East New York, East New York
To my n—a AZ to the fullest

We was already loyal to people’s minds and mulianis
Now we more f—ed up with a mayor named Guliani
You can try to bomb me analyze but can’t define me
My mind’s divine heavily entwined with Ghandi’s

Far from feeble, I leave your nostrils hard to breathe through
‘Cause my cerebrals are more of a higher plane than the Hebrews
Well my mic devotion brings out my deepest emotions
Overdosing wannabes posing sending them through convulsions

To hard to follow, you took a bite but couldn’t swallow
Your mind’s boggled but I’m as deep as Donald Goines novels
My whole persona’s kinda laid back like a recliner
And since my mama, I been f—ing with marijuana

Ludicrously speedy, or infectious with the slow-mo
Heard me in the eighties, J Beez on the promo
On my never ending quest to get the paper on the
