[Intro: Isa Muhammad]
I come from a time where it is about like bars n***a, where it's about like lyrics n***a, where it's about like saying some sh** n***a, some deep sh** n***a, some sh** about black people my n***a. You sh** about, you know, some some some esoteric spiritual type sh**, some sh** that goes into the essence of what it just means to just be black and just popping in America, you feel me? Like. Isa Muhammad n***a
[Verse 1: Isa Muhammad]
Incarceration, genocide, they k** you if you criticize
They got your name and number n***a, intelligence centralized
The homie Paper just got shot, I pray he make it through the night
I know some n***as did some time, had to fly a couple kites
I roll around my f**ing city feeling like I'm Michael Knight
And Jesus Christ, you need a fight, Norris Cole is colder than the snow
I always get the shot to go, I got the baddest b**h for sho'
Bout to get out 10 or fo', and he come from coldest coast
Lyrics caught the Holy Ghost, I travel 'round on golden spokes
Naenae done hit them folkes, it's a [?] if you did not know
Palestine and the occupation, evidently, but you can't taste it
I'm in the booth on vacation, I feel like Wayne, it's a dedication
Outer space on the reservation, [?] it's an a**a**ination
The sh** I spit come from dark spaces like dark matter meets Darth Vader
And elevated and meditated till you levitated
Dronestrikes at your frontdoor, Inglewood forever more
Chemtrails and m**m wars
[Chorus: Isa Muhammad]
And I ain't trippin 'bout no b**hes
Nah, said I'd rather put the city on, n***a
It's Inglewood forever, look
Like chemtrails and m**m wars
And I ain't trippin 'bout no b**hes bro
Nah, uhuh, said I'd rather put the city on
Word, it's Inglewood forevermore
Uh, like chemtrails and m**m wars
[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
I'm the Charles Dickens for these young n***as
Pray these scriptures pay my daughter tuition, it's my vision
Ask me what I wanna be, and I said I'm a poet
Survive a drive-by got me feeling heroic
AK47's for the shock and awe
Made a fortune, and no more smoking in those parking lots
Your men see you through a different lens
Ain't no love cause they k**ing even wives and friends
Scholarships to school, they wanna know my race
Took a trip to Egypt, then I chose my faith
Field n***as would never suffer from sunburns
One word, you still a n***a, take this whole verse
Innercity n***as living by the Gotti rules
To be on house arrest he made a lotta moves
I'm prepaid for my next rhymes
I'll let these n***as shine maybe next time
[Chorus: Isa Muhammad]
Your men see you through a different lens

Innercity n***as living by the Gotti rules
To be on house arrest, he made a lot of moves
I'm prepaid for my next rhymes

[Verse 3: Talib Kweli]
You received my gift, like a present, so my presence is a charity
The difference is it's clear, but I focus on similarities
We in the trenches for our lives, these my soldiers in solidarity
Your intelligence artificial, that's why you're filled with singularity
Got that advice from my pops, it's a staple
Like a plate of rice never, not religion, but a way of life
Pick your battle, save your fights
A wise man can play the fool, behave or pay the price
Respectability is cool, but that don't keep me safe at night
This is why I'm still evolve 'cause these policies'll k** us all
Nah they can't k** us all, that's why they wanna build a wall
But they don't steal and they don't rape and still get all
Like they don't deal in raw, like they don't k** at all
I'm a New Yorker, I saw the builings fall, they came because we built it first
The bricks are falling I say, and [?], that's like the illest verse
So for me to trust, you gotta get the f** up out your feelings first
Now watch you go from "Feel the Bern" to built up with the Bildergbergs
What the f** is feelings worth
[Chorus: Isa Muhammad]
And I ain't trippin 'bout no b**hes
Nah, said I'd rather put the city on, n***a
It's Inglewood forever, look
Like chemtrails and m**m wars
And I ain't trippin 'bout no b**hes bro
Nah, uhuh, said I'd rather put the city on
Word, it's Inglewood forevermore
Uh, like chemtrails and m**m wars
