Good Lord - Brother Ali[00:00:00]
I said the good lord made me what[00:00:06]
I am and I play this game for keeps[00:00:08]
Got to use what I have to get what I want[00:00:11]
All the dreamer got is his dream[00:00:14]
And the good lord made me[00:00:17]
What I am and I play the hand I'm dealt[00:00:18]
Said sometimes the hardest thing to be in this world is just yourself[00:00:21]
Best believe the qur'an influenced all of my songs[00:00:27]
My fans run and tattoo 'em all on they arms[00:00:30]
Wanna travel be there every time I perform[00:00:32]
Now look me in my eye and tell me how am I wrong[00:00:35]
And who would of thought[00:00:37]
Just giving 'em the truth from my heart[00:00:38]
Both the ugly and the beautiful part[00:00:40]
Would give 'em food from thought let 'em chew it apart[00:00:42]
And they'd all crowd around me and my movement would start[00:00:45]
And how you gonna hate me for being what god made me[00:00:47]
It's not a game I ain't saying it playfully[00:00:51]
They relate to the joy and the pain in me[00:00:53]
And seeing me make it be watching a slave get free[00:00:56]
Holler like bilal in the tower[00:00:59]
Hiya Ala AL fallah Allah is the power[00:01:01]
Giving voice to the dream and let it be seen[00:01:03]
I admit it's obscene but deen recognize deen[00:01:06]
So it isn't pristine when I spit a sixteen[00:01:08]
Clean words don't describe the sh*t that I've seen[00:01:11]
But laying in the alley I whispered to shahada[00:01:14]
Bullets fly by from the drive by[00:01:16]
So imam Mohamed might pound on the podium[00:01:19]
Popmaster fabel work it out on the linoleum[00:01:21]
Chappelle bust funnies mos def bust rhymes[00:01:24]
Muhammad Ali is the greatest of all time[00:01:26]
I said the good lord made me[00:01:29]
What I am and I play this game for keeps[00:01:30]
Got to use what I have to get[00:01:34]
What I want all the dreamer got is his dream[00:01:35]
And the good lord made me[00:01:39]
What I am and I play the hand I'm dealt[00:01:41]
Said sometimes the hardest thing to be in this world is just yourself[00:01:44]
Something spiritual happen when them hands get to clapping[00:01:50]
Can you tell me what language do you laugh in[00:01:53]
The human reaction of smiles and cries[00:01:55]
What language are the tears when they're falling from your eyes[00:01:57]
You've probably seen the sunrise hundreds of times[00:02:00]
But let a painter paint it or a poet describe[00:02:02]
The very moment where heaven and earth might collide[00:02:05]
And god let the breath of life come outside[00:02:08]
Uh Satan doubted it angels bowed to it[00:02:10]
I'm so beautifully human and I'm proud of it[00:02:13]
Soul of a soldier heart of a scholar[00:02:16]
I wrote this poem with the blood of a martyr[00:02:18]
Imam Mohamed might pound on the podium[00:02:21]
Popmaster fabel work it out on the linoleum[00:02:23]
Chappelle bust funnies mos def bust rhymes[00:02:26]
Muhammad Ali is the greatest of all time[00:02:28]
I said the good lord made me[00:02:31]
What I am and I play this game for keeps[00:02:32]
Got to use what I have to get[00:02:35]
What I want all the dreamer got is his dream[00:02:37]
And the good lord made me[00:02:41]
What I am and I play the hand I'm dealt[00:02:42]
Said sometimes the hardest thing to be in this world is just yourself[00:02:46]
I said the good lord made me[00:02:51]
What I am and I play this game for keeps[00:02:53]
Got to use what I have to get[00:02:56]
What I want all the dreamer got is his dream[00:02:58]
And the good lord made me[00:03:02]
What I am and I play the hand I'm dealt[00:03:03]
Said sometimes the hardest thing to be in this world is just yourself[00:03:06]
A lot of cats[00:03:36]
Get up in an age around[00:03:38]
In their early 30's[00:03:40]
And they start to think of like lifetime companionship[00:03:42]
And that's when they start to meet ladies who[00:03:47]
Are not too prone to trust anybody[00:03:50]
And they got plenty of history to prove to you[00:03:53]
Why they shouldn't trust nobody[00:03:56]
I didn't know you then when all that stuff was going down[00:04:00]
Put them other cats away man[00:04:07]
And let me try to make something in your life[00:04:09]
