Just Begun (feat. Jay Electronica, J. Cole & Mos Def)

(We've only just begun)

Oh yes, indeed, I like this

Hey yo, Hi-Tekk, do me a favor

Man, speed it up a little bit

From the intro, you know I'm so influential

'Cause I'm glowing like a candle

The focus is so essential, dawg, what you trying to get into?

I steady the flow, ready to blow like snotty tissue

They snitching like Donnie Brasco, I'm counting like Monte Cristo

The ghetto full of betrayal like Iago and Othello

Your fellow neighbor will slay you, they'll smoke you like cigarillos

Police want that info, they'll grill 'em like portobellos

I'm murdering instrumentals 'cause I rap with the conscience

Of felons, killers, and monsters, so revealing and honest

We're still fulfilling the promise, some nights I kill 'em with kindness

Hitting like Mohamed Ali, you more like Tatyana

All this is probably karma, you dishonored the father

Wether it's God almighty or the almighty dollar

We follow the prophets like Islamics or the Dali Lama

Your bullet points so hollow they could prolly pierce body armor

Look in his scope, my people still a target

Smile on my face, tears of sad clown

Feeling out of place as I whistle a cab down

If I tip extra, can I huff a cig?

Blow my smoke out the window, dropping ashes on the bridge

I'm in New York now like Akeem and Semi was

Tryna get the lobby door open from a semi buzz

I just want to go to slum and throw my money on the floor

Like the notorious bum, uh

Build a home, teach a class, start a revolution

Free the mind, heal the body, talking evolution

This that black Elohim Anunnaki rap

That Farrakhan Hakeem Olajuwon Qaddafi rap

I dedicate this to my **** in New Orleans

Rocking black and gold stocking caps

And fleur-de-lis Shockey hats

I'm in the coat room screaming, who dat on the devil

Serving gumbo with a shovel, dawg, I'm on another level

Me and Kweli come together like two pieces of metal

We magnetizing the ghetto

Yeah, now here's the memo

I'm a rebel without a cause, a bezel without no flaws

And shawty, you straight, but you look way better without no draws

Let's sweat out this alcohol, bet I'm about to ball

And never let up, look how I just crept up without applause

Fed up with all the frauds, they left y'all without a job

The center of attention,  this is clever, I'm Pal Gasol

Really though, I'm LeBron, really don't got my mind

On this new school of rappers, I will really go Columbine

And throw up the diamond sign, boy, you know I'ma shine

Flow is in Ramadan 'cause  couple years ago

The Game had they pajamas on, but now they on my dick

Man, I should throw a condom on

Ay, 'cause a **** come in raw like I ain't got one on

And I ain't stopping nor copping no pleas, I just like a little squeeze

Dawg, I'm on a higher level, I'm on top of nose bleeds

**** say they sick, but when the rap, they don't sneeze

Like the **** on the block waving his glock, but won't squeeze

Please, hey

Hold your applause until the ceremony end

Yours truly, truly blessed, yet again a noble planted

Super magic, abracadabra, get mysterious Master Jim

Blacker pant, arrowhead with a long barrel stem

And his apparel fresh

Harbor lights shining out the black power grid

With the Black Power grip and pure power, don't power trip

Push the cellar ceiling and make the tower tip

The Gladwell point and Babylon polish

All about nothing where it's all about the dollar

And mansions on the  fort line never shaky market

The devil at the dance off thirsty for a partner

Get off him, there is not a parcel or a portion

Or a measure of a fortune more awesome, gorgeous

The funky four horsemen and one more

With Hi-Tekk on the score once more

Of course, you're welcome

Thanks appreciation for your participation

Special dedication, celebration

It's ours
