The Quickening Lyrics

I'mma be alright / live my life as long as I'm alive / I ride on



 five eightybut I'm not an eighty fiver / usually exit High / enough to



 fly like Egyptian gliders / bringing the message to the Black man like



 Elijah / Honorabledid I mention? / No dissent among the strivers / no



 tension / the fights are just the lessons / in life / I'm a subscriber to



 the Call / that's final / fiend for the knowledge / like my DJ feinds for



 vinyl / hold the microphone like a habitual user / like winos clutch wine



 bottles in my (their) death grotto / until my skin gets mottled / don't



 expect to get coddled / cuz see me patna / I wasn't raised in no family



 that got up to pops reading stocks / it was more like he was down the block



 at my uncles' / rollin' up chops, gettin' off knocks, / had the whole damn



 neigborhood on lock, / back before the game was hard, like rocks, yet



 lightweight like glocks / this shit don't stop / it's as frightening as the



 idea of a Million / Black men marching on Washington / might have been to



 some people / but then only if we're not equal as / shoulders get colder,



 individuals get older and bolder / I aint buyin' what they sold ya I'm a



 soldier / the Warriors first round number one pick like Joe Smith / thought



 I told ya I aint average / I manage to move my mandible rapidly to scold ya



 / got a powerfull rol(e)l as flamby as the average niggas plan B / outta be



 runnin shit in 96 ala Marcus Camby can be can he do it? / all night / 'til



 the early morning breakadawn light / I flow like fluid out ya spicket,



 rough and wicked when I kick it yet / Righteous / and I might just never



 even quit / because it's only to the will of Allah that I submit /



 Righteous / and I might just never ever quit / because it's only to the



 will of Jah that I submit like that
