verse of the decade bob marley would be proud

Some of the smartest dummies
Can't read the language of Egyptian mummies
An' a fly go a moon
And can't find food for the starving tummies
Pay no mind to the youths
Cause it's not like the future depends on it
But save the animals in the zoo
Cause the chimpanzee dem a make big money
This is how the media pillages
On the TV the picture is
Savages in villages
And the scientist still can't explain the pyramids, huh
Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids
Stereotyping the image of the images
And this is what the image is
You buy a khaki pants
And all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones
An' a thief out gold and thief out the scrolls and even the buried bones
Some of the worst paparazzis I've ever seen and I ever known
Put the worst on display so the world can see
And that's all they will ever show
So the ones in the west
Will never move east
And feel like they could be at home
Dem get tricked by the beast
But a where dem ago flee when the monster is fully grown?
Solomonic linage whe dem still can't defeat and them coulda never clone
My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever Own Lord

Incredible display of street-poetry-lyricism...I cant wait for the Lost Tapes

Shout out to brother H rap always dropping some jewels on here. Still on my quest to find out more about ancient Africa something that every person (not just black) should do. I'm really thinking about home schooling my kids cuz most of the stuff we learn there is poison.

Nas has pretty much converted to an underground MC...not a bad move considering flagging mainstream interest, now at least the people paying attention to him are more likely to be real fans. I think Nas knows this, why else would he abandon the pop material and rail against Def Jam for trying to force pop music on him? He knows he doesn't need a fucking radio hit at this point to keep his fanbase, just good albums.

Ayo its poison, ecstasy, coke
You say its love, it is poison
Schools where I learned they should be burned, it is poison
Physicians prescripting us medicine which is poison
Doctors injecting our infants with the poison
Religion misoverstood is poison

dope ass post.

Im surprised this thread is still goin strong. This was by far the best album of the year. I dont know if that says something about this album or just the state of music right now. props to Nas for not selling out and makin music that is worth a shit, fuck all that Nas lost shit.

White girls tanning, lypo suction

Fake titties are implanted, fake lips thats life destruction

Lightskin women, bi-racial hateful toward themselves

Denying even they blood

I don't judge Tiger Woods but I overstand the mental poison

Thats even worser than drugs


Radio and TV poison, white Jesus poison

And any thoughts of taking me down is poison

Who want beef now, my heat shell anoint them, plaow

Cosign family, especially the bolded...Distant Relatives imo is on par with Legalize it, Exodus, Catch a fire

DR Still the No. 2 in the Reggae Charts. Smh @ the hiphop community not appreciatin spiritual music

Can you blame my generation, subjected gentrification,

Depicting their frustrations over ill instrumentation

Cause music is the way to convey to you what i'm facing,

Placing my life in front of your eyes for your observation

Now if you can't relate then maybe you are too complacent,

Athletes today are scared to make Muhammad Ali statements

Whats up with your motto?

Will you lead? Will you follow?

Improve your values

Education is real power

I reach em like Bono

So get rid of your self sorrow

Add some bravado

Get wealthy likes Wells Fargo

Its truth, that I am you

And I am proof

Surviving through

We do what we gotta do

Yo we could break the cycle let nobody lie to you

Then maybe put our sons and our daughters in private school

Cause there's a mission we gotta finish before we leave

This generation is destined to do historic deeds.
