Brother Ali

Brother Ali - Left In The Deck lyrics

rate me

Ladies and gentlemen on the piano tonight

To my left your right is Jake One

And I am big bad body rocking

Failure is not an option

I’ve been grinding 9 to 5 like Dolly Parton

Art for talking make them lean like oxycotin

Not for nothing but the dream sequence kind of vibrant

No I'm not a prophet nor am I proselytizing

My assignment to take my little light and shine it

They can not define it so they wanna to water it down

Gotta colonize ground and come out afire

Put you on a diet of this honest pious modest

Live wire writer piping loud enough start a riot

Heart of a lion both eyes open wide

Soul in overdrive you duly notified

Bonafide North Side, alma mater

Yeah my momma might had got us out of there

Still though my heat is near

Home base Mosque is there

Took my Shahada there

When I'm out of here

I swear to God I drop a tear

Nothing is new under the sun

And so I'm doing what’s been done

By those who trooped though

And proved it can be won

Truth is that these musicians grew me as their son

So you're a philosopher

My Uzi weighs a ton

The fluid native tongue

The true creative hum drum

Blessed it in that melting pot

The two became as one

Recognize an old soul

With new school influences

Soothing music oozes through him like he blew a kiss

Gin really do exist I submit the proof is this

Truth is the broken heart is harder than the human fist

I'm too committed for that superficial foolishness

Gotta wear the shoe that fits even if its a crucifix

Wallace you are truly missed

Pardon all your human sins

My dourer is you live in the garden and it’s purely bliss

We still bear the fruit of his

Houda that was beauty kissed

Before Gabriel pick that horn and play that tune of his

You won't let the humans live

Let the humans love

Let us never dictate

Who’s below and who is above

Let he who lives without sin cast the first stone

Most high hung up the phone hear the dial tone

Ran up in the liquor store waving the pistol round

Everybody hit the floor everybody hit the ground

Both of them in the zone all about the business now

If they can stick to code they can hit it and get out

Oh so professional cleaner than a basset hound

Dog when his dick is broke

Run it like a give a go

Did it before, just to get him some dough

Stash box getting too low they inching for more

Outside here kicking doors

Twenty inches of snow, fifty bellow

Pistol grip is frigid and cold

Forever they been going through this Rigor more

Getting locked up grandma bring them some dough

Put a house up so they can come oh they oh so grown

Two twin brothers raised by grandmother

One was always running and gunning and cause trouble

The other one suffer cause they look like one another

He wasn't doing nothing

But the fuzz still bust him

He must have grew accustomed

To the boys trying to rush him

One day he had enough and said fuck it

Uh so baby now it's on little brother ride along

One was the brain other the brawn and they twice as strong

They thinking if it's right or it's wrong

One heist the alarm of the ones with the arms

You make a move and act shiesty your gone

He ever pulled a trigger in life, but be warned

He cold as stone and bad to the bone let’s get it on

Uh they started off buying shit trying to have the flyest fits

Rocking all the brightest kicks knocking all the hottest chicks

Driving a shiny whip buy all the drinks

That was the old brothers thing

The younger brother digs the excitement side of it

Trying to out smart a Vic

It was the leader till their grandmother got sick

She needed surgery it hurts to see her

If they don't act first something worse could occur

Might lose a leg, suffer a seizure

Emergency might cover her up with dirt

Can't suffer to hurt put something in her purse

And so they urgently burst into work

We gonna bleed this city, like a thirst our gift is your curse

Back to the hearing now, we don't have a lot of time

Cash drawer clear it out hand over the dollar signs

And feel free to sound the alarm all you want

We already downed the phone and the power lines

And I really doubt you wanna to step out of line

This Gluck nine of mine will make your mind hard to find

Ignorant only sound I want to be hearing

Is the lock on the safe go clickity-cllick

This is a bad feeling isn't it

Yea listen bitch here’s a bag, get to filling it

Lady moved kind of slow like she forgot the code

Younger brother watch the clock

Yo, it's time to go

He ain't leaving out this door with the pot of gold

Lock and load

The old owners down stairs doing invoices

Seen the power go out and he could hear noises

Knew what was taking place

And had a little something of his own waiting

For this situation

He came out bombing this to show them what time it is

The guns are kind of big but one ain't ever fired his

Aim ain't confident plus he got the power kick

Hitting all kind of shit except what the target is

But old papa did just the opposite

Shots just ricocheting listen mister, is it playing?

Kids made it out the spot

But he followed them, non still firing siren's hollering

Police arriving the younger twin dropped just then

The owner hit him in the collar and bodied him

Kemosabe isn't stopping

Continue throwing shots at the cops till the officers slaughter him

Damn, now who’s supposed to tell grandmamma now?

Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!

Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!

Living in a time where life is hate

But you don’t think your sense have been insightful

You just need to quietly admire my desire

Get inspired by a higher form of life or just retire

Is only fire the ingredients inside of you

Would you tie the wrong Mike Tyson to iron?

Meaning you say you would when I only say to iron him?

I knew the verses only do reverses no trying

Sidebar pioneer the scientific dying

Most about environment you save the life with the right click

You can stab me then now he’s been excited to ...

Words colliding you better bring a CD

Hustle and I’m building and I think it’s still quickly

The only beat whimsy you can dress it up quickly

Found adjacent I could break you with my pinky

Then I bought a blow can hear your body slow

But I can look inside your eyes and I can know you have no soul

Lying to yourself from the moment you press go

You ballin on you’re only know for what you own

Chain is gorgeous but you didn’t make it

Balls are flawless but you’re the creator

Closing up but you were born naked

The whole time, my legacy the only thing we take with

Listen are we living through this digital age

Even though you ain’t locked up in no physical case

Still don’t need to see your way all through that instant maze

Put your keep inside a cage

Picture bought a scripture and I flip through every page

Look for some proof to be not the inner vase

Every since sacred declaration been displayed

Everything that I’ve been happening, now the dead have been raised

Used to have a passion to my patronized passion

Intoxicated thought are breaking pages you could have...

You won’t get the...to earn it up like an atom

The first man on the planet that could catch you with an atom

You are living anywhere, living any day

Like it’s a sin there so they couldn’t even tell

In a time when it’s easy top prevail

I skip them and it’s easy to scale

Keep on lifting up the veil

My soul isn’t for sale

I sale I crack like the liberty bell

And the days and months to come

I say it once so listen up well

Trying to sell natural habit for a digital hell

No, no, no, no

No I never stop

No I never stop

No I never stop

Just keep coming for more

No I never stop

No I never stop

No I never stop

Just keep coming for more

Can’t stop the rock I go ceasing the deuce

From quick for pause I pause but never peace

Neighborhood respect I’m awesome in the streets

Beast on the beats when y’all repeating this shit

No tarts for Christmas I just wanna quit

Y’all were in the mix I was at the click mix

You at the dance, dancing, I’m at the dance spitting

Now I’m gone trafficking and y’all are gone chilling

I was in the beats, in the books and in the zone

You were in the mirror just trying on cologne

Same corner clicks since 16 years old

Still doing high school shit you just know

Got a couple babies I’m basically educating

Take them on plane to train them for the images

You were rolling stone, escaping and not craving

Bitch you ain’t grown you’re too lazy to pave them

Dropped every fan from basement to stadiums

All of them slam the small joint’s my favorite

Even when I’m old and they say I’ve failed all

Shit might slow but never shall it stop

No, no, no, no

No I never stop

No I never stop

No I never stop

Just keep coming for more

No I never stop

No I never stop

No I never stop

Just keep coming for more

Shot in the bottom when he told me never doubt

Music get the pounding on that truth to fall about

No doubt about it he better have every out

Heavy metal rapping we flow steadily ground

Don’t matter how many clouds are right around

Love to be surrounded like the sun when it’s out

Let them live a minute then fuck’em you start to shine

Let them just tumble to the sound and keep clowning

Never did I desire to make it rain dollars

Make some poor fathers make his daughter excited

Plenty find dimes inspired by dead bodies

Responded high power rhymes I recited

Never believe I needed smoke to catch fire

But drink fire order just to get electrified

The breath of God that’s worth in making me high

It’s vibrating and making living into the sky

No, no, no, no

No I never stop

No I never stop

No I never stop

Just keep coming for more

No I never stop

No I never stop

No I never stop

Just keep coming for more

How the hell I stopped? Well I don’t remember stopping

Parked down my mama singing get deep tarred

Pain was the popping, pheromones my older brother

You was my cool ass uncle from California

When I got to school I was jump, jumping on it

Payer that’s one, Chuck D gave the signs

If I said I lost it they would send me to the office

Had to see the principle dive the boom box

All that hip hopping I graduated with honest

Fear two warm ups slap that was my college

Master ceremony chalk because I rocked it

Finally got my doctor when I started head blinding

Long as the human beat box will keep knocking

Yes that’s my heart, nope, I never stopped

They put me in the ground and everybody starts solid

Somebody drop out with shadows on the sun pounding

No, no, no, no

No I never stop

No I never stop

No I never stop

Just keep coming for more

No I never stop

No I never stop

No I never stop

Just keep coming for more

Alright, 6 AM, let’s see the shop!

Uh, not a, not, a, not a damn day goes by

Nobody’s hands waving high at the great sky

Bitch had my main fly A like my main high

They put me on they back and carry me when I can’t fly

They put me in the skin tattooed with a pin

Stick me in the pin when a rebel with a pen

I had the window open to my soul, let’s knock’em in

They love me like a trusted friend till I come again

How many shitty put your fam through faux fame

Diamond ballin chain spitting aerosol flame

Dough! Such a paradox change

I rap cause change but can I say that I’m all saint?

They told me that the top’s kinda lonely so

While climbing for it thought you might wanna hold me

Turns out I got a glory with a saddle

Lonely got the guarders for me babe

Where the motherfucking beat? Come back again

No hate but I already did

Just trying to think where the lesser is

The message’s clear we’ll never get more or less than sweat and tears

Destiny, the chance you see is the best you get

And the best deception is that success is infinite

Let me get more emphasis

Get up on your ass go though some working

Know the war when I’m moving first

And you’re not trying to prove your word I thought

Quit sucking life out the universe

You fuckers want something for free

It’s never gonna be not for me

I see that it’s my property and it’s all on me, not believe

Honestly I believe in charity and modesty

But everything I have can see that the ...belongs to me

I don’t need to rap like that I’m sorry you hear me snap like that

Let me just take a deep breath and get myself right back on track

I love you guys I just want y’all to see the truth about

If you don’t love yourself ain’t nothing I can do about it

This came polluted human garbage oozing addict

Bunch a dudes in a stupid outfit

Trying to catch a move, stop it!

Old school dudes who ain’t popping

Hate to see your bitch you get chronic

Aiming for but you ain’t inspired

But then there’s so much amusingness that I can’t resist it

It’s not the aim about it making it but they ain’t listening

A6 I grabbed the bussing

Started painting pictures, grab the mic and said

Ok hit!

Drowning in a darken room, drowning in to find a book

Time was up was out of luck I was kinda stuck

Eyes wide swollen shot it’s when you’re lucky enough

Sucker punch slip up and catch an upper cut

Rack heads drunkies and junks

I go first dynamite finally round them up

Till the sun come up kids don’t wanna jump

Pop scotch double clutch

Windows of they...down frowning, here comes the bus

My head is always up, I was told it’s up

Cry forever and the day it won’t be long enough

I’ll be getting my time and up, refine sign it up

Gotta find a diamond in the rough mind I can stop

I rock solid rock copping bus

To step I’d betted get it right for the pipes to sell the bus

Sun keep shining and the earth keep turning in

The beats keep hanging it in so ok

He was a 17 year old nobody had the guts

Tell me you ain’t even grown

She didn’t love me she just didn’t wanna be alone

But I ain’t love her I just loved feeling needed so

Guess when either turned up she was singing though

I’m talking it must’ve been the head like I ain’t seen before

Argue every single day she was screaming from

Things had gotten clear when I said I’m leaving her

We had a key and we weren’t even three months old

You would leave them alone only God know how

Long she’d been gone didn’t know where she would go

Come in with daddy now, happy now

Here she’d go blew her top mama baby go rock

She shot me in the eye and the ...

But the sun keeps shining and the birds keep chirping

And bees keep banging their way so ok

Yo Ali, how was I rocking?

How come I say peace every time we talk man?

It’s time to get’em, it’s time, time to get’em

I got to killing my eyes got to kissing

I rock the rhythm with sounds like decision

My arm got to swinging highlight the vision

My mind got hearing the gods for choir singing

I could not fight the feeling I find the mind thrilling

Crowds got shifting and the bars got to...

Specially when they figure pop locked all the windows

It’s really not a sin to admire what God gave’em

Know my wife’s listening, come on I’m only kidding

I found a lot in the way grinding on the living

My fam, for not a minute I forgot about my children

And their time is grumbling and I got the feeling

I’m all about the business, I could modify the spitting

It’s kinda hard to fit in my side of system

But I do give a shit, my shows are hell of intimate

If you guys are a band then where the hell are your instruments?

Interesting halla at the beta D

Put them all to see and season them up for me

He asking my staff what’s happening with your captain

He look like J Parkman and talk like Mars Blackman

Lobby at the W hotel was cracking

Took off my jacket and called it a back spit

Heard! Yo! Yo Ali, was that you?

Yo Ali, come watch a movie with you

Peace!

Let it be known I love all of my fans

Lot of them are making water and they washing your hands

Got a big box of models sign them all in advance

So get off of me sliding your ass so don’t bother me

Uh, I dress sharp like I never did

Big white beard looking something like Santa babe

At a Kentucky Fried Chicken man

Pushed me like a pimp said he had a biscuit in his hand

So strange that I’m busting it

Don’t know what strain of shit it is but I’m full of it

I’ll be that dude and my 80s still trying to spit

You’ll be saying, yo yo I almost made it but you’re full of shit

Too bad I’m in the rain with some other mans

Ride on the train, tuxedo and some other kids

Hide pain I have nothing to the government

Until somebody run Marc Keith for president

I’m Brother Ali and I do Brother Ali things

And I provide for my family you know what I mean?

Phantom of the Opera, champion offer

Reincarnated black pimp spitting lava

Passionate power in the state of Jack McGovern

Handsome in the profits of the last days and hours

Casualty of war no one’s guaranteed tomorrow

Ain’t got the sky to trump blood on tomorrow

Chose to blow the whole blow is an altar

Up right honorable obelisk posture

Been back spots full of vultures

Bought a shit all rock with your vulture

Cultivated thoughts in and in for last...

Highly regarded, wildly accomplished

Been bowed down before on six continents

Travel at the speed of sound and get nauseous

Just to catch shadows in the darkness

Unclick never refine so genuine

Up the echelon like the sun arrived at the time

Credit the divine testify the blessing every time

Stripper down the message every record that he tried to sign

Push this spin in line till the end of the time

Camera lenses never could define my impeccable shine

Lie, evidence of the intelligent design

With an evolutionary mind and call yourself divine

Gentlemen at doubt with a legendary grind

Work ethic gets inspired by the pyramid’s design

But rapidly decline to the level of the time

This expression so you catch a Duke...

Highly regarded, wildly accomplished

Been bowed down before on six continents

Travel at the speed of sound and get nauseous

Just to catch shadows in the darkness

The name of the Lord’s sustainer evolve or raise her

Whole system’s knowledge creator

Brace the awesome all seen author of nature

Artistic shaper of all small and age

The greater maker of light, give her and take her

Guard displayer of the guard and I was placed in

My rival was described to the angels

Half the time of nature was glocked in my nature

Born blind in a world full of hatred

Shaped by the blank reservation I came in

Outside the matrix was my presentation

Faithfully reigning on my things class ranking

Ball cast a lie from the obelisk invasion

Lost in the haze of the forced occupation

Cradle by the love of the bust people pay in

I busted out the love’s never been the same

Highly regarded, wildly accomplished

Been bowed down before on six continents

Travel at the speed of sound and get nauseous

Just to catch shadows in the darkness

Fact! It is 8:45 AM and I’m not doing this shit

I’m gonna tell you something right there motherfucker

Check it out!

Everywhere I go trying to do my rapper thing

Got money to cool dudes that wanna do the same

Well listen closely, Imma give you some game

How to get your thing together right and get you a name

The first rule is you gotta be you to the utmost

Bring a listener to your world and pull’em up close

Let her see how it feels to be in your shoes

Take the journey that you’re on see what you through

What it is about you that makes you different?

And what about your story makes interesting

Can you really make me feeling without listening?

If not then ain’t nobody try and give a shit

There’s a lot better ways at making money so

If that’s why you’re here quit now, take it from me

First decade it’s always gonna be hard

So work in itself it’s gotta be the reward

If you saw a man that could do it for ya, you probably should

Shit is now how they make it seem on Hollywood

But if you can’t sleep at night cause your ass got it right

Just to feel right then it will all be cool

Please listen to my demo

I gotta kick a little shit to let my friends know

Never let go live out your dreams

Just know that nothing in life is what it seems

Please, please listen to my demo

I gotta kick a little shit to let my friends know

Never let go live out your dreams

Just know that it’s not

They call it show business, should’ve called it business show

First nigger how the saying go

So never mind that shit, just let it grow

Revolution comments and go for what you know

The most supporting relationship you had

When you with your grads don’t ever forget that

Business only matters when your ass is on demand

Success depends on your connection with your fans

And if you plan on taking money form your friends

You better give them as much in return as you can

Give them albums they can listen to for years

Give them great live shows

Give them blood, sweat and tears

I’m not saying these folks won’t try to play you

But you stay true, you don’t need them to embrace you

Embrace yourself but then brace yourself

You gonna be staring in the face of hate yourself

Can’t get distracted with that kind of shit

Fans deicide who the real hit liner is

You can’t get something without being the best

You have to ask yourself if that’s really worth having man

Please listen to my demo

I gotta kick a little shit to let my friends know

Never let go live out your dreams

Just know that nothing in life is what it seems

Please, please listen to my demo

I gotta kick a little shit to let my friends know

Never let go live out your dreams

Just know that it’s not

It took like 15 years for me to get what I want

But that time would have passed without trying or not

So what’s a fellow gotta do?

Your life’s gonna be what you dedicate it to

So every time we celebrate something new

It opens new doors that we get the pressure through

I guess I knew with every level I grew

Expect more from me than I ever expect from you

My work is reflection of you

So put your whole ass in everything that you do

This is your life got to live it your way

And then you gotta let them shift forward and make my bad

Please listen to my demo

I gotta kick a little shit to let my friends know

Never let go live out your dreams

Just know that nothing in life is what it seems

Please, please listen to my demo

I gotta kick a little shit to let my friends know

Never let go live out your dreams

Just know that it’s not

Another day, another hour

Said the devil got his arms around you

In a spot where the love ain’t found you

So weak but it’s all very powerful

I’d pull you know but I don’t know how to

Said the devil got his arms around you

My, my, my daddy on that medicine

I guess the demons are dancing in his head again

Many women try to breeze though and rescue him

What they all seem to see

Trying to get a thing screaming between you and your agony

Strangling your anger till it settles in apathy

Have you seen seeing that nobody should have to see

Shadowing screams of your own humanity

I feel the mimic calling on of the human soul

That somehow could never know that it won alone

If you took a ...jean then it always cup’em in

Beats sticking till it drown in the undertow

Till the day he saw the stripper of that rugged no

And everything I ever touched it went up in smoke

Apologize this woman didn’t know a heart doesn’t love

Any less pure just because it’s broke

Said the devil got his arms around you

In a spot where the love ain’t found you

So weak but it’s all very powerful

I’d pull you know but I don’t know how to

Said the devil got his arms around you

In a spot where the love ain’t found you

So weak but it’s all very powerful

I’d pull you know but I don’t know how to

You’d better tell’em you love’em and make’em believe you

Get between your people and they need before they leave you

Tell’em something when you look’em in the eye

Before you can’t say nothing but goodbye

Said the devil got his arms around you
