[Intro: Sample from the movie "Willie Dynamite"]
Girl this motherfucker got rhythm!!!!!

[Sample from "Promised Land" by Nairobi Sisters]
What a judgment this, will beeeeeee!!!
What a...

[Verse One: Phife Dawg]
So am I 'posed to be dead or doin' life in prison?
Just another dummy caught up in the system
Unruly hooligan who belongs in Spofford
Verse gettin' that degree at Stanford or Harvard
Threatened by my work ethic, the way I speak,yo
Should I be mentally weak, verse being Malik though
Should I be trapped in the trap? Would you preferred that?
Fourth grade reading level but he knows how to rap
Are you amused by our struggles? The English that's broken?
The weed that I'm smokin'? The guns that I'm totin'?
The drugs that I'm sellin'? No need for improvement
Fuck you and who you think I should be! Forward movement!

[Verse Two: Jarobi]
Melinated shrouded in complexity
Brain charge shocking like 'lectricity
Mouth translate happens organically
The media relates it what it, thinks it sees
Judging steps in shoes of a path they never walked
Shot down in a blaze of a phrases is how they talk
Dark skinned, walk with a bop portrayed villain
I'm chillin' felon down to the DNA crime willin'
Sublimate their youth hyper-sexualize their women
They ain't got the strong enough hold so they built the prisons
Pumpin' false religions to all of these niggas' systems
Every voice devoid of the truth, come on, listen

[Bridge: Sample from "Promised Land" by Nairobi Sisters] (Q-Tip)
What a judgment this, will beeeeeee!!! (Man look at this, man look at this)
What a...

[Verse Three: Q-Tip]
Whatever will be will be
Like a billionaire investin' in a nigga's dreams
Certainly a head scratcher like Pac and Big's killers' capture
Or a women with the wisdom who's leadin' the way
The rarity is in the rear but never today
Man picture a PD lettin' good records play
On the strength of what it is not the finesse of your biz
And your lady calls you dirty her dirts under rugs
You'll find out only if she tells you take her kiss and hug 
'Cause in the answer for cancer in a prodigious kid's mind
Yes the government will fund learning is free for everyone
And from that lie young leaders will rise In the eyes
Of despair and adversity In some universe, this verse will be true

[Bridge: Q-Tip]
Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin'
But whatever's gonna be will beeeee!!! (Sing to 'em)
Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin'
But whatever's gonna be will beeeee!!!
Some will dash to the mountain some will crawllllllll!!!!
And the weakest amongst them, they will fall
But the strongest in faith they will stand ta-a-a-a-a-a-a-all!!!
Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin'
But whatever's gonna be will beeeee!!!

[Verse Four: Consequence]
I just wanna feel as liberated as lions in Liberia
'Cause recently my heart turned cold as Siberia
'Cause everywhere I go bein' cold is the criteria
Let's see how well you know all your Tribe trivia
Green and the white we servin' that Nigeria
North side of Queens one-nine-two is the area
This is for my dawgs from Shih Tzus to Terriers
Fuck it it's showtime Tip make sure they hearin' ya
