KING SHABAZZ - The Epiphany Lyrics

They say they hate English and they suck at math
I can only make it if I ball or rap
But to ball and rap, requires all of that
Need math just to ball, like Apple needs apps

And rap is poetry that gives English a wrath
Use every word to rip those in my path
Like for instance, some say I'll never be great
So I speak positive and their words I negate

But don't be fooled, takes a lot to keep your mind right
Bad outnumbers good in a raw fight
Takes seven pros to counter one con
That's why there's so much power in one's tongue

So I use my words, like a spirit gun
Cause I know my powers unmatched son
Every verse I say, goes in your earlobes
Then flows through your blood till it hits your soul

Had this epiphany, it can't be so
Why those in charge would go this low
To play with our minds, the way we think
So I'll speak my mind and be your link

Had this epiphany, it can't be so
Why those in charge would go this low
To play with our minds, the way we think
So I'll speak my mind and be your link

Know the clean version go hard as explicit
There is no difference, yo boy just kills it
Yo boy go hard, a high vocabulary
Clog yo capillaries, yea that's kinda scary

Kids sit in school, swear it be boring
Teach 'em my lyrics, & grades be soaring
Seismic anomalies, lyrical expertise
Put 'em both together, they kinda define me

I'm a rap boss, mouth with a gauze
Cause I rap thunder, spit blood when I cough
Use the pen and paper to relay my thoughts
Then spit it over tracks so it can be taught

Set apart from the group, different and aloof
They said I was weird so I hit the booth
Like to study the game sort of like a sleuth
But when I make songs I give my truth

Had this epiphany, it can't be so
Why those in charge would go this low
To play with our minds, the way we think
So I'll speak my mind and be your link

Had this epiphany, it can't be so
Why those in charge would go this low
To play with our minds, the way we think
So I'll speak my mind and be your link
