Weeping Poets

Lyrics

[Intro: Minister Louis Farrakhan] I must say that I'm very honored and grateful to all mighty God To all those of you who are in this audience Who've heard in the newspapers about this controversial fellow When I read your newspapers, in truth, I wondered who you were talking about Because I look at this fellow every day in the mirror And I don't see what you see [Verse 1: VIC MENSA] Ain't no love but the one in the mirror, I had to learn that shit the hard way Every penny I earned paid for itself in heartbreak Members of my team descended to fiends, Delonte Some got murdered over ink like Ja Rule and Ashanti That jealousy is corrosive, it burns the one that beholds it Allah spoke to many prophets but only one of 'em is Moses On top of Mount Sinai receiving signal through Wi-Fi Let the trumpets blow for God's son like Olu Dara Nas flow I learnt life's was a bitch when I was 'bout five Writin' suicide notes as a mixed kid on the Southside Switch lens to the present moment, I'm passing' the 27th omen Life is short with a sense of humor, think Gary Coleman Almost sacrificed to gettin' high, my depressive lowest Fighting temptations like a "Ain't nobody came to see you, Otis" I found vision through all the shade, like Stevie's focals I lost friendships to parting ways Like a aminal shelter, they caught a stray Me and my dogs learned to be ferocious All y'all niggas know is to hate, guess they xenophobic Sometimes a evil man could be a decent soilder Let my tears fall on the page for the weeping poets [Interlude: Minsiter Louis Farrakhan] If you will repudiate me, then repudiate me as a lier But if I speak the truth tonight shut your mouth Shut your mouth! I will stake my life on what I say, will you stake your life on what you say? [Verse 2: Jay Electronica] Weeping poets, sour and grief behind us Satanic beasts is before us, a table of feast to bestow us For mastery street heroics Even as the chalk dries, still waters we walk by So when we hear "Takbir" all we say is "Allahu akbar" Like a stranger at Palestine, hurling Molotovs at a cop car Strictly by faith, we got far Jay-elect, Phantom of the Chakras Ruler of Zamunda, the great king Jaffe Joffer Spittin' Old Testament, New Testament and Apocrypha Victory's in our clutches like Mensa Hablar mi que tu piensas Since 1930, the Mahdi been at our center Bismillah boys in the building, giving light out to the children Like a lighthouse to the pilgrims Like the sun to the whole six sixtillion I pledge my life to the Christ syllabus like Maximus did Aurelius Turn their eardrums to umbilicus, as I spit that you can never get rid of us Since Genesis, Exodus and Leviticus, I been at war with Darth Sidious (Darth Sidious, Darth Sidious—)
