[Ab] [Abm] Lord of the Roses
All night Sunday, sun cool
All of it, now, listen
[Ab] Say I drink, yes, I roll in hip hop
[Abm] Say J-Rolls, yes, I roll in hip hop
We never listen, say I roll in hip hop
Say Black Soul, come to [N] rock it, yo
From the first to the last of it
Delivery is fashion
It's a whole and not the half of it
Forecasting at the mouth of it
Projectile at number last of it
Accurate assassin shit
[Dbm] Me and Kweli close like Bethlehem and Nazareth
[Ab] After this, you be pressin'
We wanna top [Db] your massiveness
Shinin' like a asterisk
We're all lost in your gallery
[E] Connectin' like a red house
From [G] the townhouse to the tenements
Cause all my [E] Brooklyn residents
On the heavy regiments
Don't believe, hear the evidence We're Brooklyn See that?
By the ticket, all can believe that
From where they say they drew ya
To where the police say ya
Tellin' Kweli equality
Just tell him what we do ya
[Abm] Brooklyn, [Gm] New York City
Where they paint murals of Biggie [Dbm] and Cash
We trust cause this ghetto fabulous life
Look pretty, what a pity
Plenty still for [Ab] these sexist [G] incest
Street sexist dominant
Can't be covered with incest
[B] My presence felt
My name is Kweli
From the eternal reflection
People think an MC is Shoham From misconception
Let me meditate, set [Gm] it straight
Came to the conclusion
That most of these cats is featherweight
Let me demonstrate
[Abm] Walk in the streets, it's like battling
Be careful with your body
You must know karate
You think your soul is [Gb] bulletproof Like Sade
Acting like a [G] bitch already
Be a [Db] visionary
And maybe you can see your name
In the column of [Ab] obituaries
Third grade teacher reading it
[Abm] Talking about I knew he the mouse
Nothing, neighbors like he was the quiet type
Who'd have thought they was frontin'
Talking loud like you an RCA
Get caught in the way
Where body parts are traced
What a way to start your day
Yo, it's like
One, two, three
Move them metallic ways
We came to rock and [N] roll
To the zip line
Best alliance in hip hop My [Ebm] home
I said one, two, three
It's [N] kinda discourage to be an MC
This y'all little pothead [Ab] Biggie
Too much violence in hip hop
[Eb] Violence
Here we go with that quality of life
That once you gain
[D] Registration, [Gm] please
Oh, you the follower
What is that?
[F] I don't know
It's [Gm] high tech What's this?
He's that Yeah
It's a video
It's a [D] music video
What's that for?
[Gm] That's really cool
That's a music video
Said my hat, I keep on making it
Brooklyn keep on taking [Dbm] it
So relax, we'll take it back
Red hook where we're living at
Really got me struggling And hustling And bubbling
And that ain't about [Gb] production
That's what we [Ab] discussing
When that cock crows
My crop grows
And they want me to [Dbm] rock flows
Striving for perfection
Ever since I was a snot nose
Cause I sold True [Abm] original
Before I pop sold
Standing on a rooftop
With a pseudo-disciple
You think you the shit
Somebody in the wings
Will force you to
It could be you
True or slick
It's a random kid
You smoke booty with
Consider me the entity
Within the industry
Without a history
Of spitting tea
A pyramid of stupidity
Living my life
Expressing my liberty
You gotta be done properly
My name is in the middle
Of equality
People follow me
Another chance to hear him flow
And assume I'm the real one
With the lyrics
Like I'm Cyrano
Still sipping with your well water
Imported from Pluto
Three hundred and sixty milliliters
For all the believers
In miles of kilometers
Most ass cannot precede us
In the jungle with the leaders
We the lions
You the cheetahs
[G] A cycle of conflict
As we come to your receivers
[Dbm] You can play us
And repeat us
And then take us from Maritas
[D] [Ebm] You a cheeser
Most deaf and quiet
Just make a pussy freeze [Db] up
Think it'll freeze [Ab] up
One, two, three
Most deaf [Dbm] and quiet
We came to [Ab] rock and roll
To the tip top
Best [Db] alliance in hip hop
Why y'all
[Ab] A set of one, two, [Abm] three
It's kinda [Db] dangerous to be a MC
It's shot [Abm] through my campaign
