Pen To Paper (动笔) - Brother Ali/Amir Sulaiman[00:00:00]

I am not beautiful I am an elegant beast[00:00:00]

A well-mannered monster a charming barbarian[00:00:05]

I will pillage your heart with language so lavishly violent[00:00:09]

You will curse me for coming and curse me for going[00:00:12]

Your crying and your moaning will share the same sound[00:00:16]

Put pen to paper the first time when I was barely eight or[00:00:47]

Maybe nine that was the late eighties Reagan time[00:00:50]

Put in the freshest tape rewinds wait let me take my time[00:00:54]

The entire landscape of that blank page was mine[00:00:57]

Created space to climb inside escape the crazy times[00:01:01]

Reshape the climate break it down that was my frame of mind[00:01:04]

Thank the divine great designing this as my sacred shrine[00:01:08]

I made myself a place to shine wait let me spray this rhyme[00:01:11]

When I was thirteen I met KRS he put me on the stage[00:01:15]

Suggested I read up on Malcolm X y'all know the rest[00:01:18]

So much pushing down on my chest[00:01:21]

Both my folks got laid to rest[00:01:23]

Loved ones wishing me all the best[00:01:24]

I'm a ball of stress yet I digress[00:01:26]

I've spent my every hopeless dream and my unspoken secret[00:01:28]

You hear it floating through your speakers in my old releases[00:01:31]

My fanbase began to grow beneath crowd around me[00:01:35]

I never tiptoed 'round here shy I spit it loud and proudly[00:01:39]

The u s government profiled me and the sponsors dropped me[00:01:42]

Some of my listeners felt a way so they no longer got me[00:01:45]

I knew that telling that truth is costly no one alive can stop me[00:01:49]

I rolled that flag out on the ground and prostrated my body[00:01:52]

This is more than music to me this is ancestors[00:01:56]

Speaking through me at the tomb of Rumi[00:01:59]

My mic's a rifle I'm honor bound to fire my weapon truly[00:02:01]

Whether they jeer me cheer me boo salute me or just shoot me[00:02:04]

Let it be known my whole life I break that cycle set it in stone[00:02:08]

I'd still rather be known as a man that stand on my own[00:02:12]

Rather than beg at a throne cold[00:02:14]

You know I still honor my own code that go down to the bone[00:02:16]

We just want to get it on shooting at the devil[00:02:19]

With a megaphone till we dead and gone[00:02:21]

Boom[00:02:23]
