I'm home

Uh, yeah

They always ask me, ' Ali, what you so angry for man? Why you always so upset? '
I tell 'em ' %#@!, theres a thin line between anger and hunger my man
And I ride a unicycle down the middle, you might catch me touchin feet down on both sides '


Ever since day number one, it's just me and where I'm coming from
Rites of Passage and Shadows on the Sun

My people, I stand before you, As a man with more true %#@!
Than what he knows to do with
I give it all to you, long as you can promise me this

When its time, you will ball up a fist (Like this)
Me and Anthony, we fill all the gaps
And are proud of what we make, regardless what happens

$#&@ rappin, I sing off key
One thing you should never do is dis Ali
Cause, mother$#&@er, there aint nothin rougher

Then tryin to climb from the ruggedness swept under
I can run through every one of your blunders
Mistake number one is that your crew don't love ya

Ill take a bullet for the ?Core? or the Sayers
When me and my dogs out tourin the nation
I spit with an intensity you have to witness

Look close, my blood on the back of the tickets
Its that religious, its what I teach my son
How to read the Qur'an and how a party is won


We like ' Doctor, don't get it mistaken
We call ?life out? when we sit in the ba!@&(t

We Self Taught, it's as real as you make it
Anyway you look at it this %#@! is amazing '
Doctor, don't get it mistaken

We call ?life out? when we sit in the ba!@&(t
We Self Taught, it's as real as you make it
Anyway you look at it this %#@! is amazing'


When line meets mine, we bend ya girls spine
Figure-eight status, she got back for days

The same old magic will not crack the maze
The lights changed since we anted up, pot has been raised
And Im $#&@ing with the hand I was delt

Life twenty-five years to experience what Lazurus felt
If you drop three crumbs, Ill eat one
Feed one to the family, rest I get invested in my freedom

I battle through ?a part? in this %#@!
With a wrist, full of broken tooth picks, tryin to ?call? by the ?nitch?
You can either choose the heart or the fist, but you will connect with me

If your path ever intersect with me
The fire in the eye could never be held back, (its the same)
Pressure that made the liberty bell crack, (its the same)

Pressure that made my brother E sell crack, (in the name)
Qu'ran, holy, Rest in Peace
My back is bein watched by, the only one on high

We stride in the party, hoods up, crossed eyes
Broke as what, but dont give a $#&@
Cause I feel I got the world by the nuts, Uhh!


Doctor, don't get it mistaken
We call ?life out? when we sit in the ba!@&(t

We Self Taught, it's as real as you make it
Anyway you look at it this %#@! is amazing
Doctor, don't get it mistaken

We call ?life out? when we sit in the ba!@&(t
We Self Taught, it's as real as you make it

Homeboy understand, I aint mad at you
Theres just very few things in life I know how to do

And this is one of them right here

And whatever comes up comes out

We dont put our hands on ourmouths, I stand for what I'm about
Unknown but I'm still a soldier
Can't let em go home till I win 'em over

My youth was training, its very clear
Every year, new city, new rules to play with (true %#@!)
New kid in school, didnt rule nothing
To this day I rap like Im trying to prove something
Little bit aggressive, when I spit a sentence

Till you get the message
You couldn't pay me to quit professin'
Rock sixty-one sold out shows, came home, and caught a bus to the
sixty-second
Shirt sweated full of work ethic

Been in love with the %#@! since I first met it
Rhymesayers is the first to come, last to leave
Ain't no tricks up our sleeve, this is what we believe

We like ' Doctor, don't get it mistaken

We call ?life out? when we sit in the ba!@&(t
We Self Taught, it's as real as you make it
Anyway you look at it this %#@! is amazing '
Doctor, don't get it mistaken
