[Intro: Marcus King] I seen the light, yeah [Chorus: Marcus King] D-d-d-die about me Oh gee, it can't be defined by me When I set it in motion Never question the motive Mhm, mhm [Verse 1: Common] Whether facing the East or facing the beast I'ma keep fighting 'til the world say, "Peace" Hollywood guilt put a nigga in grease I'm God-bodied but devil's in the deets But still I listen when Mohammad speaks And get a good work when PT preach My mama used to teach so it's lessons to learn Before I step and repеat, I step and I earn I met a girl's daddy, hе was kept in a urn The world as we knew it, it was destined to burn My success is a verb, it's a blessing to serve My presence is heard, I'm investing in words Like Nikki Giovanni or Amiri Baraka Jessica Care Moore, Morgan Parker Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison Poetry in motion, we moving forward today [Chorus: Marcus King] D-d-d-die about me Oh gee, it can't be defined by me When I set it in motion Never question the motive Mhm, mhm [Verse 2: Common] We walk-walk the line and talk-talk the rhyme It's from the sky, it's often a sign I stomped into time, not to fall in line What's bound in Heaven, on Earth, I'll buy I combine strength, poetic liberation In a nation that asks me for identification I'm a Haitian, I'm Jamaican I'm forsaken, I'm mistaken identity I'm Medgar Evers' memory I'm my father's good and bad tendencies I'm a man that love music but don't love the industry Don't like when fake folk grin at me I love Public Enemy I love the messages my love be sending me Chicago chase so I love being finicky Love calling him "Cuzzo", even if he ain't kin to me Love drinking wine while my homie drink Hennessy I love poetry when it becomes infinity [Chorus: Marcus King] D-d-d-die about me Oh gee, it can't be defined by me When I set it in motion Never question the motive Mhm, mhm [Instrumental Break: Isaiah Sharkey]
