The Greatest Story Never Told

Yeah, it's the greatest story ever, ever told
First time ever, you know what I'm sayin'?
I'mma let y'all motherfuckers know something, man
I'm shutting shit down
It's a promise, man
Let me get into this shit, man
Let me let 'em know who I be

The attribute is Garvey, Lord Supreme of Law
Helper to another God in need indeed
I feed off a lot of the bullshit that tends to succeed
I was waiting, just went and took a minute to breathe
Even squeezed off a wanted shot
Moose snuck through to Brownsville
They impatiently waiting for your boy to drop
Lo and behold, greatest story never told
Chapter one, verse one
The genesis of my scroll is realer than nine eleven
I rhyme about lying reverends
While showing no total respect to the big guy in heaven
I rap about politicians
How money's the acquisition
To get it they gotta keep us without a pot to piss in
Struggling to survive nine to five ain't making it
Turn on the TV all I see is celebs taking it
Feeling like they got all the bread but they ain't breaking it
I'm taking it
Soon as I find the oven where they baking it

The greatest story never told
Tell 'em again, god, I'll let it in
Look, it's the greatest story never told
Yeah, nigga, it's the greatest story never told
Check it, check it

We was born here to pick the cotton
Now we pickin' the music the master listen to
To clothe that which he rockin'
We don't drive a hard bargain
What we want back is cracks and more gats
And some more of that bullshit rap
The crime rhyme is still black on black
And we need a leader like me to get us back on track
When y'all make them diss records
Do you know what you do in the black community?
Market and promote the fact that we lack unity
Them white people look at you and laugh
You look like a porch monkey boy dancing for cash
Wanna get on a record and talk trash
See him at the awards and don't do shit but walk fast
And that, that's something we call crack
Cowboy rappers acting so hard when they really just all ass
Abandonation on the warpath
And then we gotta bring some heat out
Cause we changing the forecast like

Greatest story never told
Greatest story ever never
Greatest story never told
Greatest story never told

It's time for America to hear the truth
Once again in the beginning I was sinning
Now I'm in the ninth inning of the game of life
Grinning cause I'm winning
I teach you how to rhyme
Y'all only know how to riddle
I'm deep the government won't do me like Malcolm Little
They say that I'm a threat to the society
Since I put my thinking cap on
And stopped letting them fuckers lie to me
You gotta take it back to face the facts
These D's look at us as just another case to crack
If I bust a gun in the hood I get Attica or the cat
I bang a gat in Iraq I get a pat on the back
Best believe I know better than that
This a lesson for all my listeners
This shit ain't just regular rap
It's the greatest story to ever been spat
It's gone piece the hood and at the same time
Make my pockets elephant fat
Go ahead with all the irrelevant rap
Me and my nigga Just Blaze bring the true element back
It gone

It's the greatest story never told
It's the greatest story never told
It's the greatest story never told
Time for America to hear the truth
