(feat. Damian Marley)
|
Set to high
|
Now calling all revolutionary youth
|
Dam Marley alongside K'naan
|
Gunpowder philosopher what some boy feel like
|
|
I made the list this year
|
I'm honour roll, you ain't know East African rock 'n roll
|
You don't know what time it is like your clock is old
|
You know ya'll packin' like the block is sold
|
|
How could it be from the deepest darkest of zero
|
To become king of New York like De Niro
|
And he ain't even from New York that's what's weird yo
|
But where he's from they just ratatatatatata
|
|
So come now don't you try to play the hero
|
Around here we've got pirates with torpedoes
|
Alongside all the warlords and beardos
|
The only city nigga's blacker than tuxedos
|
|
Baby girl let me get all up in your earlobe
|
And if you shut me down you can kill my ego
|
Which is my enemy makes you my amigo
|
So either way you and I are button and needle
|
|
And they say I might become big as a Beatle
|
But I don't let it get to my head or feet yo
|
And I got more street cred than legal
|
But just in case we keep a big, this eagle
|
|
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared
|
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared, always
|
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared, yeah Zion youths
|
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared
|
|
What was I on before this flow or sequel
|
Somethin' about how I thought I was a Beatle
|
I'm trippin' but it was something lethal
|
It was fresh but possessed something Medieval
|
|
I came solo I ain't even bring my army
|
The type of niggas that are always ruining the party
|
You know those socially inadequate Somalis
|
Who walk in uninvited in your VIP
|
|
And Africans love them some B.I.G.
|
But Tupac is official H.N.I.C.
|
And my job is to write just what I see
|
So a visual stenographer is what I be
|
|
Superman, superstar give me super-fat dough
|
So I can be super-rich and super phat so
|
But maybe not super fat but super stacked though
|
So I can fix some money shit on super back low
|
|
How many immigrants are this here sedan
|
And is anyone carryin' any contraband
|
Not really but I'm late for my concert man
|
And here's a card for my lawyer Mr. Sam Goldman
|
|
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared [4X]
|
|
[?]
|
|
Cause the Marleys and Somalis are some mad people
|
We a travel with some long strap in a vehicle
|
And a screech across the border like a Latino
|
Moving through the LAX's and London Heathrow
|
Wait, man a gangsta we no star freak show
|
No gimmicks nor shenanigans a real street flow
|
|
Fi mi women ha fi hier than a Flamingo
|
Real bullet we a bust and a no Placebo
|
K'Naan have so much gun him open gun depot
|
And we take way boy gun just like we a gun repo
|
So tell some tosse MC there's no more free throw
|
Soon as we finish a clip another clip reload because
|
|
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared [6X]
|
