Engage My Words

Lyrics

[Intro] Yield up, O love, thy crown and hearted throne To tyrannous hate! Now, by yond marble heaven In the due reverence of a sacred vow I here engage my words [Verse 1: Jus Allah] This ain't rhymes, it's evil commands From the demon you'll see again When you're asleep in the sands I'm all action, speak with my hands, crack a tree branch Allah elevate to the peak of advance Each line meditates so deep it's a trance If I told you to hang yourself, you'd leap at the chance When you hear Jus Allah, it's not a reason to dance What you see is enhanced, what you believe in expands This is serious shit, it's the eeriest lift There's no aim, I just hate whatever I hit Natural god, master in charge, battle the odds Never stray far from the path of Allah's You made up, slapped together and taped up You fake fucks lay face up or you shape up Soon as I spit it out, niggas wake up, epiphany Black wizardry, God lacks mystery, God lags misery Even if I have to kill every damn devil in Hell to get to victory [Verse 2: Wise Intelligent] I'm not your gangbanger, nine-to-nine crack slinger Turn heavy-rotation rap-R&B singer Fear nothing when I walk the street Spare nothing when I talk the beats I build a school where the gats blow I mobilize black cashflow I'm like Jay-slash-Castro I'm Mister Revolution I play the bully in a whip, a-leanin' All praises do the lights meaning Ghetto youth singing And, when a nigga barely eatin' I make a conscious move to keep the teachers Kiss the son of slaves. I'm black roses on my mother's grave It's time to turn another dolly page, behold the Book of Life I raise the dead and give you hook the life I shake the planet and produce gods Call me the best Knower My eyes reflect the youngest son of Noah I'm so much more than just the average flower Do the knowledge to me I'm who your favorite MC tell his kids about Then try to front like he ain't wipe me when my shit come out [Verse 3: Sabac Red] I shot fear in the face, cut off the head of ignorance Slit the throat of racism, fought in the best with militants My diligence equivalent to God book of messengers Bookin' life safaris I scar and torch your editor Force competitors to felt what I speak Call me an official god-force I'm a descendant of Ephraim Impeaching Presidents for people lacking the funds Hijackin' Air Force One Kidnap the first born son Re-attack 'em with guns They'll be stoppin' for fun My energy has tendency to flee and blacken the sun What's happenin', done It seems you're afraid to rise up Just a dream with no action Spend your day with you eyes shut Wise up, this is God, this is the wicked Evil exists if you let it Find this in the scriptures I feel alive when I spit this Pull a nine within inches Of these snakes in the trenches Got my eye on these bitches This is a war of the minds, and I'm passed the scholar phase Now a jealous phase like suicidal rage around the holidays Follow him on this road before you're crippled and old Freedom's a gold. the only thing that you sold [Interlude] Yield up, O love, thy crown and hearted throne To tyrannous hate! Now, by yond marble heaven In the due reverence of a sacred vow I here engage my words [Outro: Reinaldo Arenas] Todos mis amigos han sido chequeados y a veces obligados por la violencia y el chantaje a dar informes sobre mi persona Mi correspondencia ha sido interceptada Mis cuartos registrados centenares de veces Mi obra ha sido interceptada por la policía Y ahora mi vida misma corre en estos momentos un peligro inminente El sistema ha utilizado cuantos medios posibles están a su alcance para aniquilarme
