Brother Ali - Pen To Paper by rhymesayers published on 2017-03-06T23:45:11Z Pre-order now: https://rse.lnk.to/AllTheBeauty Lyrics: put pen to paper the first time when I was barely 8 or maybe nine that was the late 80’s Regan time put in the freshest tape rewind wait, let me take my time the entire landscape of the blank page was mine created space to climb inside escape the crazy times reshaped the climate break it down that was my frame of mind I thank The Divine Great designing this as my sacred shrine I made myself a place to shine, wait, let me spray this rhyme when I was 13 I met KRS he put me on the stage suggested i read up on Malcolm x y’all know the rest so much pushing down on my chest both my folks got laid to rest loved ones wishing me all the best I’m a ball of stress yet I digress I spit my every hopeless dream and my unspoken secrets you hear it floating through the speakers on my old releases my fan base began to grow beneath and crowd around me I never tip toed round here shy I spit it loud and proudly The U.S. government profiled me and the sponsors dropped me some of my listeners felt a way so they no longer got me I knew that telling that truth is costly no one alive can stop me I rolled that flag out on the ground and prostrated my body this is more than music to me this is ancestors speaking through me at the tomb of Rumi my mic’s a rifle I’m honor bound to fire my weapon truly weather they cheer me jeer boo me full salute or shoot me let it be known my whole life I break that cycle set it in stone I’d still rather be known as a man that stand on my own rather than beg at a throne cold you know i honor my own code that go down to the bone we just want to get it on shooting at the devil with a megaphone till we dead and gone Genre Hip-hop & Rap Comment by Noice 🔥🔥🔥🔥 2019-10-11T23:17:06Z Comment by Arsini hype as fuck!
