Lyrics

[Intro] Depart Two, one, two, three [Chorus: Malik B.] Yo, the feet that I walk with The ears that I hear with The eyes that I see with The mouth that I talk with The terror that I stalk with Now it's time to spark shit Yo, the feet that I walk with The ears that I hear with The eyes that I see with Yo, the mouth that I talk with The terror that I stalk with Now it's time to spark shit [Verse 1: Malik B.] Look, ahk, I walk around a little edgy already Y'all emcees come into my face, but my aim steady M-illa-tant is skilled in most strategic plan I float across seas and breeze across land Standing in these thoughts of murder within Destructor of this world that's corrupted with sin I'm always hitting to leave emcees guessing For any transgression in my perimeter, there will be a blessing And your explicit intoxicated Buddha session, so stop stressing Me with the madness, putting niggas on my had list No sadness is felt, you shuffled and your cards get dealt Jim Carrey-ass niggas start to melt Impact like a buckle being swung from off a belt Any help for shelter, when in the realms of a welter My weight will tilt you, hold alignments and change your filter My attitude a product of society So sometimes, for gratitude, you know you can't rely on me Niggas eyeing me with looks of they anxiety Wondering what's in my heart, velocity or piety, yo It depends on which one you bring to surface At times, I get trife, but what? To worship is my purpose Malik B. blend with the tree, to spot an enemy You clogging me up, cat, now vacate the vicinity [Chorus: Malik B.] Yo, the feet that I walk with The ears that I hear with The eyes that I see with The mouth that I talk with The terror that I stalk with Now it's time to spark shit Yo, the feet that I walk with The ears that I hear with The eyes that I see with Yo, the mouth that I talk with The terror that I stalk with Now it's time to spark shit [Verse 2: Malik B.] I'm symbolic to a ballot, it's Abdul Malik Don't approach with bullshit, I'm quick to call it invalid Route through your district, we keep it simplistic No need for the rapper to talk, put it on halt Show me the vault or the safe, 'cause I'm on the paper chase Wade through route states for 'bout thirty down my waist I'm tryna get it, these rain-bottling thoughts become acidic With one in the chamber, ready to aim and spit it A girlfriend and teammate, million cash, just split it I take what you got to give 'cause I got to live The last hour, I bet your ass you wax sour Might act up, but I still can pass Da'wah I'm usin' new ways to try to reach these better days Instead of tryna take you under, I just make you wonder I still fast, make salaat, and pay zakaat I didn't make Hajj yet, but that's my next project Livin' two lives, one eternal, one with true lies Keeping up hope, knowing His answer to my du'as In the quarters, living modest with my nigga Trotter I circle my foes like a Tawaf around the Kaaba I used to live life like it was no mañana Now, I'm treating every breath like it was Your Honor M-illa-tilla-tant with the Fifth that stand firm like a pillar I'm I-N-T-L like Manila [Chorus: Malik B.] Yo, the feet that I walk with The ears that I hear with The eyes that I see with The mouth that I talk with The terror that I stalk with Now it's time to spark shit Yo, the feet that I walk with The ears that I hear with The eyes that I see with Yo, the mouth that I talk with The terror that I stalk with Now it's time to spark shit Yo, the feet that I walk with The ears that I hear with The eyes that I see with Yo, the mouth that I talk with The terror that I stalk with Now it's time to spark shit Yo, the feet that I walk with The ears that I hear with The eyes that I see with Yo, the mouth that I talk with The terror that I stalk with Now it's time to spark shit [Outro: Malik B.] This is what it's all about This is what it's all about This is what it's all about This is what it's all about This is what it's all about This is what it's all about This is what it's all about
