(chorus 2x [scratches])

This, is, original indigenous

This is all that we know that we have (cul-cul-cul-culture)

This, is, original indigenous

This is all that we know that we have (die-die-die for they culture)

(I-Self Divine)

We dealin' with sound, filling ya crown with immaculate

Concepts, classic air max in cortex

Vortex, sucking you in

Building my fortress, forcefield

Forty acres for construct building

This hip-hop landscape is my energy and culture

High lyricism spill my blood for the rapture

Metaphor foreside me guided me wise me

Sewn shut like an inseam how niggas eyes be

Chewin' on crushed glass, through how to see the robbery

Geeked off the tips million dollar lottery odyssey

I'm, sincere to the utmost, severe to industry cut-throats

For real, hip-hoppers feel niggas glucose

The fashionest, isolate the fascist

Mashin', supplemental stashes of hash plants

Thirty G, cash advance, an avalanche

Full of faulty plans, galaxies shatter, for lack of ASCAP

(chorus 2x)

"This is all that we know that we have, is this life

Those who don't believe, that they can suffer now and get theirs after death"

(I-Self Divine)

Pain, tattooed to the face type how I feel. General, I-Self damaging, earning his stripes

Queens thought the obelisk movement was love movements

Love music, kings and queens conceive seeds to this

And achieve high degrees to this

Life specialists, my grandmaster flash message is

Very visual and graphic like bombed precincts

With self-inflicted wounds to the cardiovascular instinct

98 degrees nsync

Interchangeable cables and links

Medallions the size of kitchen sinks

With labels and angles designed, for Europeans in mind

We distorted the prism with turtle-shine

Geographical slang, Kings english cut and butchered

Assassinate, reborn a culture that could cultivate

Bullet ricochet through asbestos hallways

Asthmatic athletes run fast in track meets

This, is, original indigenous

Before Columbus, or Columbine High gun busts

Supreme, queens glistening the radiant sun

Marley Marl, Mantronix, Soul Sonic, hold chronic

Like heaven on Earth, when the vinyl hit the obelisk

Water-head niggas burst when they over-confident

Impact, my senses on gats up in they head wraps

Drug-traffic rap, aftermath on the mayhem

(chorus, 2x)
