[ VERSE 1 ]  It's like this y'all, to the beat y'all  A black man, I stand about six feet tall  And I'm a trooper y'all, a real trooper y'all  I can take a fall and bounce back like a super ball  Yo, my name is Akbar, check me out, I'm not far  You want your party rocked? Chill, I got you locked, paw  Soon as I hear the bass I'ma tear the place up  Then pick the pace up; you pick me? You picked the ace up  Yo, I'm ready for war, I've trained like a Jedi  In a b-boy stance I glance with my head high  You couldn't find a greater man alive  A shot from a .45 couldn't stop my vibe  No man can withstand or penetrate my aura  I step through Babylon, Sodom and Gomorrha  Armed with a verse I rehearsed from the Tora  The Holy Qu'ran, I tread upon troubled waters  Where the Tower of Babel's the Empire State  The Statue of Liberty's the harlet that fornicates  With the whole world causin my people to sin  Deaf, dumb and blind are possessed by evil djinn  Police state under pad locks and metal glocks  Where the fiends dream of rocks the size of ghetto blocks  And thugs got a tendency toward drug dependency  Smokin blunts endlessly, downin bottles of Hennessy  My peoples pour liquor in memory  Of the dead, when I'm gone I wonder how many will remember me  My peoples pour liquor in memory  Of the dead, when I'm gone I wonder how many will remember me    (I find myself alone)  (Nobody knows your name)  (When I die)  (The city lied)  (I find myself alone)    [ CHORUS ]  Yo, bigger they come, harder they fall  Quicker they run, sooner they done, Jah a-go lick them all  Bigger they come, harder they fall  Quicker they run, sooner they done, Jah a-go lick them all  Bigger they come, harder they fall  Quicker they run, sooner they done, Jah a-go lick them all  Will spare none, I fear none but the Most High  So run and tell Satan Hell's waiting close by    [ VERSE 2 ]  New World Order, manslaughter son and daughter  No food, clothing, shelter or running water  Police bought a car for the special task force  Now they got big rockets ready to blast off  How can I hide from the genocide?  Jah provide alternate routes to get me out  And escape, Babylon fake, no doubt  There's only one righteous path, you do the math  While you hold your breath waitin on the year 2000  The government's busy taking your public housing  Wages kept minimum, it's a new millennium  Replace your ghetto with condomeniums  I met Satan standin there waitin  On the corner of 138th and Adam Clayton  It was 2 o'clock at night when he asked me for a light  And offered me a sip of his wine but I declined  He smiled as he spoke through a cloud of smoke  He said, "I gave blacks AIDS and made crack from coke  I made good seem bad and bad seem good  And bought so many souls now I control your hood  With promises of riches, fame and fly bitches"  His game was so good it sounded religious  Kinda remind me of the reverend  Who tried to tell me he could sell me a ticket to Heaven  What good is it for a man to gain the whole  World if in the end he loses his soul?  Swallowed whole but only Jah control my destiny  So when you question me you only bring out the best in me  He asked me to rock so I took him to the mountain  He wanted water, I broke the earth and made fountains  That flowed and brought forth an infinite amount and  I paid dues and served mad crews but who's countin  I kept bouncin, kept climbin, never stopped rhymin  He said, "It's about time," I said, "No, it's about timin"  I know some of y'all probably thought I wouldn't drop it  Until you seen it comin, then you knew you couldn't stop it  I know some of y'all probably thought I wouldn't drop it  Until you seen it comin, then you knew you couldn't stop it    [ CHORUS ]
