Brother Ali - Think it Through lyrics
[Brother Ali - Think it Through lyrics]
Attack fame with cerebral cortex
In your brains
So my effects will remain long
After the trends change
Son, I'll bend your name
Rearrange your molecules
Amongst Hip-Hop dudes
Brother Ali be droppin' jewels
Impossible to fool
I'm like Picasso with the tool a fossil
Old-school rapper passing all the rules
Never hostile to your crew but
Colossal with my moves
When my face is in the place
Y'all start droppin' that stool
I did a lot in schools and
That three years are cool
But known as about a Muslim MC
Super-duper Brother Ali is rockin'
Goofies and loose jeans
The last years Timberlands
Dodgin' deuce-deuce teams
Who seem to wanna wet me
Cause they girlfriends sweat me
For the way I interact with my peers
They respect me because I respect them
And let them speak the peace and
Get my two cents in
My conversation was deep back then
"Take these words home and think it through"
"Greater mission
I hope that you're listening"
Brother Ali sign the dotted line
On the architectural design in your mind
And redesign your outline
I shout rhymes through a dynamic mic
Automatic hype and if I'm slammin right
Change the way you look at your life
And all you can say is Ali
Came to shook it tonight
And just stand back shake your head
And look at the sight
And now my soul can breathe a sigh of relief
For squashing all prior beef cause don't
Nobody wanna die on the streets
Rely on the beats to save ya
You'll never get help
Get a chance to go for self
And what you do? Go for self
I got a wealth of wisdom
So I skip the player themes
Instead I'm aiming off the hot sense
Of your brain with laser beams
My ways and means have
Always produced amazing scenes
Not like the phony fellas
Come at you fake like Maybeline
But got major cream whenever I, label jeans
But when I get up in your
Brain I reawaken your dreams
Know what I mean?
"Take these words home and think it through"
"Greater mission
I hope that you're listening"
Yo, I've got a mission to add traditions
To the inscriptions on your cognitions
To provide you with provisions
You wishin' you could understand
Why Ali is here
But when the student is prepared
The teacher appears
And I've been speaking for years
Of passage you got that?
You still tryin' to understand the
Metaphor for where Hip-Hop at
Have you ever thought that every time
You listen to a track
That's four minutes of your life that
You can never get back?
And that's a hell of an investment
So when MC's blessing
We gotta think very hard about the message
I ain't tryin' to hear about you
Sippin Crystal in the Bahamas
When I'm drinkin Nestle Quik on a
Crowed bus full of maecenas
And give us appetite to check by knowledge
I'm starving for Versace but
You never mention college
So I'm supposed to get it and
Be a rap star like you
How many of us can do that for real? Very few
If I sell drugs, or die, or go to jail
Or go to hell either way
If you keepin' it real how come there's
No truth to what you say? Remember this
We make rap stars rich
And company's even richer
I aim for your brain until
You get the picture
"Take these words home and think it through"
"Greater mission
I hope that you're listening"
In your brains
So my effects will remain long
After the trends change
Son, I'll bend your name
Rearrange your molecules

Brother Ali be droppin' jewels
