Lyrics Brother Ali

Brother Ali

Chain Link

I try to always buy final call from the F.O.I

Even though that's not what Islam always signify

Y'all gotta love the struggle in 'em

They would get on their knees and shine shoes

'fore they ever let the drugs afflict 'em

Makin taco's and fuckin with McDonald's

Nickel and dime broke, but dignified with high hopes

Some people shoulder the weight of the median, make it look easy

Even though they walkin the tight roads

Immigrants, twelve deep in one bedroom

I'm too cool, I look at 'em like fools

Those fools combine forces and put the resources

And guess who the new owner of the corner store is

Shit, what's stoppin me from doin that?

I probably could with drug smugglers approve of that

Because if one dime sack in the time can climax

Into a billion dollar industry, then look at my abilities

But I'm a dreamer in alotta ways

I feel if you believe in God that you believe in brighter days

Keep my son's heartbeat in my sleep

I'ma walk the Planet Earth with his name carved deep in my feet like

Children growin, women producin

Men go workin, but what's the use

When the real strive hard and stress about the rent

And can still die poor and in debt without a cent
