Let's go!
We are witnessing a hip-hop apocalypse
If you ain't got them bars, I promise it's looking ominous
Let's get it going, let's get provocativ?
[?] stopping us, we are the n?w conquerors
Rappers get unruly and moody, [?]
Bragging about material objects with people starving, bruh
And that's why the phrase "eat the rich" is so popular
Please, these elitists can never defeat the populace
Now who these novices think they tryna get bruh like
Without architecting this and the inception of Megalopolis
I leave your city, your room, which is like a [?] and rap like a mummy
Let's get buddy a sarcophagus
I break a rapper like a promise
Standing next to famous artists, these niggas' biggest accomplishments
This is culture over politics
The language of these lames is Greek to me like Acropolis
Life is all about balance, I stay on your dean
You got to ride to the challenge, I stay on your dean
Whether on and off stages, I stay on the dean
Even when collecting wages, I stay on my dean
Praises to the Most High, this an offering
Trust I'm just getting started 'cause I got more to bring
I've been to the mountain top like it was all a dream
I'm moving loving, that don't cost a thing
We've arrived where people ain't living they just survive
People scared of the truth get more comfortable with the lies
When they come at you and hate this really love and the disguise
They hate the only language that angry is going to provide
There's nothing you can do to me Lanes in the try
How you going to kill me? A nigga already died
Ignorance is not a virtue and neither is Betty Pride
You cranky go take a nap, you niggas like Barry White
Right, they want our people all in chains
Was it all in vain is what we ask the Lord as we the call His name
It's all a game to these colonisers, yeah, they all the same
They causing pain and slaughter all the game like [?]
If all things was equal, they would forfeit games
Like we saw them pouring rain so the slaves revolt and set it all on flame
Employment gain for all the sisters rocking the horses, mane
We talking slang, Tribe Called Quest in the Hall of Fame
Life is all about balance, I stay on your dean
You got to ride to the challenge, I stay on your dean
Whether on and off stages, I stay on the dean
Even when collecting wages, I stay on my dean
Praises to the Most High, this an offering
Trust I'm just getting started 'cause I got more to bring
I've been to the mountain top like it was all a dream
I'm moving loving, that don't cost a thing

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
