Is this- is this how you want it to play out?
Yo
The last thing you'll ever see me do is submit to what they want
Resistance first
I'll turn all this shit on its head
Yo, I'm trying to write verse here
Could you just- yeah, thanks

I'm a harlemite honey
Rolling just Egyptian joints
And I think I find you funny
But I see you missed the point
I'm on a mission with the vision
Don't be dissing my pride
Talkin' bout wasting my time
Imma die for these lines, for my cultural truth
Tryna replant these roots

I called Tutankhamon
Told him to bring me some olives
He said they're buried, Felukah
Thought you knew this was true
I guess I knew this was true
Are the pharaohs really over or can I still wear jacko?
(What does that even mean?)
Nefertiti is still eating
Tryna tackle all my issues with that Egypt-Giza gold
Be the best you ever known
I'm walking down 125th
Notice the shift
Catch the downtown D to West 4th Street and I'm lifted
'Lil twisted
Christmas ain't even come yet but I'm gifted
I give this energy to flow to you
To remedy the melody
Stuck on love amphetamines
You readily so heavenly flow in throughout my mind

Why the fuck they telling me what they want?
As if I try to supply my artistry to the fame
Well I decline
Not my kind of path
It's not the life, it's not the vibe
Just tryna wrap my diaspora
I'm revolution-inclined
I'm new to you so you wilin'
I'm not just out here making friends
I'm tryna uplift my own lineage
Make America think again
I'd rather die than play pretend

We made amends end of the 70's
What's a peace treaty supposed to tend to?
Do I show you famine in Yemen
And get you lemon for water
She need it sparkling
Don't matter who can't find they daughter
Yo
Say when you put these things in parallel
No they very well don't equate
But if it means I start the conversation
Fuck, I'll take the blame
Let's talk perspective
Yo let's talk and this time say the names
Who keeping our peace away?
Who keeping our peace away?
When Ford realized that Kavanaugh'd be supported by the courts
She felt supremely wronged and grossed out
Our abusers on the board of the nation's decision-making
And lord, I seen it all
No, it's fucked up out here

And it's still sad back home
Sisi ain't the first Egyptian homie blinded by control
And the military's involved
And the people still gotta eat
Putting they schoolbooks make 'em listen
They got surveillance at its peak
If Orwell were around today we'd make the brother laugh
How long he done predicted that 1984 would last?
And I still be skipping class
If they ass be tryna colonize, know they affecting me last
I be building my rocket anyway
I'm taking off
Three, two, one, blast
I'm a harlemite honey
Making just Egyptian noise
No, they addicted to the money
Your ass ain't leaving me no choice
They don't wanna do this
I stay true, boy, and you knew this
From the get-go learned my hermeneutics
No Felukah with the snakeskin
Shedding off all your bullshit 'til I'm famous
(Shedding off all your bullshit 'til I'm- ha, ha)

Alright, something like that
You know what I'm saying?
That's the kind of shit that matters
If you know what I'm saying
Yeah
That's it, the story's over
Rice pudding
Yeah
And if you don't like it then what can I do?
Alright
