Where I go? Not many left can take it
On everything I hold sacred, each step
Help me hover it, uncover the cover-up
Had to double up the triple to make it bubble
In a struggle, I juggle
Under pressure, you see 'em start to buckle
When you take away the fame and the trappings
No captions, they do just stay trapped in
On my back, kept my borough, kept buildin'
Thoughts still spray at will, so I spill
Every atom I add on the streets give me the ammo
My M.O. was that of a general
In general, keep it identical to original
I get mine from the ground, I mean the minerals
Fiends on lean from the residue in a lobby
We come through with the detox to rescue you
But you'd rather see us relapse or OD
An OG told me, "Don't hold back, too much is at stake"
Time to separate the shake from the weight
Shine like King David (shine)
Shine like King David (shine, shine like King David)
Shine like King David (shine)
Shine like King David (shine, shine like King David)
I'm Nikola Tes' meets Clarence 13X
The judge want a name, I tell 'em, "Hiram Abiff"
I flashed a few signs at him, but I ain't no Crip
El-Hajj Malik El, Malcolm X
If I don't like the reaction, I'm Jonathan Jackson with heaters
No freedom? Y'all get none either, strip
Four-five and not three-fifths
I'm Black Elk speakin' out indigenous lips
Over golden beats, a young poet Hafiz
If time never was, I'm Noble Drew Ali
One God, only one destiny is for me
One aim, Marcus Mosiah Garvey
Muhammad Ali at war with the army
But the weapon is the wooden guitar, Bob Marley
Prince Malik in the car with Gaddafi
I'm Tubman, Turner, Mandela, King Selassie
All these little Aleister Crowleys gettin' salty
To a terror Rasputin, they back up off me
Saw me as Salahuddin, and couldn't stop me
I'm Jimi Hendrix mixed with Gandhi
Shine like King David (shine)
Shine like King David (shine, shine like King David)
Shine like King David (shine)
Shine like King David (shine, shine like King David)
Shine like King David
Shine like King David (shine)
Shine like King David (shine)
Shine like King David (shine)
