Body Of The Life Force

[afu-ra]
You wanna roll with the alphanumerical
Lyrical, serial syllable killa wit the realness
Feel this, mix tape shots, i peal this
Ayatollah, strike like casanova
Give me a beat, and my styles, i run it over
Corner ya brain, like a game of chess, nah
How a million mc's gon' be the best
You couldn't go against the squad, if your rhymes was hard
What made you think that you can challenge the stars?
Don't go against the grain, insane, ready to aim
No stoppin a, rockin a, hip hop philosopher
Mc's and dj's, your urban opera
I said it, intelligently, ain't nuthin next to me
Certainly, you couldn't even deal wit my weaponry
I interject like the internet, wet ya sets
Ya ain't even heard nuttin yet

"uprising surprising"
"knowledge wisdom understanding"

[afu-ra]
Smooth like johnny cochran, i keep it movin through brooklyn
Base against the hymn, brings the sweat to the skin
Reminisce of the days as a shorty
Had no stress, no bills, was comin for me
I lived it up, yeah, money ain't a thing
Never thought twice on what my future bring
Role models, naw i thought nothing of it
Eyes fixed on skies and planes fly high above it
Summer's comin, september's middle school
Mom dukes mad strict, she'll never raise a fool
I'm comin up, clean the dirty from the ghetto
So we can plant some seeds and watch them grow

[chorus]
Right, knowledge wisdom understanding rules, right
Everybody got to pay the dues, right
Knowledge, wisdom understanding rules
Everybody got to pay the dues

[afu-ra]
Tripped up by bad luck, 16 years and buck
I realized the world might end, not givin up
Stickin up, runnin up, comin up
Turn it up, i see signs of blowin up
Study life in every facet of my trainin
We need masters in biology, zoology
To overtake, illuminati trick-nology
Transform, reciprocate your mental state
Now make a date to overtake your objective
Show that through light, that everything is connected
But not in categories, that's the devil's story
Symbols of cannibalism, ruin your vision
The thoughts formulate in your mind with no precision
So reenact, a rebirth, now you're the phoenix
When shorties see it, now that's the time they believe it
Achieve it, your goals in life, don't be a casualty
Infinite and intricate, monument

"knowledge wisdom understanding"

[chorus]

[afu-ra]
Right, knowledge wisdom understanding, rules

"uprising, surprising"

[afu-ra]
I know the next millennium seems like it's cursed
That's why i have to rehearse
Tune my physical, mental spits the lyrical
It's so essential, transcends thoughts i'm into
As we continue, touch rhyme styles i'm into
All grown up, junior high to 25
A made man, tight connection with my brothers
Bridgin gaps, dodgin traps with my raps
Signs you're followin, shed more light
Then a halogen, take a step back, now who you followin?

[chorus 2x]

[hook 4x]

[afu-ra]
The key is self mastery, mentally and physically
Escapin dramas, plaguin the world, it's never easy, g
Society is straight up, set up to hurt you
Indirectly, with god logic, it's diabolic
Let me kick it most importantly trick-nology
Leave that similac alone, breast feed your seeds
The gift of motherhood, you pass on your antibodies
Defense against sickness, unwanted virus
Realize we came to this land by savage pirates
Never migrated, forced dehydrated
Instrumental tools, so knowledge dilapidated
Forced to bring it back, the most high heals the wounds
From the time you conceived, to the day you lay in tombs
Reeducate thy self from spoken fables
Descendants of the kings and queens who made it stable
Whose anatomy contains royal genealogy
You're no the minority, the unseen majority
Communicatin brother to brother before a dialect
Developed longevity, built the first community
Understood the science of healin through herbology
First open heart surgery was under king zoasa
Erectin pyramids livin off the nile river
There's so many unknown facts about self, i shiver
I stop a second, think to myself, it make me quiver
I must reach right inside of the self and just deliver
Rays of light of the sun, through the stratus
Peace as i release this apparatus

[chorus]
Mastery, mentally and physically
Mastery, mentally and physically
Mastery, mentally and physically
Mastery, mentally and physically
Escapin dramas plaguin the world is never easy g
Mastery, mentally and physically
Mastery, mentally and physically
Mastery, mentally and physically
Escapin dramas plaguin the world is never easy g

[intro: rasheedah]
Desfrutar de ti
Hmm, oh, yeah yeah yeah
Oh, oh

[afu-ra]
You know i'm comin though hotter, drip sweat meltin ya collar
Afu-ra takin care like i'm ya father
Some call me papa, through i'm rollin wit the rastas
Straight up and down, i'm like the sauce over the pasta
I'm well connected, to all my people's doin salsa
One of my trademarks, you'll catch me drinkin malta
You need some paprika to freak the
I let you know i came through just to reach ya
I do it one more time, bless this feature
Will take with nothin unlike, self i mover
I heat it right up, burnin like it's lava
Test you leavin wit hoes like godfather
Sounds soakin off honeys like it was lather
Study lessons and plant seeds to nurture
Praise due to this, show and prove with this
Knowledge yourself, life force'll make you move with this

[chorus: rasheedah]
No hay nada, que me sostenga
Yo estoy lista, para desfrutar de ti
Quiero tu calor, arridedor, de me ser
Oh, oh, oh, there's just nothin that can keep me from you, you, you
There's just nothin, when all i want...

[afu-ra]
Sound bombing number one right, hate blow it like it's dynamite
Destined too keep ya molecules shakin right
Flippin my script as if i was a gymnast
I'm fusin coast's together like i'm a chemist
A yo, you leavin the party yo i ain't finished
A dred shakin so hearty so what's your business
You callin my cell phone, sayin who is this
I throw to down to expand my interest
I take it higher, to master engraver
You know the chicas want that papi chulo flavor
I do it for the north south east west behavior
Wait a minute, hold up yo, yo there go my pager
Beeper beepin, ringin comin from my celli
If ya ever had days like this, then tell me
Praise due to this, show and prove with this
Knowledge yourself, life force'll make you move with this

[chorus]

[afu-ra]
You know i'm like a hop, skip and jump from slappin you senseless
Perverted monk on this mic, you feel the sentence
Hot vernacular scorch just like incense
I'm intense, shit vibin like a sixth sense
Lyrics mutilated like x-men
Shower ya, devour ya, technique algebra
Smoothness, movements, hallooed in the matrix
Fist held high, i raise it up to the ancients
Insightfully clear to you, how a master do
Roll with the high and mighty flow tai chi
Quench ya thirst, but first my journal high seas
Lyrical, mathematical, razzle and dazzle you
East new york, street talk, step with a better game
Hydrate rhymes like i was gatorade
Rockin a name, tappin your brain
With the sugar shane mosley doin it like it's supposed to be

[chorus 2x: afu-ra]
They think they all that, steppin on them like they were doormats
We bounce back and slap you with the raw tracks
Heatin it up steadily, so heavenly
Straight up and down, streets bouncin off the melody

[krumbsnatcha]
Avoid the devil's army, they want to harm me
Salute to the gulliani, crack babies, and zombies
Parkin lots, and drug spots, in the pots are coke rocks
A million in the building, buildings protected by more blocks
Young childs, ghost smiles, money clips colored vials
Stash fifty, in the world of bird city the warranters
Send the foreigners the coroners
A mess no vest multiplied wounds on chest
Invest in free markets, cream cheese and pockets
Three keys to a promise, stash keys in compartments
Desert eagle my targets, hit ya lease i spark ti
We get the drop on ya spot, make it hot and unlock it
Firearms make fireworks, i wonder where lies lurk
We bloodied up your shirt, all you saw was the fire spark
I'm one of too many, who get amped off henny
Puttin cowards in cemeteries, kill willies for pennies

[chorus 2x]

[hannibal stax]
Sex, butchery meat rack material, superior
Crank that shit amplify the whole scenario
Off the level live or in stereo
Young hustle to stay ahead of step
From where your best bet is to rep yours, repetitiously
Cuz this veteran will thrash to wreck yours, repetitiously
If ever you get at me on some bullshit, flash quick
Exactly who the fuck i got pull with
Autographed it for big number one with a bullet
Expressin black glove love hood it down, how i put it down
This style ain't never been shit to me, why would it now?
I come forth with gun smoke, no petty read ya bound by honor
That i merk you in the hunt for a dollar
Alive on the strength of power u
Divine karma, allah's armor see you keep fraudulatin
I'll sick my wolves in your basement, with loaded shell casings

[chorus 2x]

[intro: sample, afu-ra]
"ten, nine, eight, seven, six, ignition sequence start
Say it, assassin, assassin, one, take it again"
Soul assassins, afu-ra, yo, this how we do

[afu-ra]
You never heard of this, murderous, mic style superb with this
Burn with this, learn with this, you couldn't swerve with this
Or speed up on me in a high speed chase
Shift the clutch and what, bump chumps, i rip it up
I'm hangin corners, type ship like lamborghini
You couldn't see me, solar rays scorch houdini
You know my essence, hip hop and energy
Soul assassinate ya, never hate ya
It's deep thought, while you drink my henneccy
This deep sport, right where the winners be
I'm takin over, sounds glide like genocide
I'm never sober, write my rhymes, like a roller
It's so much colder, as you bounce into the lunar
Don't be confused a second to get your wreck in
Afu riggity ra hit intersections

[chorus 2x]
Don't make me wanna walk a winner
Walk it iller, stalk a sinner, walk beginners

[afu-ra]
You can't stop the shiverin, quiverin, while i'm deliverin
Unique stacks, put wack back, i came to bring
Microcosmic author, comin forth here, killa
Mess around, you get stuck like orca nigga
Frontin like you was the boss and illa
Britches got too big, don't make have to walk a sinner
Next day maybe they have to come and chalk a winner
One to tens is straight ate for dinner
I don't devour, straight restricted to my roughage
Bang like yamaha, hooker to 1200s
Stealth mode, cloak my dagger like a klingon
Soul assassination, bring it on, yeah

[chorus 4x]

[afu-ra]
You catch a mind bleed, eyes bleed, your ears bleed
Your nose bleed, battle wit me, rhymes bleed
My ship is stainless, orbits next your uranus
As long as you know, train freeze likes of pluto
My wordplay firm-lay, in zero gravi-tay
I be the dentist and you, you be the cavi-tay
Or neurosurgeon, brain work pathogen
Fro your consumption, first thing is oxygen
Throwin out 4 pages to be box ya in
Lock ya in, rock ya sin, you'll see directions in
Lifestyles, young urban perceptions
Don't seek exception, touchin all side of the waters
I dominate, accelerate, illuminate
Exuberate, and motivate, exasperate

[chorus 4x]

[intro: m.o.p.]
Hahahahahaha
Now it's about to be talked about

[afu-ra]
You're gettin slapped by my grammar
Vocals like a hammer, with roots from alabama
I'm under cover, make moves like no other
In dark alleys, you're gettin opened from your belly
I rock spots for blocks, i knock you inna skelly
I know you're jelly, because fame, billy & i be
Mashin out crews of bad dudes for nothin
Or cuz they frontin, they corny style, i show 'em somethin
A buck fifty ear to ear smash and fear
I'm scrubbin down, this hip hop shit's infested
Too many niggas sexin the mic, they not protected
Don't get infected, like a child that's been molested
The surgeon general rap shit just hit your section
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
Even in your dreams asleep you couldn't do me
It's picture perfect, blaze your mind like it's chronic
Cause m.o.p. and afu-ra, shits bionic

[chorus]
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
Even in your dreams asleep you couldn't do me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
Even in your dreams asleep you couldn't do me

[lil fame]
Brownsville slugger, put it on, come on, bring it on
It's a new way for this hip hop shit, sing a long
Who it is, nah bitch the question is, what it is
It's that back yard bangin shit, that i rocked for the kids
Clack clack, move son i got nothin to lose son
There's a million and one ways to die, choose one
Hit or miss, it won't matter to peel yo ass
I'm still left with a million ways to kill yo ass
Now afu-ra split em in half with the sword
You heard it from yours truly, chairman of the board
Fizzy womack, i blow back they whole strap committee
We live and direct from new york city
I'm a stretch a nigga, so you better get your weapon
Stop yappin with ya dick in your hand, and start steppin
Ghetto warfare, heavy metal warfare
This is war here, and we gettin it on all year, biatch

[chorus]
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
Even in your dreams asleep you couldn't do me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
Even in your dreams asleep you couldn't do me

[billy danze]
Let's take a trip down burner bark lane
Where the innocent get slain
And what you visualize will ruin your brain
A lot a blood sweat & tears, pain
Nobody stop a murder, as a dealer does it's muthafuckin thing
Bang bang, just like that, the man'll slit open you
And put two under your hat
And as you lay flat, just another nigga whacked
Before he stepped, he threw three through your chest through your back
And your outta here, lights out, game over
You said you wanted to live life as a soldier
I told ya, we on shaky grounds, a lot of ups and downs
We on force, to run a crash course, and blast off rhymes
And of course we have emotions inside, yeah
That's just some shit that we been trained to hide
You hear, be cautious, nigga walk slow
Talk low, this ain't no muthafuckin talk show, this is

[chorus]
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
Even in your dreams asleep you couldn't do me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
It's warfare, against any that come up on me
Even in your dreams asleep you couldn't do me

[outro]
Fire!!
