LyricsJust Begun

Oh yes indeed

I like this

Ayo Hi-Tek

Do me a favor man

speed it up a lil bit

From the intro

you know I'm so influential

'cause I'm glowin' like a candle

The focus is so essential dog

What you tryna get into

I steady the flow

ready to blow

like snotty tissue

They snitchin' like Donnie Brasco

I'm countin' like Monte Cristo

The ghetto full of betrayal

like Iago and Othello

Your fellow neighbor will slay you

they'll smoke you like cigarillos

Police want that info

they'll grill 'em like Portobellos

I'm murderin' instrumentals

'cause I rap

with the conscience of villains

killers and monsters

So revealin' and honest

I'm still fulfillin' the promise

So nice I kill 'em with kindness

Hittin' like Muhammad Ali

you more like Tatyana

All this is probably karma

you dishonored the father

whether it's God Almighty

or the almighty dollar

We follow the prophets

like Islamics or the Dalai Lama

Your bullet points so hollow

they could prolly pierce body armor

Look in the scope

my people still a target

Smile on my face

tears of a sad clown

Feelin' out of place

as I whistle the cab down

If I tip extra

can I huff a cig

Blow my smoke out the window

droppin' ashes on the bridge ugh

I'm in New York now

like Akeem and Semmi was

Tryna get the lobby door open

from a semi-buzz

I just wanna go to the slum

and throw my money on the floor

like the Notorious BUM ugh

Build a home

teach a class

start a revolution

Free the mind

heal the body

talkin' evolution

This that Black Elohim Anunnaki rap

That Farrakhan

Hakeem Olajuwon

Qaddafi rap

I dedicate this

to my n####s in New Orleans

Rockin' black and gold stockin' caps

and fleur-de-lis Shockey hats

I'm in the courtroom screamin'

Who Dat on the devil

Servin' gumbo with a shovel dawg

I'm on another level

Me and Kweli come together

like two pieces of metal

We magnetizin' the ghetto

Yeah

Now here's the memo

I'm a rebel without a cause

a bezel without no flaws

And shawty you straight

bet you look way better

without no drawers

Let's sweat out this alcohol

bet I'm about to ball

and never let up

Look how I just crept up

without applause

Fed up with all the frauds

and left y'all without a job

The center of attention

this is clever I'm Pau Gasol

Really though I'm LeBron

Really don't got my mind

on this new school of rappers

I will really go Columbine

and throw up the diamond sign

Boy you know I'mma shine

Flow is in Ramadan

'cause couple years ago

the game had they pajamas on

But now they on my dick

man I should throw a condom on

Ayy 'cause a n#### comin' raw

like I ain't got one on

And I ain't stoppin'

nor coppin' no pleas

I just lock-and-load squeeze

Dawg I'm on a higher level

I'm on top of nosebleeds

N####s say they sick

but when they rock they don't sneeze

like that n#### on the block

wavin' his Glock but won't squeeze

Please

Hey

Look

Hold your applause

until the ceremony end

Yours truly truly blessed

yet again a noble planted

Supermagic abracadabra kid

Mysterious master

djinn blacker pen

Arrowhead with the long-barrel stem

and his apparel fresh

Harbor lights shinin' out

the black power grid

with the Black Power grip

and pure power don't power trip

Push the cellar ceiling up

and make the tower tip

The Gladwell point

and Babylon Palace

All about nothin'

where it's all about the dollar

and mansions on the fault line

of a shaky market

The Devil at the dance hall

thirsty for a partner

Get off him

there is not a parcel or a portion

or a measure of a fortune more awesome

gorgeous

The funky Four Horsemen and one more

with Hi-Tek on the score

once more of course

You're welcome

Thanks

Appreciation for your participation

Special dedication

Celebration

bitches
