The 18th Letter (Always And Forever)

Lyrics

What? Uh, yo
 Just when things seemed the same, and the whole scene is lame
 I come and reign with the unexplained for the brains 'til things change
 They strain to slang sling, I'm trained to bring game
 History that I arranged been regained by King James
 Go to practice, with tactics, when the track hits, theatrics
 Women that look like actress the status of Cleopatra's
 Stacks of mathematics took the ego-a-geatics?
 As I find out, what the facts is, for geographic
 No time to sip Mo's with hostess, never mind what the total gross is
 I rip shows, stay focused, and split cheese, with soldiers
 While you hit trees and coast I spit flows that be ferocious
 And with these explosives, I split seas for Moses
 Shine permanently only my mind's concernin' me
 Fire burns in me eternally time's eternity
 Followers turn on me they'll be in a mental infirmary
 Determinely advance technology better than Germany
 Since the first days you know of, 'til the last days is over
 I was always the flow-er, I made waves for Noah
 From a compound, to the anatomy, to the breakdown of a atom
 Some of my rap patterns, still surround Saturn
 From the ancient Hieroglyphics, to graffiti painted pictures
 I study I know the scriptures but nowadays ain't it vicious
 Date back I go beyond check the holy Qu'ran
 To speeches at the altar on, now we get our party on
 So being beneficent, I bless 'em with dialogue
 They expectin', the next testament by the God
 I blow 'em through battlezones with chrome for chaperone
 Blast beats with saxophones one of the baddest rapper's known
 Every country city and borough, sidestreet and ghetto
 Isle and alley and meadow theories ferile enough to echo
 When it was one mass of land, with one nash' of man
 And the whole mass was ran under one master plan
 Since the world's metamorphis, and the plan is kept in orbit
 Turntables we spin off but the needles never skip off it
 Rhythms we expressin' similar to our ancestors
 It'll answer your questions if you understand the message
 From the days of the slave choppers? To the new age of prophets
 As heavy as hip-hop is I'm always ready to drop it
 From the mind which is one of Allah's best designs
 And mines will stand the test of time, when I rhyme
 The 18th Letter, the prophecy professor
 I stay clever, long as the planet stay together
 Bring up praise from Mecca, make a phrase for the better
 In new days to remember, always and forever
 The 18th Letter, the prophecy professor
 I stay clever, long as the planet stay together
 Bring up praise from Mecca, make a phrase for the better
 In new days to remember, always and forever
 The R baby
