Shadows On The Sun - Brother Ali[00:00:00]

We'd like to capture your minds right now[00:00:01]

What you say[00:00:04]

Take you a little bit higher[00:00:06]

What you say[00:00:10]

What you say[00:00:12]

What you say[00:00:15]

I like the snares loud enough[00:00:20]

To make your eyes blink from it[00:00:21]

Only male with the holy grail drink from it[00:00:22]

I keep an eye on heaven and an ear to the street[00:00:25]

And spread a thick layer of blood[00:00:28]

Sweat and tears on the beats[00:00:30]

My brain rest upon the hiphop lexicon[00:00:31]

That I acquired in the decade of work[00:00:34]

That people slept upon[00:00:36]

I don't rap I recite the prayers of the inner soul[00:00:37]

Of the slaveships' human cargo[00:00:40]

Seemingly meaningless rappers flood the market[00:00:42]

With shit that make me pace in my room[00:00:45]

Until I rip the carpet[00:00:47]

I'm fit to start up this next millennium[00:00:48]

Swingin' the grappling hook[00:00:50]

At cackling crooks to finish em[00:00:52]

The city dweller singin' telegrams from neverland[00:00:53]

The better man kind now kindly join the caravan[00:00:56]

We're like a rock band that pack contraband[00:00:59]

And won't hesitate to stomp[00:01:02]

A man into the rocks and sand[00:01:03]

Brother Ali and if you haven't heard about me[00:01:05]

I'm flyin' just beneath your[00:01:07]

Radar so y'all can doubt me[00:01:09]

Stay on the sonar with crowbars to open minds[00:01:10]

There's a ladder you're supposed to climb[00:01:13]

Approach a rhymesayer with a buggsy siegel sized ego[00:01:15]

You gon' get yourself snatched out[00:01:18]

The sky you know the steelo[00:01:20]

By now where what why and how[00:01:21]

We start the revolution real time right now[00:01:24]

Yes leave it to me to create hope where there was none[00:01:26]

The human being shall cast shadows on the sun[00:01:30]

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none[00:01:33]

My inner soul shall cast shadows on the sun[00:01:35]

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none[00:01:38]

The human being shall cast shadows on the sun[00:01:41]

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none[00:01:44]

My inner soul shall my inner light shall[00:01:47]

I rhyme for cats up in the harbored lights[00:01:49]

Prayin' they don't starve tonight[00:01:50]

And stay positive in the face of a harder life[00:01:52]

My chorus light the torch[00:01:54]

For those on whom the sun set[00:01:56]

Verses meant to speak for the voiceless[00:01:57]

So let us never be dismayed or afraid[00:02:00]

The ground we're walking on is stained[00:02:02]

With the blood of those before us who came[00:02:04]

Soldiers in this freedom[00:02:06]

Movement are too numerous to name[00:02:06]

Cause the human soul yearns[00:02:08]

To be free it's all the same[00:02:10]

I rhyme for runaways prayin'[00:02:11]

That they see another day[00:02:13]

You gotta make it through[00:02:14]

The winter to feel some summer days[00:02:15]

It's for my natives[00:02:17]

It's history in the way their hair is braided[00:02:18]

Elephants never forget that's how they say it[00:02:20]

Tell my man hasim in prison[00:02:22]

Keep grinnin' because he's innocent[00:02:24]

And tell him that the tests we get are heavensent[00:02:25]

Listen I rap for the ones that[00:02:28]

Johnny cash wore the black for[00:02:29]

Black and white women[00:02:31]

That were turned to crack whores[00:02:32]

And I empty everything in the bank to give for it[00:02:34]

I empty all the days of my life to live for it[00:02:37]

And I empty all the blood in my veins to fight for it[00:02:39]

So I empty all the ink in this pen to write for it[00:02:42]

Yes leave it to me to create[00:02:44]

Hope where there was none[00:02:46]

The human being shall cast shadows on the sun[00:02:48]

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none[00:02:51]

My inner soul shall cast shadows on the sun[00:02:54]

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none[00:02:56]

The human being shall cast shadows on the sun[00:02:59]

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none[00:03:02]

My inner my inner my inner my inner[00:03:05]

Yes I glance in the sky and see[00:03:07]

The same cloud configuration[00:03:09]

That Nat Turner saw the day they hanged him[00:03:11]

Resisted in the face of adversity[00:03:13]

With a fist and it was raised[00:03:14]

One finger extended meaning allah be praised[00:03:16]

Spent days in heaven's embassy[00:03:19]

On Koran pages allah explains this legacy[00:03:21]

Angels doubted adam Jacob's brothers clapped him[00:03:24]

And ancient pharaohs were too brutal to fathom[00:03:27]

If all the earth's oceans were ink and the trees were pens[00:03:29]

You could never write the knowledge of god it never ends[00:03:32]

And I know it feels like the whip wounds will never mend[00:03:35]

But it's the way of god makin' the oppressed prevalent men[00:03:38]

We standin' with humanity at destiny's door[00:03:41]

Chanting the war cry it goes never no more[00:03:43]

So if y'all tryna talk about the horrors you see[00:03:46]

Feel free to tell your stories through me[00:03:49]

Yes leave it to me to create hope where there was none[00:03:52]

The human being shall cast shadows on the sun[00:03:55]

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none[00:03:58]

My inner soul shall cast shadows on the sun[00:04:01]

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none[00:04:03]

The human being shall cast shadows on the sun[00:04:06]

Leave it to me to create hope where there was none[00:04:09]

My inner soul shall my inner life shall[00:04:12]

There's only one God and he's not just above[00:04:14]

There's only one man and there's only one love[00:04:17]

Till everybody gets what I instill in my seed[00:04:20]

For that y'all we willing to bleed[00:04:23]

There's only one God and he's not just above[00:04:25]

There's only one woman and there's only one love[00:04:28]

We doin' this till all of Adam's children are freed[00:04:31]

And for that y'all we willin' to bleed[00:04:34]
