Quotable Lyrics
Possessed by Marcus Garvey, the vessel, the body
Ancestors inside me, I’m starting the insurrection
The pope’s blessings upon me couldn’t even calm me, protection
Come from prayers, my question, why they try to play us? I’m guessing
It’s cause I call fundamentals, they might offend you
And when I wore my fatigues, what I got into
On the corner, had power, was a trapping shorty
Making plays every hour, I did it for the glory
