Bilingual
We used to sit up on a stoop and dream about it
Now they read about us jumping out of Jeep Denalis
Travel cross the world
Couldn't squeeze the street up out us
Quiet still our moves be the loudest got the vivid color palettes
Written in italic, dripping like Italian fabric
Add the static then it's out ya price range, once the balance added
Treat em mostly like Steve Francis and Cutino Mobley
They love this, my publicist is when the streets promote me
Only a few that really know me, I'm enigmatic
Nodding while you telling me stories like I pretend it matters
Cinematic with the pen I speak to demographics
Send the tab, I'm a fuck around give em a classic
Pull ups in the gym status, eating veggie plates
Then meditate, living life at a Machiavellian pace
You petty fake and I can tell from ya facial tone
Mad cause I'm always away from home and I get paid to zone
Huh, I made the name known like claymore mines
And pay no mind to switch siders who play both sides
I'm on my lay low grind you don't see me but I'm getting it
Known to push the envelope, you can stuff a check in it
Don't mad at me I used be king raggedy
Fiends nagging me yo I had to breath
Don't mad at me I used be king raggedy
Fiends nagging me yo I had to breath
Don't mad at me I used be king raggedy
Fiends nagging me yo I had to breath
Don't mad at me I used be king raggedy
Fiends nagging me yo I had to breath

88, that other summer
The mighty Mets failed and
The robbery of the finest fabrics forged a medallion
Brownsville had the Ls and the Heart had the universals
But Skillastrator's here in the lettered
Lung of Medina, Sunset Park
Donde todos son Boricuas
Where chancletas flew and coquis came to die
Quietly learning the letters that make word bond
Never forgot the plight
When there was no place given to my demographics
Separating the Black from the Brown tactics
History of omission, headlines of micro aggression
And the songs of redemption surprised and depressed
All I could hear were falsettos on ladders
Voices that shrieked in blissed ears
A lovely pitch only to the daring
And I dared
Even as Confucian ammunition seemed to load forever
Even if the victory champagnes of
Che be deemed never to pour
And even as Allah's Supreme
Math keeps me joyously poor in sacrifice
I persevered, this Original man of Puerto Rican descent
Read all I could from
How we lament, frequent, circumvent and
Invent
Wrote pieces in scholarly tones and the wild accents
True and living God ascent
Prevail in the Occident
And I became Allah School in Mecca's teacher
The last thousand Thursday nights
Sharing curriculums of revolution
Fast and build
Spar and train
Teach on all terrain
Sometimes I signify but mostly build on why
Plus lessons that interpolate Blue in Green
ArtOnArt culture with ScienceOnMusic supplements
Working the trade of the inspirant
Inspire freedom, create culture
Powerful Equality
All Children Empowered
And I love this life of martial treasures
Schooling lectures and
Pubbing breakbeat scoops
With my Sacred WORDS
I inscribed another element on Sedgwick
A supremacy seen and read in all the N.E.W.S
The Northern needs
Eastern eats
Western ways and
Southern adorances
Sunez Allah
Almighty, all ways
