Brother Ali is back in town |
| [00:23.88] |
Came a long way to make that sound |
| [00:26.68] |
Break through Earth from hallowed ground |
| [00:29.12] |
Played with my blood to wear this crown |
| [00:31.67] |
Brother Ali is back in town |

Leader of men boss of my organization |
| [00:47.35] |
I ain't in to bein ostentatious |
| [00:49.34] |
I offered the pages that |
| [00:50.30] |
Caught a lot of y'all in the Matrix |
| [00:52.46] |
Soon as I caught a break I was off to the races |
| [00:55.02] |
Invaded the remotest possible places |
| [00:57.46] |
Seen it first hand yeah it's hard to explain it |
| [00:59.95] |
I've been around the world |
| [01:00.79] |
Left my heart on them stages |
| [01:02.57] |
They want your boy all all on they faces |
| [01:05.07] |
Hollered out a roar they holla in amazement |
| [01:07.50] |
I follow all the greatest A-list taste makers |
| [01:10.39] |
That shaped this and they're all innovators |
| [01:12.64] |
I'm so firmly grounded in the basics |
| [01:14.79] |
Yeah dishonor get pounded to the pavement |
| [01:17.10] |
Dealin with the voice of the nameless faceless |
| [01:19.47] |
Face it your participation ain't gonna be painless |
| [01:22.60] |
I won't debate that I'm sort of a sadist |
| [01:25.15] |
I use most your faces to sharpen my blade with |
| [01:27.77] |
Combat takin place not entertainment |
| [01:30.14] |
Lives been lost it's a hostile arrangement |
| [01:32.89] |

Played with my blood to wear this crown |
| [01:52.95] |
Uh your eyes never spied where I've been |
| [01:56.00] |
Low parts where the heights of rhymin |
| [01:58.56] |
Back alleys where the dice is flying |
| [02:00.81] |
Darkness is trying the lights are blinding |
| [02:03.49] |
Sheist environment the nights are violent |
| [02:05.68] |
Red beam silent the siren's crying |
| [02:07.99] |
Clean mighty tights or your life surviving |
| [02:10.54] |
Nights where the roaches or mice might slide in |
| [02:13.41] |
|
| [02:14.04] |
The highest you can climb is that limelight |
| [02:16.15] |
And so downing on that mic meant fighting |
| [02:18.24] |
|
| [02:18.80] |
Braggin rights are all that you rhyme with |
| [02:20.86] |
Can't stand to see all your pride get sliced in |
| [02:23.36] |
When the spotlight hit my shit y'all just |
| [02:25.85] |
Bet I'm a stomp this motherf**kin party |
| [02:28.15] |
Till it's cold and lifeless |
| [02:29.95] |
Close your eyelids behold the righteous |
| [02:32.14] |
It's cold as night gets |
| [02:33.95] |

Played with my blood to wear this crown |
| [02:53.07] |
|

There was a standoff |
| [03:17.85] |
And there's like a Russian dude a old black pimp dude |
| [03:20.54] |
Some gangsta black dude some Armenian dude |
| [03:23.03] |

Like a weirdo but street angry grown ass men |
| [03:28.71] |
Against me and Dibbs and Art and the God Loves Ugly crew |
| [03:32.21] |
And it's like a line and I walk in between 'em |
| [03:34.47] |
And I just start going off |
| [03:36.09] |
Like Cause Blood like motherf**ker |

| [03:43.95] |
But you know like |
| [03:44.66] |
The old pimp dude had a piece or something |
| [03:46.45] |
Like a gun or something |
| [03:47.63] |
And it was about to jump off |
| [03:49.69] |
And then he goes like "oh ain't you Brother Ali " |
| [03:52.11] |
