- 'Till I Get There
[Verse 1]
I'mma ho, whole word on hold
The crowd is like "ho!", operator's like "hold"
Man, now ain't that cold?
I'm just trying to talk to my homie, that's something to hold
Homegirl ain't trying to be a hole, even though she on a pole
Can she get a second chance? NO!
Whoa! Like the opposite of gold
- All Black Everything
You would never know
If you could ever be
If you never try
You would never see
Stayed in Africa
We ain't never leave
So there were no slaves in our history
Were no slave ships, were no misery, call me crazy, or isn't he
- AMERICAN TERRORIST III
[Verse 1]
Hello gorgeous
This phone call’s probably being recorded
Just know that i did it for the four of us
And those motherf-ckers kept ignorin’ us
After this i’m going underground
If they come asking give them the run-around
How does costa rica in the summer sound?
- American Terrorist Pt 2
Through the fire, smoke, and broken rubble
Walks the secret life, bullet-proof and bulging muscle
Death-defying, highest flying over trouble
Can you please come and help us out our hopeless struggles
Sympathy is wearing off and dying out
In the face of all these enemies and crying out
Losing all this energy from finding out
The world is filled with ills, ever so close to timing out
- Audubon Ballroom
God is great!
Ghettos, America. U.S. to the izzay
Killa in the citywide sprizzay
Where there's sunshine in the shizzade
Church won't pull him out the pin like a grenade
For acting out their fears like a charade
So they blackin out their tears like it's lights out
Bring em out the black like a lighthouse
- Ayesha Says
Hijabs, hoodies, afros, locks
Teddy bear, liquor bottle shrines, rocks
Tanks, prayer rugs, church pews, Mexican corn stands
Blood, sweat, and tears, police batons
Gas masks and bullets create graffiti on corners
Murals that salute freedom or death for liberty
Be it Inglewood or Egypt, Bedstuy or Baghdad
- Baba Says Cool For Thought
[Iesha Jaco]
They thought it was cool to burn crosses in your front lawn
As they hung you from trees in your backyard
They thought it was cool to leave you thirsty and stranded, KATRINA
He thought it was cool to carry a gun in his classroom
And open fire, Virginia Tech and Columbine, Stop the Violence
They thought it was cool to tear down the projects
And put up million-dollar condos, gentrification

Then shout outs to my inner demon that be creepin' around my temple

Thinking of different ways to keep from submitting

Knees is touching the front seat shifting
Cause your handcuffs is cutting your wrist and
- Hurt Me Soul
Now I ain't tryna be the greatest
I used to hate hip-hop... yup, because the women degraded
But Too $hort made me laugh, like a hypocrite I played it
A hypocrite I stated, though I only recited half
Omittin the word "bitch," cursin I wouldn't say it
Me and dog couldn't relate, til a bitch I dated
Forgive my favorite word for hers and hers alike
But I learnt it from a song I heard and sorta liked
- I waited all my life to play

You live forever
How bout them bullets ain't slow you up
You ain't really die and we watched you grow up
At 12 months you took your first steps
Awkwardly across the kitchen floor to your best
Your first breaths that we can call words
In your father's lap on November 23rd

He robbed candy shop told her lay down on the floor,
Put the cookies in his bag took the pennies out the

Little Kalil got a gun he got from the rebels,
