Elijah

Lyrics

[Intro: K-Rino] Elijah ain't the dead The hypocrites' just scared In due time haha In due time let me tell you about him [Verse 1: K-Rino] Yeah, straight out of Sandersville, Georgia The 7th child born to his mother and his father Grew up in the time of where blacks had rare options Not even 10 years old, already sharecropping Working in the field at a real early age Imagine a child quitting school in the 3rd Grade There was something special about him, they couldn't comprehend it He became a man that would transform the course of the planet Living in the South under racism and evil From day one he always had a love for black people Fresh out of slavery, getting real truth was hard In 1931 he was introduced to God A man named Fard, came into the picture Taught him and made him a scholar of math, science and scripture Plus the mind has shut down what the enemy did And debunked the lies of who they said the black man is Elijah [Interlude: Elijah Muhammad] [Verse 2: K-Rino] God knew the right person to deposit his message When Elijah heard the truth he was compelled to accept it Became a minister of Islam and drew life from it He was given the name Kareem then later Muhammad After 3 and a half years, Fard was gone And Elijah was left to raise the Nation alone But not really he wasn't alone, quiet as kept Because Allah still covered him and guided his steps Then he raised up a Nation who was blessed to come At a time when black people got oppressed and hung He taught us to do forself and start begging for rights Begging to drink from the same water fountain as whites Cleaned us up from drug using, lying, stealing and cheating Taught us how to eat to live and how to love our women And that America was gonna be destroyed and how And everything he wrote back then, we seeing it now Elijah [Interlude: Elijah Muhammad] [Verse 3: K-Rino] He's not like the scary leaders who consistently front There's reason he's not mentioned in black history month Our consciousness went viral since his arrival You can find him in the Book of Malachi in the Bible Him and his disciples are all over the Book You can find him in the Quran if you know where to look You say you love Muhammad Ali and Malcolm too But Elijah Muhammad taught them both all they knew Every words you heard them speak, any wisdom they claim Matter of fact, who you think gave them both their names His son Warith Deen, Farrakhan a greatness of them The spread of Islam in the West, you can trace it to him In time he made us strong, built schools and farms Taught us about the mothership, baby planes with bombs The messenger of Allah sitting at God's side The exalted Christ and oh by the way, he's still alive
