[00:07.684]Gotta let 'em know
[00:10.103]Gotta let 'em know 'bout the name
[00:12.657]Gotta let 'em know
[00:15.025]Gotta let 'em know 'bout the game
[00:17.742]Gotta let 'em know
[00:20.270]Gotta let 'em know 'bout the name
[00:22.824]Gotta let 'em know
[00:27.240]Lord the world thinks you've left the streets
[00:29.161]And you ain't the kind of guy
[00:30.700]That would bless the beats
[00:32.051]And because you ain't busting heat
[00:33.920]That you can't relate to being tempted
[00:35.824]To grind to eat
[00:37.204]To flip a little ecstasy
[00:39.052]Just playing roll for your seed
[00:40.982]Like a sesame
[00:42.071]Or the meaning of thug destiny
[00:44.174]Or to know what's all up
[00:45.540]In a mix like a recipe
[00:47.228]They can't possibly think that
[00:48.832]You paid your dues
[00:49.863]When you ran the streets
[00:51.082]Of old jeruz
[00:52.100]You wasn't the don with the god father nod
[00:54.876]But visible father god and you ran your squad
[00:57.406]And now you run inside of cats
[00:58.760]With backward hats and boots
[01:00.016]Evangelical hip hop modern day recruits
[01:02.599]And just like jews and gafilta fish
[01:05.215]Ain't too many dudes that are built for this
[01:07.534]We grind for souls
[01:08.557]Forget what the liar told
[01:10.001]You give throwback jersey for choir robes
[01:12.822]Sunday clothes
[01:14.911]If you catch us in the pulpit
[01:16.338]It's in the fitted's and black gibuard's
[01:18.033]Here's the goals
[01:18.988]Take the risk light the coals
[01:20.545]Bring the heat flex the gift
[01:22.314]Break the molds
[01:23.178]Recruit enlist
[01:24.101]Fulfill the great commish
[01:25.454]And like l j said
[01:26.754]We trying to rock the souls
[01:28.126]Who's mic is this
[01:29.540]I'm in it but I I ain't of it
[01:31.321]I live it but I don't love it
[01:33.105]Who's life is this
[01:34.621]I admit it
[01:35.373]I ain't above it
[01:36.397]I gotta get it
[01:37.341]But I don't covet
[01:38.300]Who's world is this
[01:39.403]It's dated
[01:40.421]Many love it
[01:41.327]I hate it
[01:42.086]But I don't judge it
[01:43.222]Who's world is this
[01:44.768]Not to conform
[01:46.079]Who's life is this
[01:47.463]Here to transform
[01:48.579]Who's mic is this
[01:49.903]Flavor not norm
[01:51.179]Salt and light among the night
[01:53.138]Word bond
[01:53.785]That's right word bond
[01:55.139]I'm trying to kingdom work like I got a third arm
[01:57.681]Most hip hop needs ********* turn on yak or bourbon
[02:01.488]But not these words from the street that turn psalm
[02:04.200]Brooklyn to guam we ring thee alarm
[02:06.560]Watch god get his in hip hop for certain
[02:09.130]Don't front this culture needs a clear display
[02:11.532]A clearer way somebody make it clear today
[02:14.043]It's hard to look on my outward to peep my in
[02:16.530]That's like trying to see my heart beat inside my skin
[02:18.978]But if you know hip hop courses inside my veins know all
[02:22.323]Hip hop's blood types ain't the same
[02:24.156]I'm transfused witht eh blood of an ancient king
[02:26.738]He paid dues and now I can't help but bling
[02:29.395]But not ice ain't talking about a life of crime
[02:31.917]My whole crew don't know nothing but a life of
[02:34.537]It ain't strange new birth done met the knock
[02:36.946]It done changed the church done met the block
[02:39.484]It's so plain the god of the israelites
[02:42.061]Got a pain in his heart for the dismal types
[02:44.759]He ain't' concerned about your plaits and your tiny roots
[02:47.202]He even thinks you kinda fly with your shiny tooth
[02:49.849]He left us in the world and said mix it up
[02:52.209]But with a righteous kind of flow that picks it up
[02:54.900]Before satan can 666 it up
[02:57.511]He gone bust through the sky and fix it up
[02:59.989]But 'til then let this culture make us proud
[03:02.580]But only to the point where it starts acting foul
[03:05.264]And if it does ain't no time ot blackout dude
[03:07.564]You gotta put in a hold and make it tap
[03:09.757]Out oooooo
[03:10.519]'Cause to god hip hop got to bow and blush
[03:12.839]We dont' live for hip hop hip hop lives for us
[03:16.512]Gotta let 'em know
[03:18.985]Gotta let 'em know 'bout the name
[03:21.734]Gotta let 'em know
[03:23.863]Gotta let 'em know 'bout the game
[03:26.711]Gotta let 'em know
[03:29.239]Gotta let 'em know 'bout the name
[03:31.877]Gotta let 'em know
[03:36.837]To each his own
[03:37.789]But none will ever come unseat the throne
[03:40.266]Salt penetrates from meat to bone
[03:42.291]We tryinna to reach the pain
[03:43.555]Bring the peace 'til they say preach it homes
[03:46.045]Teach it man keep your dough
[03:47.719]'Cause this is strictly on a need to know
[03:49.842]Yo everybody need to know
[03:51.579]That's why I gotta lace the flow
[03:53.192]'Til men holla
[03:53.936]Like japan hollas ichiro
[03:56.148]Men gotta need like pizza dough
[03:58.295]We pull we stretch but do we ever really reach
[04:00.664]Them though
[04:01.392]I don't mean no harm but I'll bet the farm
[04:03.652]Some put the weight of the mission on skill and charm
[04:06.756]And they get iller than all their killing evolves
[04:09.132]But with no alarm cm will remain calm
[04:11.917]Lord how long the wait cuase this is a long debate
[04:14.637]Neither side wants to prolong the hate
[04:16.711]They say we reach the church and they reach the streets
[04:19.380]But can't find an in or out of season to preach
[04:21.765]And there's only two but you kept the charge the same
[04:24.402]The harvest is ready but the workers lame
[04:26.924]I say we reach the church and we reach the streets
[04:29.557]And some don't believe and I'll catch the heat
[04:31.887]But we'll take the lash word bond
[04:34.133]But they'd be surpised if they know who was ringng
[04:36.651]The horn
[04:37.288]But ain't no beef 'cause we all still fam
[04:39.727]I'm gonna shut my teeth and not give the enemy
[04:41.794]A chance
[04:42.426]But just know this this our only main stance
[04:44.728]Trust the wisdom of god and not the stratz of man
[04:47.210]Who's mic is this
[04:48.953]I'm in it but I I ain't of it
[04:50.579]I live it but I don't love it
[04:52.127]Who's life is this
[04:53.602]I admit it
[04:54.375]I ain't above it
[04:55.359]I gotta get it
[04:56.378]But I don't covet
[04:57.378]Who's world is this
[04:58.869]It's dated
[04:59.677]Many love it
[05:00.580]I hate it
[05:01.324]But I don't judge it
