Stay Ready

Stay ready, you aint gotta get ready...

Cold like the belly of the blizzard
I'm not merely a poet boy I'm a wizard
It's exquisite if I spit it
Blow it to smitherines if I hit

Word to Noreaga I'm a menace
But nothing like the star of the apprentice
Thriving off the privilege he was given
Conspiring wit the runners of the prisons Keeping niggas in the system

Yea I want smoke wit the racists
Yea I speak up for the voiceless and the face less
Yea I spit dope, so potent you can't face it
Yea i get complex but I'll start you wit the basics

Not anti-white but I'm Pro-Blac
That mean i put the team on my back like I'm Bo Jack
Infringing on our freedom ima leave you where the boats at
Drop you so deep they can't find you wit a lo jack

Leaders on the rise and our eyes where the hopes at
So hard to keep hope but we don't never show that
They Lynching black boys and they'll show you where the ropes
White face no case, where the death row at?

Where's the fucking justice at? Where is y'all souls at?
Where's all the preacher men? Where the fucking pope at?
Where's all the leaders with the fancy ass clothes at
Where's all the trappers that be cooking all the dope at?

Man, Jay said it best, streets finished man.
Y'all killed Jahseh, didn't touch Zimmerman
That fucker prolly somewhere outside playing tennis
And yall shooting at eachother all the time being frivolous

The revolution won't be live streamed
We finna find out who the martyrs is
Issa war going on outside
And as long as we oppressed, there'll never be an armistice

I profess Ima exercise my right to bear arms down to bear hands
Carry crosses that you swear on
Uplift my people till' out self love is so strong that
The water we under becomes the seas that we sail on

Float on face these demons head on till they all gone
They will not give us justice gotta take it strong arm
They don't wanna give us liberty until we split domes
Shit's never real as it can be until it hits home

So be it - these politicians be so fiendish
They feeding all this bullshit and i won't eat it
Teaching our youth the wrong shit about they own people
They history books missing pages so I don't read it

They started pitching alternative facts
So i went back to the lab, grabbed my journal and scratched
Some adverbs that'll bring about a turn of events
That's what you call alternative rap

I care less about your strap or how hard that you trap
I care more about my brothers gettin off of of they back
I care less about the ass that you got on your lap
I care more about my sistas being proud to be blac

Getting the minds of our youth on track
Tryna get they self respect in alignment and they conscience in tact
It don't matter if you singing or you making it clap
It don't matter if you a actor don't matter if you rap

It don't matter if you a lawyer or a doctor
A factory worker or a chef cookin lobster
If you free or you locked up
If you don't support the cause of your own people, you's a fckin imposter

Holla. And the ship not sinking
Third eye pried open boy I'm not blinking
Rolling around the city wit a shotty in the Lincoln
They will not achieve our extinction

Stay Ready
