Shadows On The Sun

(We'd like to capture your minds right now)

(What you say)

(Take you a little bit higher)

(What you say)

I like the snares loud enough to make your eyes blink from it

Only male with the Holy Grail, drink from it

I keep an eye on heaven and an ear to the street

And spread a thick layer of blood, sweat and tears on the beats

My brain rest upon the hip-hop lexicon

That I acquired in the decade of work that people slept upon

I don't rap, I recite the prayers of the inner soul

Of the slave ships' human cargo

Seemingly meaningless rappers flood the market

With shit that make me pace in my room until I rip the carpet

I'm fit to start up this next millennium

Swingin' the grappling hook at cackling crooks to finish 'em

The city dweller sendin' telegrams from Neverland

The better man kind now, kindly join the caravan

We're like a rock band that pack contraband

And won't hesitate to stomp a man into the rocks and sand

Brother Ali, and if you haven't heard about me

I'm flyin' just beneath your radar so y'all can doubt me

Stay on the sonar with crowbars to open minds

There's a ladder you're supposed to climb

Approach a Rhymesayer with a Buggsy Siegel sized ego

You gon' get yourself snatched out the sky, you know the steelo

By now, where, what, why and how

We start the revolution real time, right now

Yes, leave it to me to create hope where there was none

The human being shall cast shadows on the sun

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none

My inner soul shall cast shadows on the sun

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none

The human being shall cast shadows on the sun

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none

My inner soul shall, my inner light shall..
