[ VERSE 1 ]  With this mic in my hand I command the grand order  A physical man, I stand on land and water  Fire and wind, I transcend physical borders  My father is the son and the moon is his daughter  My mother the Earth, she gave birth to the seed  From a lifeless ball of clay, empty as a hollow reed  Until Allah breathed life into my physical frame  From a state of nothingness instead of existing I became  By God, the true and living given insight  Certain colors manifesting physical light  But still earthbound, held down by the physical elements  Spiritual development gives me a higher intelligence  Beyond these concrete streets and the green pastures  I walk with the elders, 24 supreme masters  They taught me time travel and how to master sound  Through ancient scriptures lost but now found  I'm like the intergalactic Asiatic star fighter  Creative rhyme writer, I meditate like a spider  Call me an old soul, psychedelic mic relic  Trained on a spiritual plane by angelic  Michael taught me to rock the mic well  Gabriel showed me how to read, write and spell  Rafael gave the forewarning  He said, "When you hear the trumpets blow you'll know new day's dawning"  So I sat with the Gods and for years we did the science  And when I stood up I realized that we were giants  I sat with the Gods and for years we did the science  And when I stood up I realized that we were giants    [ CHORUS ]  I'm not a gangster, I'm somethin closer to a monster  A Chi-town underground Boogie Down Bronxster  Remember when I stomped ya like in concert?  With the rugged raw I came, I saw and I conquered  I'm not a rapper, rappers get thrown away  Hardrocks get knocked and locked and blown away  And rap stars fade away and those who say  Don't know and those who know won't say  Runnin game we don't play and those who say  Don't know and those who know won't say    [ VERSE 2 ]  I was a mild child until I got influenced by the _Wild Style_  Then I became the unclaimed son of Hussein  Society's blame, the whole world's afraid of me  Killin myself but I'm still in effect like slavery  When I was down I got stepped on, when I was up I got slept on  Like a sofa bed but still I kept on  Tryin to feed the masses like Jesus with a loaf of bread  Cut out the middle man and eliminate the overhead  Step off the jock and let my record rock  Like the shepherd who lead the flock, the one who kept it locked  The keeper of the style who kept the cheeba in the isle  I took a walk through thought and ran deeper than a mile  I get down, cover ground, make my mic sound nice  Take aim, hit the map and rap around the world twice  I'm so precise it's frightening, I'm like lightning  Strikin in the same place twice with the mic device  When I drop this hip-hop on your ear  Put the microphone in a shop for repair  It might require surgery, re-wire the circuitry  In the event of an actual emergency  We'll interrupt your program to keep you informed  The forecast calls for severe brainstorms  When I shoot the gift I let my mind drift like the contintents  After the show I'm unavailable for comments    [ CHORUS ]    [ VERSE 3 ]  I'm a byproduct of the viaduct who struck out in response to  What you did was created a monster  I wasn't expected to survive but I did  You're feelin my vibe? Well I'm still alive cause I hid  Deep in the cut where we sleep in a hut  On the bare floor near the door we drank from the same cup  And all ate from the same plate, that's how I came up  I rode the train for fame and got my name up  Stayin I reign permanent when I shoot my sperm in it  From the barrel to the earth up to the firmanent  I'm shinin like a ( ? ) the lion of Juda  On the Mountain Zion meditatin with the buddha  I looked to the sky, saw the mothership overpassin me  I felt my heart start to race with great ferocity  To see the holy Crystal City in his chastity  Sat down at the throne of His Majesty  With 144'000 seat capacity  I heard the prophecy, Babylon ending tragically  I speak emphatically even when mics are staticky  Flowin radically till things change dramatically    [ CHORUS ]    Yeah  You know?  Those who say don't know  and those who know won't say  So when you get through talkin and walkin your lips  we gon' keep it movin like this
