The Awakening - Capital D

Hip-hoppers approach apocalypse with remarks unremarkable

But who cares if it’s 'marketable' -- let’s drop it unstoppable

Rolling with the infallible ripping rapid unflappable

Stick and whip a wicked rapper make him humble and affable

See the title applicable to despicable miserable men be jiggaboo

I run through 'em like an obstacle course

'Course it’s the Cap, you could be white or be black

But if you’re acting like a nigga or a cracker get back

They call me African-American, that’s an oxymoron

I don’t follow Farrakhan or perform at the Aragon

Like Harding to Kerrigan we could put out some hits

But then let’s pack up the caravan and escape Styx

Now with the flick of the wrist verbals be put in the mix

Destruct your lyrical naps, there’s too much minimal rap

And all that criminal crap

I turn to venerable veterans -- vital and better men

Never «Tomming» like Edison

Make my living at editing, emitting this medicine

And from Lisbon to Lebanon the like-minded are loving it

Every building that I’ve been to had to speak on the government

The truth is evident, we be pushing and shoving it

Revolution is liniment against illegitimate leaders

And legions of the decadent ignorant

Armageddon is imminent

So for the greater benefit let’s just stand with the

Sentinels of a similar sentiment

In the center of the cipher with balanced equilibrium

Rip to a rhythm that’s bug like the millenium

A definitive blueprint of pure hip-hop

The global cultural movement that can’t be stopped

That’s the ish that gets dropped;

minor men’ll get mopped

Idle chatter’ll cease as we scatter a release

See east is the place that I face

But a shrine can’t erase or replace

The essence of seeking His face

Never losing sight of right due to narrow vision

Or confuse heroism and terrorism

I’m scared of -isms

Whether material- colonial- imperial-

National- or rational-

Each one is factional

Creating reactional actions and gradually

The hatred and passions’ll lead to more casualties

Dastardly deeds sow seeds of destruction

But the life instructions provide the insight for deduction

And with no interruption

And no introductions the no-name anonymous

B-boy pharmacist hip-hop economist

Is dooming the dominance of cons claiming continents

Imperialists said the sun never sets

But I bet terror is what terror begets

The simple cause and effect law is in effect

But Allah is perfect

So we pause and reflect

On the sight of the moon and the stars and the signs and the night

And the noon and the laws and of time and of space and of body and mind

And the fate of the one who debates on the one who creates

It’s a fact that Allah is the All and Divine

Unborn undefined unformed to the mind

We conform to design

And we know that we reap what we sow

And we sow what we reap and so don’t oversleep
