J Brig - Jasir

Yeah, I was raised on Nas, Quest, and M.O.P
Top of the line, this state of mind was new to me
From Illmatic Cinematics instilled in me
I thank you Father for giving me an identity
Once that pearl of wisdom hit my brain, I was 12 and felt the change
Hip-Hop was inside my veins like that Jesus Mary strain
The blood quickens, plot thickened on intermission
I see his vision he saw in me when my ears would listen
Huh
On memory lane, I was a kid with no name until I became
Tested enough in the flames of the gridiron games
My Poppa watchin', half committed was not an option
I did the poppin', suplex ya like I'm Dawkins
Hmmph
I'm battle tested, my ego confesses
I got this armor from the weight of Black men depression
But don't question, peep the blessings of transgressions
I can feel it in the air like Beanie Siegel sessions
I remember runnin' with the ember flame in my heart
Pop's concerned, said I need to learn when the streets are hot
Neck swivels, headbuds don't bloom when you sense the doom
Protect your neck, guillotine swords come through the internet
Heaven in the belly of the beast
War of nations teachin' occupation in the east
China taught me how to trust my pen with the pearl
The head nods rock to the Hip-Hop world!
I was raised on Nas, Quest, and M.O.P
Top of the line, this state of mind was new to me
From Illmatic Cinematics instilled in me
I thank you Father for givin' me an identity
Once I saw Alaska I was captured by the solitude
Heavy on reflections my connections are the follow through
Community was needed otherwise I stand defeated
So I just grabbed a mic with Black Thought and I conceived it
Uh
Heavenly thesis Ima argue for the soul of man
I cried my tears, forgotten years of the lonely man
I lost my father to the Father and the Son
I watch the sun, thinkin' bout the father I'll become
Truest one, who is Hip-Hop like KRS-One?
Teachin' the basic instructions fore leavin' earth
The word is worth everything you take from it
Faithfully I receive it
A listener and a viber, provider of all the secrets
