Mothership

Yo, I brought this back from the future Light speed boosters warp speed cruisers The flames burn fuchsia Took the Hayabusa to the year of the rooster Trees in the hooka puffin with Mansa Musa I asked him 'bout the empire he said build 'em Like we used to Mali, Andalusia, young Somali troopers Roll with a crew, get your true Herus up Y'all the real blue bloods and Keep your assets liquid like a juicer I thanked him for his time, he said your shine is mine My shine is thine we the same line If any time you in a bind look for the sign The star and the crescent, class is in session This the first lesson; ancient monuments left a Lasting impression but these rappers rather be Alter boys their rhymes are confessions Yo stop guessing, we cast out the bankers Teach the world about the essence (the essence) And tell them trustees we grown up we woke up That throne us Them contracts they put on us they can't Hold us no longer We run these streets Pamplona Young owners take over Young prophets stay sober stay parve Stay kosher Young Brova, agent for the treaty of Verona? Or mixing something poisonous with your soda? There's a church on every corner You're totally disconnected from the ancestors Transgressions and lesson plans is planned obsolescence Sans phosphorescence, you left them in the dark You left them in the flood; It's cool we build an ark You made a covenant with governments that Fund the narcs Then brag about sellin' crack to brothers in the park This not dissin' this a cosmic transmission I'm just the messenger bringing facts to kill the fiction Listen, I ain't worried 'bout your treason and sedition While you ballin' for baubles We continue with the mission (the mission) Listen, I bring that fresh water consciousness Save you from the nonsense Extra special operative rescuing the mental hostages Waking up the dead, take the lid off they sarcophagus Help 'em see the truth the red pill down the esophagus Ain't no stoppin' this we cast out conquerors Ride on their metropolis and take back the obelisks Restore continents, restore common sense to the populous Restore confidence to the goddesses Now these labels callin' persistent like telemarketers Wanna sign him up so they can bind him up Put him in a contract, dotted line him up then Shine up his face and prime time him up, but I'll never let 'em put the scrolls on hold Or profit off the prophecy with scrolls cross bones Tryin to give me fiat notes for old gold Real money stay hard real money stay cold!
