Abu Enzo - Brother Ali

Ay, don’t let the hat and shoes fool you, sir

I grew up with this anarchy let me school you, sir

Baboons are sure to move on you if you unsure

Truth is elusive you could loosen up to Lucifer

You don’t survive where I’ve been half-blind and my grin

Different environments without knowing the signs of violence

All that nonsense is not where I’ve been tryin' to go

But your boys just gotta know not to think that I the ho

If my eyes are closed and I start nodding slow

I ain’t blow no kind of dro

I’m trying to get my drumsticks to rock and roll

Leafing through the cosmos read it like it’s Cosmo

Everything I see I know is deposited inside my soul

It pushed me to the threshold

I know just what the spirit does when the flesh folds

Break the scale I’m only playing the best notes

From distress to effervesce mode

(MPC by Abu Enzo)

Uh huh, yeah

Twinkle in the ivories

You know what a twinkle in my eye could mean

And what defines my dreams

The second they describe the scene, I bought it sight unseen

And provide the means for driving with the highest beams

Uh, I revealed it in the silent stillness

Uh, I dry my shield and then they fought me fearless

Uh, I read about it til I finally feel it

Uh, inside the secrets of my life experience

Uh, them ones I thought were masters go and show they ass aroma

If I don’t back up off you then I’m after smashing on ya

Don’t be sad because the magic’s over

I’m still on the path and better than I had been if I hadn’t known ya

As a teacher, you mastered it all

Taught us how to climb, and showed us how to fall

If you should drop a line and I don’t grab the call

I’ll catch you on the other side when you’re standing tall

Yes y’all

It pushed me to the threshold

I know just what the spirit does when the flesh folds

So alive, close the eyes and let the breath flow

Give and forgive, or get and get forgetful

Push me to the threshold

I know just what the spirit does when the flesh folds

Human being is created in the best mold
