family business Lyrics

Never trip, we on the rise

I judge wise as if I'm unsurprised

Lounge between the ivory pillars bumping Priest Killah

Dreaming of crazy rides like 500s

Ask God for guidance more than loving

We in real life, not Rob Rodriguez movie made macguffins, ain't no way out

I stepped in, time passed, and now I'm stage bound

Graveyard shift, stay loud, training like Greyhounds

Can't decline my shine, forever stay wild

They said this music nonsense was a phase I never came out

Turntables and stack extra reset and scratch records

Primo, L-Boog, and Mike Jack trapped in one vessel

Love and quest for knowledge, we pursue no set time schedule

Pick inside my fro, composing backbeats for all rebels

Do you want more? We serve it nine ways and we all revel

My Black Thoughts are considered revolutionary

No perdition here, boy, I serve the Ultimate Dignitary

Every day I pray Yah protect me from the incendiary

Nature of the kingdoms, of the Lord of the Flies

Never bow to Baal to play at all, I'd rather die

Word of Yahweh is my truth, let all of y'all stand as a lie

As I'm standing on all my toes, I ain't lookin' to compromise

That's on the tribe

We could rap or we could wrap you up in cellophane

I'm on timing all post-graduation, playin bare a game

Mom knew who I was, she gave me Hebrew and Nigerian names

How you gon' compete when it's me that's playin' the winning game

Just walking the streets, death can take you away

It's never guaranteed that you'll see the next day

At night, the evil armies of Shatan don't play

So defend the family, that's the code to obey

Yo, if I fall asleep and death takes me away

Don't be surprised, son, I wasn't put here to stay

At night, the evil armies of Shattan don't play

So the family sticks together and we never betray

Word is bond
