[The Prophet]
I, leap over lies in a single bound (Who are you?)
The Black Prophet
One day I got struck by Knowledge of Self
It gave me super-scientifical powers
Now I, run through the ghetto
Battlin my, arch nemesis Mr. Ignorance
He`s been tryin to take me out since the days of my youth
He feared this day would come
I`m hot on his trail, but sometimes he slips away
Because he has an army, they always give me trouble
Mainly - Hatred, Jealousy and Envy they attack me
They think they got me
But I use my super-science and I twist all three
I see sparks over that buildin - they`re shootin at me
I dip, do a backflip
Then hit em in the heart with sharp steel bookmarks
Ignorance hates when I drop it
But no matter, what he do.. he can`t stop the Prophet
[Deceit]
Yo Prophet, yo Prophet, c`mere real quick
Yo I just saw Ignorance downtown, let me put you on
[Girl #2]
Word, he down there buggin
He got them illin out, they shootin and everything else..
[The Prophet]
Let`s continue the saga, mad mad drama
I met this chick, she said she knew where Ignorance was at
I said, Where?
She said, Downtown
He had babies havin babies - and young niggaz sellin crack
I think the bitch is lyin, it`s a set up
I can smell it, but Ignorance is runnin rampant
Aight baby show me the exact spot
Meet me at Hoyt and Schermerhorn at 3 on the dot
So I hops up on the A-Train, I`m bein followed
My seventh sense senses danger
I turn around, it`s Anger
and he brought a mob along, it`s the same old song
Despair and Animosity got broke with the swiftness
I don`t know what they think this is
I feel a sharp pain in my neck
Now I can`t see, I`m like Hiram
They hit me with the dart filled with the pork chop serum
I tried to hold on but before long I dropped
When I awoke I was locked in the barber`s shop
Trapped in the barber`s chair
Oh no, they`re gonna try and cut my hair
But that can`t stop the Prophet
[Anger]
Yo Prophet!
Ignorance is tired of you followin him around
We about to put an end to that RIGHT NOW
Anamosity (YEA!) Despair (YO WHASSUP?) Get him!!
{DJ Premier cuts and scratches: Can`t a damn thing stop me}
[The Prophet]
A few minutes passed by, I hear a buzzin noise
It was that chick with some of Ignorance`s boys
She said, Prophet, we got you beat;
by the way I`m Mr. Ignorance`s wife, Deceit.
But enough talk; now for your hair cut..
When the clippers touched my hair, they blew the fuck up
After the explosion there was no one left
Cause I know Dim Mak/poison hand/touch of death
My vision`s still kinda blurry, but I see a clue
Ignorance is at the library
I hurry, with lightning speed like The Flash
He`s at the big one, on Grand, Army Plaz`
When I get inside the doors shut and the lights go off
Damn, another trap
I hear a hissin sound, I smell a funny smell
I gasp, I can`t breathe
Ignorance is laughin at me
Waitin on my downfall, but he can`t stop the Prophet
[Mr. Ignorance]
Well Prophet
It seems like you`re in a bit of a jam
I hope you can unstick yourself
Oh, and what you did to my wife, it was nothing
I have others
Hahahahahaha... hahahahaha.. hahahahahah...
The saga continues!
