K-Rino - Elijah lyrics

Elijah ain't the dead
The hypocrites' just scared in due time haha
In due time let me tell you about him

Yeah, straight out of Sandersville, Georgia
The 7th child born to his
Mother and his father grew up in the time of
Where blacks had rare options
Not even 10 years old, already sharecropping
Working in the field at a real early age
Imagine a child quitting school
In the 3rd Grade
There was something special about him
They couldn't comprehend it
He became a man that would transform
The course of the planet
Living in the South under racism and evil
From day one he always had
A love for black people
Fresh out of slavery
Getting real truth was hard
In 1931 he was introduced to God
A man named Fard, came into the picture
Taught him and made him a scholar of math
Science and scripture
Plus the mind has shut down
What the enemy did
And debunked the lies of who they
Said the black man is elijah

God knew the right person
To deposit his message
When Elijah heard the truth he
Was compelled to accept it
Became a minister of Islam and
Drew life from it he was given the name
Kareem then later Muhammad
After 3 and a half years, Fard was gone
And Elijah was left to raise the Nation alone
But not really he wasn't alone, quiet as kept
Because Allah still covered him
And guided his steps
Then he raised up a Nation
Who was blessed to come
At a time when black people
Got oppressed and hung
He taught us to do forself
And start begging for rights
Begging to drink from the same
Water fountain as whites
Cleaned us up from drug using, lying
Stealing and cheating
Taught us how to eat to live
And how to love our women
And that America was gonna
Be destroyed and how
And everything he wrote back then
We seeing it now elijah

He's not like the scary
Leaders who consistently front
There's reason he's not mentioned
In black history month
Our consciousness went viral
Since his arrival
You can find him in the Book
Of Malachi in the Bible
Him and his disciples are all over the Book
You can find him in the Quran
If you know where to look
You say you love Muhammad Ali and Malcolm too
But Elijah Muhammad taught them
Both all they knew
Every words you heard them speak
Any wisdom they claim matter of fact
Who you think gave them both their names
His son Warith Deen
Farrakhan a greatness of them
The spread of Islam in the West
You can trace it to him
In time he made us strong
Built schools and farms
Taught us about the mothership
Baby planes with bombs
The messenger of Allah sitting at God's side
The exalted Christ and oh by the way
He's still alive
