Hit me hard, now   Ladies and gentlemen, you made the right choice this evening      If you know me, you know I   Love my family love my God   Before I knew either I loved my art   So I'm married to the pen till death do us part   Rock hard with all my heart   College broads call me avant garde   Probably 'cause I'm all off the chart   Only thing poppy about me   Is what my Puerto Rican mami call me when she on me   And the raw me is all I let y'all see   I believe I rock it properly   Obviously a lot of y'all agree   Remind me, what the fuck can stop Ali?   Only me as far as I can see   Line 3 of "My Philosophy" by BDP   It apply to me   I'm just the guy to lead a crew   That means the true people who believe in you   And hold you down and do what they need to do   Street Preacher   Say you don't believe what these people teach   Well me neither   He who follows his dream is deemed leader   The freedom fighter meets the peace keeper   See me creeping up in the pulpit   With a full clip fit to speak to the people   May I suggest you just believe dude?   Everything he speak on, really true   He's proved he would never mislead you   Or treat you as nothing less than equal   That's why they call me Brother Ali, too   The feeling always seems to bleed through   No quitting I kill it until the beats through   No kidding I'm real in everything we do   Rap beef bullshit so see through   They don't like the hoops they got to leap through   So they turn on each other like the weak do   Your little teeth chew meat, fool me too      I came here to turn the party out   Y'all know just what I'm all about   My crew throw down without a doubt   We here let me hear you holler out      I came here to turn the party out   Y'all know just what I'm all about   My crew throw down without a doubt   We here let me hear you holler out      Rest assured I'm the best to do it in my neck of the woods   Hell yes I'm good   You can give me any test and I'll prove it no question   Let this be a lesson to you   When a superior send a message through the air waves   Your way, fool, just accept it   And consider it a blessing   I won't rest till the moment they press play   This jam come down and cave your chest in   There's a couple more things y'all have to know   Y'all been violating the rapper code   Can't just walk around here acting bold   Got to earn respect to brag and boast   Skills get you that not swag and clothes   Chin might get tapped, I crack your nose   Fall back before y'all collapse   Me, I'm an artist all a y'all are acts   That's why my heart bleed all on the track   Tell me what the fuck's wrong with that   Y'all foreplaying I'm raw dogging that   I lead the way 'cause y'all lost the path   This dialogue is all about the facts   That's why my stories are hard to match   Never been afraid at all, follow that      I came here to turn the party out   Y'all know just what I'm all about   My crew throw down without a doubt   We here let me hear you holler out      I came here to turn the party out   Y'all know just what I'm all about   My crew throw down without a doubt   We here let me hear you holler out      Preacher in here this evening   Let me see your hands if you believe him   I don't know but I got this feeling   These people need some healing      And there just so few real ones   I got just what you're seeking   That giant can't keep sleeping   Wake up and touch that freedom
