Aloe Be Thy Name - Emanon

When the beat is on

The heat gets thrown

I step up to the microphone

And speak this poem:

Our father, who art in heaven

Aloe be they name

When I reach this zone

To each his own

We gon bang the beat

Till the speaker’s blown

Only two niggas love me for real

That’s my pops and the mic that I wield

If I was holding heat the third would be still

But I ain’t never had to kill nobody

If enough drama find me then I will probably

Do something I’mma regret, not cuz of the guilt

But because I’d lose the castle I built

And the life I created to support me

Familiar fake friends who kill your dreams

And steal your things, so watch the snakes

I tell my new soldiers to drill

Drill sergeant marching y’all up the hill

We passing the weak

They' slowly they can’t hold their own weight

But what it take to be great, they ain’t got it

Lord I pray for their sake

I have no psalms for y’all

No extended palms for y’all

All I got is reasons why now ain’t the time to fall

Get your head stronger quickly

I only got room for a few to take with me

This ain’t the end all be all

We all in the same ship

I want you see to all that life has to offer you

Places to take your daughter to and show your some

Private islands for loved ones

So when life’s done, you can honestly say

You wouldn’t have wanted it any other way

At the end of your day

From deep down inside, you could say:

It was all so much better this way

Let us pray

(Our father, who art in heaven

Aloe be they name)

When the beat is on

The heat gets thrown

I step up to the microphone

And speak this poem:

(Thy kingdom come, they will be done

On earth, As it is in heaven)

When I reach this zone

To each his own

We gon bang the beat

Till the speaker’s gone

Get a pencil and a paper, draw a four-line square like a box

And to the left of that box, put a dot

That’s the spot where I be thinkin' a lot

Unconventional thoughts

The kind of reason that philosopher’s got

Speaking of scientist talk

You don’t ever wanna test with Intelligent

Always with a more way to make chips

It’s the animal in me

So many of others envy

Recognize sometimes it is all about the benjis

Put the game in all a frenzy 'cause they thought I was gone

For good, I’m too good to abandon my own hood

Understand, I let it be understood

Take a class on it

This is my lap, Lady Luck, put your ass on it

You handing out deals like that?

I’mma pass on it

Independent mind a criminal, put some cash on it

Aloe Blacc-ism they can’t see my vision

Picking colorful words with a rainbow prism

I can’t go to prison, them bars ain’t friendly

Only bars that I stand behind is where my pen be

So send me, some photos from the outside and letters too

Tell me how you’re doing, what’s new

Why?

I’m incarcerated by these words I spew

When I speak, dudes get envious and girls get chills

In perfect fields

You can take a spoonful of sugar with it

And when you better, tell the world that a brother did it

(Our father, who art in heaven

Aloe be they name)

When the beat is on

The heat gets thrown

I step up to the microphone

And speak this poem:

(Thy kingdom come, they will be done

On earth

As it is in heaven)

When I reach this zone

To each his own

We gon bang the beat

Till the speaker’s gone

(Thy kingdom come, they will be done

On earth

As it is in heaven)

Man: They’re going to make obedient little citizens out of us

Woman: Who are?

What do you mean?

Man: Society
