moment our paths finally cross
I held what it meant to believe in a dream
Somewhere at the floor of the waves in the sea
If reality hits, I'll swim back to sleep
To drown, to escape
Soon I'll meet
Tsunamis I'll greet
Like the secrets I keep
In this record
Receive
The dreams I release

Oh-oh
Woo, I love you
All I wanted
Boo-boo-boo-boom

In search of right like the birth of Christ
Breakin' every generational curse in life
Perverse concise make sure the verse is right
Return who adverse to the Earth
Make sure that my hearse is white
And the contract Jewish, to match a grind that's foolish
A Quran that's Buddhist
Rappin' so Mike Caren and Denaun stack moolah
As I sign on the dotted line with the passion of a blind tattooist
In reaction to slithers from lizards mouth
Yelawolf this is your first and your last pass
I ain't gon' put it on blast, your punk ass know what this about
You think it's 'bout being loud or tryna be hostile
'Til you get found face down on the ground outside of Kid Rock house
Though you a vulture pundit, I hope you get sober from this
Men lie, women lie, so do numbers
The energy never lies when you a over comer
The energy never dies when you a over comer
I don't rhyme for the likes, I'm who the jealous target
I'm underground for life this shit is a cellar's market
The rich get richer, the po' get mo' greedy
We need Clarance A. to get what's owed in these board meetings
Rappers catch Ls after just squeezing 'em four Feezys
Crackers pattern themselves after the teachings of Morris Levy
But I was dubbed the greatest by the gossip
I'm King Tut to haters from this Spyder cockpit
It's Jacob Custom makes me fire watches
Inspired by Cool J drivin' Saabs
With Cut Creator right beside him drivin' Mazdas
I was labeled "drug-related" by the coppers
A government that through the republic
Has been subjugated by the mobsters
Martin got shot on the Lorraine balcony, became alchemy
Was spit on at the hospital when suffocated by the doctors
Michael was sniped at six at night, precisely by a laser
Mac Miller died pleadin' for his life, reciting God's prayer
Immaculately conceived, the product of Nas' labor
Ain't shit like me, I'm Chris Lighty, I'm Violator
Dedicated to the edification of sellin' blackness
I feel like Dame yellin' at Kevin Liles over leather jackets
Prince when he told Nas "Own your masters or your ass out"
Best rapper between Cardi and Meg the Stallion is Kash Doll

Over comer
It's Detroit, energy I'm on forever
Shout out to every body who made it (over comer)
And remember, God doesn't call the qualified
He qualifies the called, that's Christine Caine
Over comer
The energy never dies (over comer)
Energy never lies (over comer)
Men die, women lie, so do numbers
Oh yeah
The station that keeps you in the groove
I'm your man, Ced Tropez
It is that kind of weekend
Keepin' it cool laughin' with friends, family

Straight up disbelief
When he stared at the EPT
Double positive
Is the Future he wanna seek
Be the Father he never had
To a baby that was conceived
Never leave
Give you everything you'll ever need
Teach you about love
Little kisses and hugs
Heaven sent us an angel
Yes you came from above
This more than blessing
Something I'll never question
You were made for a reason
And was made with affection
Lately
My baby
Been teaching me so much
She knows I love her
She loves me
And I can't get enough
Daddys Little World
Baby
I promise
I'll never let you down
Because I love you
You love me
I'll always be around
Daddy's Little World
Now we're so excited
Mommy was kinda frightened
Daddy working with Cable
Knowing he didn't like it
Mommy going to work
With a belly she couldn't hide it
Early doctor appointments
Only brought us enjoyment
Ultrasounds to hear your heart
We felt your kicks
And mummy's pain was kinda sharp
Cause you was big
And kept growing
Mommy's beautiful so radiant
Her skins glowing
God is making a girl i just know it
We look forward
And wait for the sonogram
Is it a pretty girl
Are you a little man
We just wanted to hold you
Live out our future plan
Raise a family
While stashing a couple grand
Saw you 3D
Cute with big cheeks
Your coming home in just a few weeks
So could you see me
Your lullaby is mommys heart beat
We love you Lele
Anticipated greatness
Our Love is the key to this masterpiece
Lately
My baby
Been teaching me so much
She knows I love her
She loves me
And I can't get enough
Daddys Little World
Baby
I promise
I'll never let you down
Because I love you
You love me
I'll always be around
Daddy's Little World
I got the call from mommy
Telling me you were coming
Rushing to the hospital
Feeling pain in her stomach
I stopped what I was doing
Proceeded without a judgement
This is once in a lifetime
Wouldn't miss it for nothing
Speeding up the FDR
Straight out of Brooklyn
Rush hour
Hitting mad traffic
Stressing to book it
I wanna be with mommy
But calmly thinking of you
You're making your arrival
Cause mommy's getting induced
I made it to the hospital
Rushing straight to the room
It was 22 hours later of labor
You made it through
But Daddy's paranoid
Avoiding negative news
He didn't hear you cry
It was scary you didn't move
But God what a surprise
You opened her little eyes
Starred right into mine
Confirming she was alive
Leanna Braxton
Her middle name with an I
You gonna change the world
And your parents are gonna guide
We love you!
