But now, love is so much better And Lord knows, if my words don't come together Just listen to the melody Cause my love Is in there" "Just listen to the melody" "Just listen to the melody" "Just listen to the melody" "Just listen to the melody" "Baby" Yo what's the deal love? I know it's been a minute Since I set aside time just for us to kick it But you know how it is in this biz You gotta go and make paper from these numerous gigs But, you the reason why I keep it going The threshold to my honor, a privilege that I'm blessed to know and Even through rain, hell or snow and Regardless to the stress you still push to keep the love flowing I done had a share of love that done came and went Lacking the patience it takes to build an establishment You like a diamond in the rough to a cave of wonders You got the treasure that could split a man's heart asunder When the world starts to rain and thunder You're the bridge of support that I go and seek shelter under From cold winters to the hot summers You're the love that I cherish that be, there ain't no need to wonder If you think I ain't feeling your scene I urge you by all means just, "just listen to the melody" When you think the communication is low And you just wanna know just, "just listen to the melody" When you wondering if I ever miss you Whenever I'm not with you just, "just listen to the melody" And that's my word, regardless to our problems in the world Just know that you gon' always be my "baby" We disagree on a lot of topics But life itself is a test sometimes you gotta weigh your options I use a vision that's microscopic When it comes to our family's future within a world of carnage I never thought I could cherish something that's special So I thank my Lord on the daily that He wrote to send you And my life as my wife, I never would've guessed it You be the blessing of foundation that's manifested I know at times we done gave each other some drama But the making of process made me a father A gift I could never trade The best thing you can have in this life by me within the last days This is just a beginning phase Of what's to come as we strive together seeking the Lord's face You my Khadijah, I wouldn't want to be without it You my completion of life and that's without a doubt Real love. uh huh... yeah

Just look at us, everything is backwards. Everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health. Lawyers destroy justice. Universities destroy knowledge. Governments destroy freedom. The major media destroys information and religions destroy spirituality. That's where we are! "As you look... up to the sky Oh God" Uh. What niggas be saying? Church. Hahaha. You're gonna "church" your ass all the way to Hell nigga. Deliver us from evil. Amen! All I want for Christmas is a big booty whore A Maybach coupe and a Playstation 4 Praise the Lord I'm playing the Temptations Motown, Apollo Brown a D conversation Not a nomination, not a mason, not Obamanation Not Osama/Satan, not healthcare.gov I don't got a lot of patience, my inauguration out of hibernation I'm sovereign, Moorish, a one man nation "Oh God" So many bitches I should share 'em But homie you a bender, the eunuch in a harem King Solomon's Mine's, Father Time Yet you would turn water to wine So I'm drunk enough to turn your average daughter to dimer Beverly Hills messiah, plastic surgeon's, Delilah New tits, bad witch just to trick Samson In the barber chair but still strong, where's my handgun? Every second precious 'fore the Terminator's catch us Plug us in the Matrix, turn our brains in to ketchup The Matrix called "the cloud", Terminator's is the drones Humans are genetically modified clones "God" Deliver us from evil Deliver us from evil "God" Deliver us from evil Deliver us from evil "Oh God" The British throne really German Family named the Battenbergs 'Bout as royal as Duck Dynasty in Johannesburg They ask me if I'm Muslim cause I don't eat swine Nah, let's call it kosher, my original culture Cried what Hitler did to Jews by the Rhine But two wrongs don't make it right when you occupy Palestine And white Christians, mission assisting the end times Gon' flip they wigs when Jesus the cast of Good Times Black skin, big lips, hair full of dreads Prolly got his music bumping, why He can't hear our prayers 'Pac wondered If Heaven Got A Ghetto Marlon Brandon tweeted me, "Heaven is Soweto" A lot of poor east Asians, niggas and Latinos Heaven is Highland Park in Puerto Rico And if you ain't our color brother, I should let you know There's another place down below, where you can go Let us pray. Our father who art in Heaven. Hollowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come. They will be done on Earth As It Is In Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us no

Freedom is not free I wanna know why Officer Darren Wilson didn't go to jail For killing our brother Micheal Brown, I wanted to know why I wanted to know why Goerge Zimmerman didn't go To jail for killing Tray von, I wanted to know why And the reason is because America is at war the black man You do not go to jail for carrying out your responsibilities to your state That's why no police will ever go to jail for killing a black man Because war has been declared on the black man It's the black man who simply won't accept it Look, the art of war, is a meaning behind a message You don't need a gun or a sword if you treat your mind as the weapon Our colours is hidden, there's secrets teachers hide in they lessons History books was full of people with white complexions Reach the heights your destined, nigga, we define our essence, uh Took my rap money, made a team from our investments Get my family out the hood, the only reason why I'm stressin' Small city but niggas carry heat the size of precious Look, I speak on shit you other rap niggas nervous to say The purchase I pay, more than most niggas earn at my age My purpose was made, from my birth, was determined for grade The land of the free, unless your black you served in a cage For my niggas behind the wall tryna learn or betray You get free and they make it hard just to earn up a wage You either return to the cage or get murdered in graves That's the power, how racist judges could turn us to slaves We celebrate one hundred and fifty years of freedom, did ya'll know that? Since 2015, one hundred fifty years, what do we got, black folks? Where's our airplanes? What do we got? Where's our supermarkets? What do we got? Where's our schools? What do we got? Where's our banks? What do we got? A hundred and fifty years of freedom, whatever Yo, compared to the wise 'cause went to war with just my ears and eyes The greatest victories come to those who prepare when it's time Inspired by mum and seeing mommy with tears in her eyes Smokin' cigarettes while she playin' out Mary J. Blidge Racist cops shoot at our kings, they even got a noose if you free One shot could turn your blood to a pool when you bleed Poison our mind, even poison the food that we eat Choke us out in broad day 'til we can't move or can't breathe I'm the female Mansa Musa to the niggas Generational wealth without playin' a due for my niggas I'm the palm reader, look how I hand of future the niggas Was music to my ears so i hand a flute to my niggas All praise is due to the highest as God protect me I'd give you food for thought but my diet was Dr. Sebi Kings killing kings won't get to be led, let it be violent What's worse than being physically dead is mentally dying America has the highest incarceration rate on the planet And most men, black men in jail Are in jail for non-violent, drug-related offences In other words, he was sellin' crack and heroin on the street Because he couldn't find a decent job Through which he could earn enough to take care of his family So who is responsible when the black male is miseducated Economically castrated, comes out of jail Cannot find any opportunity to set his life for right? Can't get welfare, can't get healthcare Can't get public housing, can't get student loans So he breaks the law again and goes back We look at him, how about the system? Freedom is not free
