Equality - Afu-Ra

Slow down, don’t rush

I’m here to keep the peace but I’m prepared to say, ay

Slow down, don’t rush

I’m here to keep the peace but I’m prepared, now I say

Yeah, I pledge allegiance to the hip-hop

Yeah, I pledge allegiance to it nonstop

What, I pledge allegiance to the hip-hop

Yeah, I pledge allegiance to it nonstop

Meditation, equality, it keeps me level headed, the men-tal-ity

Cool, calm, post-hypnotic suggestion

Never stressin, heat chambers never sweatin

Honeys cryin, cause her man she caught cheatin

Mothers eyein, sons cut down like bushes

Daddys sicker than the land lord, just evicted

Stressed to death, month to month until he kicked it

I seen ya hustlin on the dark streets, the mental

Look what you been through, you just escaped reality

Now what ya into, is just a technicality

Check it, deep inside of my head like T. V

The lifestyle I live so crooked you won’t believe me

Lessons learned that I could walk a tight rope

Even though I toke and choke, don’t provoke

Uh, now you can call me Afu-rastahood

Cause I rob from the rich and I give to the good

Even though it’s for the money B, I’m droppin knowledge G

Straight shots to the head, peep the summary

Wake up in the mornin got me yearnin for food

Yeah, yeah what, huh, I’m that type of dude

Pledge allegiance, pay attention, payin homage

So much time held in my hand, none for college (college)

Hey Afu, hey Afu, hey Afu, hey Afu

Slow down, don’t rush

I’m here to keep the peace but I’m prepared to bust

They wanna guide my medication with their crooked laws

Say I can’t hold a bong and smoke, my lord

But, if it’s war that they want, we are ready, are registered

The king, it is he, who defends me

So when it’s time for the showdown

We’re marchin', the soldiers Babylon get throwed down

When the war is over we burn up the whole town

And my spliff will stay lit from sun up to sun down

Ay, ay Afu

Stimulating, verses like blood work ing

Paper hits the pen like the needle to ya skin

Blow ya blood up, Xena, hero-in

More contagious than sex (sex), nobody flex

Dangerous minds, little kids throw gang signs

Treacherous times, too many can’t press rewind

Stress the elevation, wrap my thoughts like a mummy

It’s funny, how sometimes some smart ones are dummies

Scorin a million, forget the S.A.T

Now I, leap more towers than Pisa, peep the ether

Wrap it in a scroll, pass it off to Ky-Mani

Lessons of exquisiteness, verses poetry
