Brother Ali rhymesayers Entertainment
Midwest a league Of Our Own
Volume 2 motherfucker fuck with me
Right now listen listen

You are now inside the brain of Americas best
Forrest Whittaker hungry
It's about to get ugly
Police with their arm extended can't touch me
Smacked in the face is how
This shit struck me like showstopper
A-L-I the Brother since 89's the number
And ain't tryin' to slumber
Representin' for the birth pain of my mother
Ali like Rocky, I train in the gutter
But it ain't about the tunnel
It's the light at the end
And we walkin' through life with
A mic and a pen
Mentality is that of a cat who gon eat
I grind till the sparks
Dance off the concrete stand close to me
Watch me hopefully
Cause you're gonna see my gift open
Up the door for me the last of a dying breed
Live MC look inside my eyes and see
What's inside of me

The ock got the fire in the eye
All head turn when the brother walk by
And you should know that when you got that
Little feelin' in your soul and you're cold
And tonight you might die ahhhhh!

The syllabus will be read aloud this evenin'
Watch out now if you're too
Opposed to be in this open season
You should know not to walk nearby the
Cage when it's this close to feedin'
Hold your feet in the flame ali is the name
You'll be chantin' "boom bye aye" when
You repeat it in vain his beats are insane
And you can ask any local wack rapper to
Show you where the teeth are ingrained
Even my lazy eye got that fire in it
Went from grindin' to shinin' and
Now sky's the limit they do it every day
Without disguise or gimmick
Your face look better when my
Fist grind up in it
This is the house that the Sayers build
Now I use it as a return
Address when I pay my bills
Pain and guilt fill the pages up
We gonna ride till our days is up
Motherfuckers say
