I Told Them (feat. GZA)

One, two, three, whoa

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo

I told them

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo

I told them

Yo, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo

Hmm-mmm

Yo, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo

Whoa

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo

I told them I'm a genius, I had to show them what the meaning is

Hundred-thousand hands, where the ceiling is?

I told them I'm the highest, with the drip, I'm the flyest

Hundred-thousand hands, where the sky is?

Told 'em I'm amazing, they told me I was crazy

Nothin' ever changed

I told 'em I'm a giant, real African giant

Self-confident, self-reliant

Told 'em I'm the master, they told me I wouldn't prosper

I tell them, say them be bastard

Tell them dem they joke o

So make I stop smoking yioo, abi dem wan jonze o

Me, I dey feel pain, but I move forward and I switch lanes

Because Odogwu no be nickname

They say, "Who be this person?", I told them I'm Big 7

Put am for your body in a split second

Put me on your song, it's a hit record

If I put you on, you a rich ****

Yes, I told them, I told them I'm a born winner

I stay humble, because I'm a born sinner

I told them that I was the realest

For some reason they didn't believe it, so here we are

Ooh-ah-ah

I told them from the start

Ooh-ah-ah

Right from the very start

Ooh-ah-ah

I told them, I told them, ah-ah

I told them they were gonna see this

For some reason they didn't believe it, so here we are

Ooh-ah-ah

I told them from the start

Ooh-ah-ah

Right from the very start

Ooh-ah-ah

I told them, I told them, ah-ah

I told them they were gonna see this

For some reason they didn't believe it, so here we are

Which one of you is the abbot?

I wanna join the temple

We shine like that travels and waves that are unbelievable

Distance and days

Radio, micro, infrared and ultraviolet

Picture so beautiful, I had to film the pilot

Coined a new grand of philosophy

That form images in your mind, quite different from photography

Anointed few, a point of view of the thinkers

No pitch, that's a glitch full of hook lines, and sinkers

The way the wise look at light, the manner of the thoughtful

There is no benefit if it's not resourceful

Fortified, the observers, they get something from it

It become routine, been there and done it

I'm in a place where perception is developed

If you can't walk on these shoes, then your feet would swell up

A medium by which thoughts are made clear

Beneath the surface, but only hurt in the inner ear
