[ VERSE 1 ] It's like this y'all, to the beat y'all A black man, I stand about six feet tall And I'm a trooper y'all, a real trooper y'all I can take a fall and bounce back like a super ball Yo, my name is Akbar, check me out, I'm not far You want your party rocked? Chill, I got you locked, paw Soon as I hear the bass I'ma tear the place up Then pick the pace up; you pick me? You picked the ace up Yo, I'm ready for war, I've trained like a Jedi In a b-boy stance I glance with my head high You couldn't find a greater man alive A shot from a .45 couldn't stop my vibe No man can withstand or penetrate my aura I step through Babylon, Sodom and Gomorrha Armed with a verse I rehearsed from the Tora The Holy Qu'ran, I tread upon troubled waters Where the Tower of Babel's the Empire State The Statue of Liberty's the harlet that fornicates With the whole world causin my people to sin Deaf, dumb and blind are possessed by evil djinn Police state under pad locks and metal glocks Where the fiends dream of rocks the size of ghetto blocks And thugs got a tendency toward drug dependency Smokin blunts endlessly, downin bottles of Hennessy My peoples pour liquor in memory Of the dead, when I'm gone I wonder how many will remember me My peoples pour liquor in memory Of the dead, when I'm gone I wonder how many will remember me
(I find myself alone) (Nobody knows your name) (When I die) (The city lied) (I find myself alone)
[ CHORUS ] Yo, bigger they come, harder they fall Quicker they run, sooner they done, Jah a-go lick them all Bigger they come, harder they fall Quicker they run, sooner they done, Jah a-go lick them all Bigger they come, harder they fall Quicker they run, sooner they done, Jah a-go lick them all Will spare none, I fear none but the Most High So run and tell Satan Hell's waiting close by
[ VERSE 2 ] New World Order, manslaughter son and daughter No food, clothing, shelter or running water Police bought a car for the special task force Now they got big rockets ready to blast off How can I hide from the genocide? Jah provide alternate routes to get me out And escape, Babylon fake, no doubt There's only one righteous path, you do the math While you hold your breath waitin on the year 2000 The government's busy taking your public housing Wages kept minimum, it's a new millennium Replace your ghetto with condomeniums I met Satan standin there waitin On the corner of 138th and Adam Clayton It was 2 o'clock at night when he asked me for a light And offered me a sip of his wine but I declined He smiled as he spoke through a cloud of smoke He said, "I gave blacks AIDS and made crack from coke I made good seem bad and bad seem good And bought so many souls now I control your hood With promises of riches, fame and fly bitches" His game was so good it sounded religious Kinda remind me of the reverend Who tried to tell me he could sell me a ticket to Heaven What good is it for a man to gain the whole World if in the end he loses his soul? Swallowed whole but only Jah control my destiny So when you question me you only bring out the best in me He asked me to rock so I took him to the mountain He wanted water, I broke the earth and made fountains That flowed and brought forth an infinite amount and I paid dues and served mad crews but who's countin I kept bouncin, kept climbin, never stopped rhymin He said, "It's about time," I said, "No, it's about timin" I know some of y'all probably thought I wouldn't drop it Until you seen it comin, then you knew you couldn't stop it I know some of y'all probably thought I wouldn't drop it Until you seen it comin, then you knew you couldn't stop it
