let me speak my talk
I had to watch my step, cuz 6 feet don't walk
my lawyer told me young man you better pay your cost
that's why these others get off , and these brothers get lost
in the system stuck in prison yellin’ free my BOS
rap sheet for ya verses meanin' you got caught
5 years for a murder means that you might talk...
but who am I to judge I ain't judge or the jury
you more show me like Missouri, I'm esse quam verderi
so if you think you see me then your vision kinda blurry
I politic with felons who tell me where they were failin'
so I won't pass down the same mistakes being reckless
...Times hard everybody will grind
even cats who got a job doin dirt on the side
I don't tell bout you, you don't tell bout mine
some young dudes catch us slipping take it all off our mind, I promise
...back in college my adviser was a panther
if violence ain't a answer why they use it on us?
get a clue klutz (klu klutz) instead of stressin red hat's and blue chucks
6 5 I know mine that's knowledge I taught
Black political thoughts, all that knowledge I caught
if I don't reach my full potential it is only my fault
Ethiopian cross , lost children of the motherland
...don't try to tell me what belong to the other man
.... what's the meaning of that
I can't picture white Jesus when his features are black
someone killin our future, someone hiding our past
got us stuck in the present but here's a gift that will last
I might bomb a record label if the offer is whack
not a terrorist, just wonder how the buildings collapsed
when I hear every verse, I could run every track
this is deeper than rap, and I am deeper that..fact
born Carolina bound in the city of the crown on the NorF Side of town
off the creek that ain't sweet but it's still called sugar in the springs where I streamed all my childhood dreams king

I am Negus... who is your Ruler
how are you a.king when.you don't.rule ya medulla I
your Crown full snake Wit the mind of Medusa
I'm a god of the God in the name of YAHSHUA
but this is not war this is sovereignty
This is 12 tribe turning into 12 dynasties
This is not inn your.control my destiny is divine
this is David in his greatness, Menelik in his prime
fatherless generation who grew up to hate the mother
these brothers are not my brothers that why we aim at each other
Cain and able flawed you are Cain if you reject
I am Able with and a tech to ya Neck gimme Respect Lord
Bring a shovel for the devils this is genocide
Live man I wouldn't be surprised if I never died...
I'm on my 7th heaven.. in my second life
So if the murder me the better do it twice
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
You can read every text and memorize what you heard
but without the understanding all the knowledge is a blur
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
You can read every text and memorize what you heard
But knowledge without wisdom is a book without words
Tears on my silver, blood on my gold
Murder my body can't, murder my soul
Where they,
bury my bones, under my throne
I got
rust in my chalice, dirt in my palace
Sweat on my crown my, scepter is broken but I'm chosen
My existence wasn't written it was Spoken
Created in a word and perfected in a thought
...My only passion is to master what he taught
I am captive to the lost But I'm free from all the rules
And to my empire even kings pay dues
There is not a prince who can walk in my shoes
And there is not man who I fear when I move
Nobody's safe .. every body bleeds
I come from a city that was raised by the kings
It's a purpose in the rings, It's knowledge in the literature
Self made royalty ordained myself a emperor
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
You can read every text and memorize what you heard
but without the understanding all the knowledge is a blur
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
You can read every text and memorize what you heard
But knowledge without wisdom is a book without words
God made dirt and from the dirt he made me
of the tree I did eat now I battle with the beast
I try to reach the stars but this body's too weak
now I gotta die to get to Heaven good grief
I come as a killer cuz he come as a thief
my word is the sword with the armor of the Lord
Who is your messiah, lI'm am tried by the Fire
Moses was a slave but God made him higher
you are bound to find a Lost King in my attire
And what history when you learning from a liar
I come from the empire of the order of Melchizedek
The power of the power your kingdom is irrelevant
earth is not my residence or heritage I'm alien
inheritance of Catherine's and royalty in elegance
I'm heaven sent, told you I'm a god from The God
that's Jah Allah YHWH Jehovah Elohim
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
You can read every text and memorize what you heard
but without the understanding all the knowledge is a blur
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
whats a Kingdom to an Empire
You can read every text and memorize what you heard
But knowledge without wisdom is a book without words

I'll never be your lady but ill always be your friend
I'm to busy livin life to be focused on a man
too busy for love, she a lil too busy for love
and I hope you find the time one day even if it ain't us
but if it ain't me who can you trust, she in a rush.. x2
don't be rushin in the mirror cuz
girl its hard when you Russian in America

...her new diet got her eatin more asparagus
... when you need her she won't be around
9 times outta 10 she be outta town
if it ain't in her schedule she ain't got it down
graduated but she giving me her cap and gown whoa
she like control .... she like power...
she like use'in all the how water in the shower
try to tell somethin she gon turn the music louder
do you for a minute cuz she don't believe in hours...
I hope she open her eyes
and see that time flies and she in for a ride
but for now she'll go blind for the sake of her pride
great at makein love but won't keep it alive
too busy for love, she a lil too busy for love
and I hope you find the time one day even if it ain't us
but if it ain't me who can you trust, she in a rush.. x2

I want your lips but i settle for your conversation
you want my kiss but you Settle for my conversation
...girl why we always play in game

I want your lips but i settle for your conversation
you want my kiss but you Settle for my conversation
...and I don't know where this is goin
guess we living in da moment...
you know I'm dealin wit some issue
but don't make me ride up to your city in a rental
Carolina Coolin to a Novej instrumental
if you tryna bring ya crew ill bring lil bro and drew coo
tellin me to keep in touch you full of double meaning
only call me when convenient, it's a double secret
but you know i ma keep it, II dont need a reason
love it when im comein , hate it when I'm leavein
if I moved into your town would you settle down
or would keep.me at a distance like you doin now
you keep in tellin me and tellin them I just a friend
when you know they know we know each other out and in
If I told you we could do this what would you reply
confess it with your mouth or doubt it with your eyes
this is just a start.. this is just my heart.
if you ain't feel in what I'm spilling this is just a thought
I want your lips but i settle for your conversation
you want my kiss but you Settle for my conversation
...girl why we always play in game
if I told you how I feel would you feel the same
I want your lips but i settle for your conversation
you want my kiss but you Settle for my conversation
...and I don't know where this is goin
guess we living in da moment...
on the phone I'm in the friend zone
first time we alone I'm in the end zone
now we can act like this ain't never happen
or I can see you one more time and we can reenact it
lights camera action, with no pictures takes
I ain't reach your door yet but I know you naked
we play in 21 , bust it so a break it
make it then you take it, tap you back to nathan
but why we always playin games....
sometimes I wonder if you'll ever change...
I never know whats on ya mind...
I just know we gettin older and you wastein time
But you don't seem concerned if we crash and burn
we both live and learn but what do it discern
something tellin me that I don't really know the truth
why can't you just keep it honest baby make ya move
I want your lips but i settle for your conversation
you want my kiss but you Settle for my conversation
...girl why we always play in game
if I told you how I feel would you feel the same
I want your lips but i settle for your conversation
you want my kiss but you Settle for my conversation
...and I don't know where this is goin
guess we living in da moment...
Delilah , you play with fire
I know a liar..
I'm growing tired of you duck in every question I inquire
Like I was wired, like you was hired
Just to play wit my emotions and my mind
Girl you let me feel you , but do you feel me
I mean really , call me soft or call.me silly Girl its chilly
And it's spring but the summer come in and I'm on the grind
and now you wanna tell me everything you got to hide....
finally got u in a real discussion
told me you ain't really single should've known u wasn't
I don't care if it's your boyfriend or your husband
if you ain't leavein him for me then I guess you love em
if I was any other man I would prolly love it
bit you chose me Cuz u knew I prolly wouldn't touch it
so when you talk relationships I am not the subject
time is money girl you never had me in the budget

Intro
T O N Y G I Joe Montana soprano
Charlotte North Carolina, the lover boy from Derita
I pull up in my impala I know I need some new wheels
but she gon' ride wit me anyway guess I'm keeping it real
I know that I need some guidance I spent some years in the bible
I say more money more problems she say akunamatata
she surprised I don't smoke nomo we would do that for hours
still I roll up the rello and mix the kush wit the sour
... Top Off... Conversation starter..
girl u make it easy but for me that makes it harder
some prefer to borrow... I prefer to barter
but you give it all for free, that far beyond my means, you agree?
she don't answer... she focused on the scheme
got me pointin' out her traits while she takin' off her jeans
....Black Queen... listen to a song
but she just turned the music off talkin bout I turn her on
I know all about your past what you tryna hide
asked me what's the biggest gang I threw a dollar sign
girl I ain't saying that you owe me but I'm spending time
but u ain't gotta pay in panties u can pay me mind
..baby listen to this track
you tell ya friends about this tell us friends about that
girl I ain't saying that you owe me but I'm spending time
but u ain't gotta pay in panties u can pay me mind
I get this feelin l like you being distant
Girl I made this song for you won't even listen
..I don't think i am but you say I'm trippin
Being wrapped up in your thighs makes you more convincing
I know you had a broken heart did you ever fix it
Did you cover up the scars from your parents splitin
Actin like you numb to it baby who you kiddin
Girl you always spend my time never pay attention
.... now she in a rush
Less talk more more touch never ever too much
What is love when it's us, lotta lust, lil trust
It's a shame when we cut, girl ya body even blush
I ain't tryna kill ya vibe I just wanna know ya deal
Is this healing all the pain that u say you never feel
just listen to this song of how in feel about you
But before I turned it on she go in for round 2
I know all about your past what you tryna hide
asked me what's the biggest gang I threw a dollar sign
girl I ain't saying that you owe me but I'm spending time
but u ain't gotta pay in panties u can pay me mind
..baby listen to this track
you tell ya friends about this tell us friends about that
girl I ain't saying that you owe me but I'm spending time
but u ain't gotta pay in panties u can pay me mind
I ain't jada but why, why you pay me no mind
do you run from commitment cuz I'm committed to rhymes
why when on ya bed we never get in the sheets
why do you love to treat me but don't allow me to treat
why are you such a freak, but come off so sidity
why when I tell you that you're beautiful you don't think that you're pretty
why when you ride from the front, you never lean into kiss me
why you tell me you love me, but don't tell me you miss me
break it down for the homie Tony Gi
show me all those little things that a few others only see
you lookin' for a soul mate , baby girl I might be
but we'll never ever know if you don't let your soul free
and this ain't the place to preach, but it might just be the best
cuz we never go to church and We hide behind the sex
her eyes showin me what she's been hidin all along
Her emotions are the reason she won't listen to a song
I know all about your past what you tryna hide
asked me what's the biggest gang I threw a dollar sign
girl I ain't saying that you owe me but I'm spending time
but u ain't gotta pay in panties u can pay me mind
..baby listen to this track
you tell ya friends about this tell us friends about that
girl I ain't saying that you owe me but I'm spending time
but u ain't gotta pay in panties

Kakalaki Klan killa if you kill an African-Americant
talkin to me like I'm Toby and I ain't
this is all I gotta say, white sheets yellow tape
red stains , pale face, Kunte Kinte wita K boy
Nat Turner ....meets Geronimo Pratt
cuz where i m at the don't care if the president is black
when we kill our own we load up wit 20 gates
so when they kill ours lets turn it into chiraq
... whats peace when it's fake
smile in your face say it's love when it's hate
if it's me that is slayed let email kill.me.in my throne
If they ever touch ya seed get ya justice on your own
but I'm just tryna live like Americans live
running up a tab on American bills
so American lie , American steal
American Rob, American kill
do y'all people see what American is
land of the free , home of the slave
Da dirts for the dead so you live with a K
you know the good come wit the bad these days
Lord forgive the sinner...
and since its just a sin Lord forgive the killer
Lord forgive the nigga
and since I'm such a monkey now the warfare gorilla
walk ups, Drive by s , and a sniper in Da window
We learned from the best , terrorist ex vets
These gangs are just tribes these Rhymes are just signs
Of a war and a rumor the promise of end times
So when a kind man gives up on mankind
and decides he will ride, cuz he is willing to die
to protect his bloodlines and broken family ties
it's The pride of a slave unchained and revived
this is Django in a verse, from the cradle to the hearse
From the dirt to the heavens, it 11 11
reapers gonna roll G's figure out the code
We are in war zone but we aimin at each other
6 5 all colors, will you be my war brothers
and let us live like Americans live
running up a tab on American bills
so American lie , American steal
American Rob, American kill
do y'all people see what American is
land of the free , home of the slave
smile in your face say it's love when it's hate
you know the good come wit the bad these days
