I love family 'cause family brings inspirationsOne love to you and peace to all the nationsAztlan the Puerto Rican and JamaicanAfrican the Maori, Kouri and the HaitianOn the chocolate reservationI'll take a hit and then pass the informationTo the left hand side and keep providin'Pride and sustenance and guidanceMass hysteria fools breaking down the barrierMilitant cliques big up the areaPut your fist in the air now, show me that cha care nowAnd that cha really know howDon't get thee behind me SatanI'll keep thee in front so I can kick thee in the assAnd assassinate all your wicked inventionsYour new world order and your global intentionsNot to mention the department of correctionsMakin' money off of people in detentionDoin' time for possessionsCountin' the days in the dark they buildin' up aggressionsProgressions all the dirty lessonsIn the belly of the beast only God hears confessionsGeronimo Pratt's still sittin' in the cellarDone as many years as they did MandelaParole board warned to know are you remorsefulHow could I be because I didn't do the crime yoY'alls the motha fucka's that's guiltyLockin' me in solitary eight year's of filthyKill the messenger, you can't kill the messageYo, I'm bringin' food for the massesFor the masses, for the massesMental food, food far the massesFor the masses, for the massesFor the true, for the trueSo let's eat have a seat call the Maitre D'Commencin' with the riddim, I get open on the beatLet 'em say what they say about the way that we beIt's the year two triple O, they can't stop meAw'ight, Sellassie I the book unfoldsI write 'cause half the story has never been told soNo one can stop it the whole world's droppin' out the socketBlowin' you like NASA when I rock itThe high tech ways of the civilized manCan't stand my people but ya love a sun tanFly the space shuttle like dancer and prancerYou nuke the North Pole, now you got skin cancerThe answer you see I'm fly like LufthansaYou can Valujet but you takin' big chances on crashesChange your name like CassiusThe classes be making food for the massesThen shift to a speed that's common for the listenersMC's and wanna be street politiciansIn competition with the envious visionsThey chasin' paper dollars to a pop chart prisonBut listen this isn't me against you'cause the whole world's checking out the things that we doYa sold your soul to the Saint Ide's brewThat's aw'ight I like the spirit in youFor the masses, for the massesMental food, food far the massesFor the masses, for the massesFor the true, for the true
