brother ali - aretha lyrics

[verse]
k!lled all of the leaders, and they left aretha
when the last breath leaves ya
realize they don’t die at a ripe, old age
most are cut down in a rightful blaze (destiny)
that’s right on the times’ front page
so they devised a more silent way
give ’em pain that they’ll never escape
drugs in the vein to self+medicate
make surе they’re nevеr awake
so they’re accepting their fate in a restful state
they need you smilin’ or silent
anything else, they call you violent
if you ain’t cosignin’ a tyrant
there will be no shinin’ in your horizon
they love choppin’ down a hero
big, red zero and a bar through your mural
they will feel no such thing as mercy
better dig your own well if you’re thirsty
can’t beat ’em at their own game, heard me
until your name’s on the front of the jersey

interviewer 2: i just wanna have a conversation, i don’t know, i’m not big on “question interviews.”
brother ali: but that’s how interviews work
interviewer 2: yeah
interviewer 1: not necessarily though
interviewer 2: let’s ask questions. who inspired you to come up with the hip+hop game?
brother ali: man, that’s everywhere. you can get that on wikipedia
interviewer 2: that’s true
brother ali: everything that’s ever been written about me, that’s question number two
interviewer 1: why did you wanna go on the pilgrimage you went on? obviously, something came, very strong, spiritually feeling, that made you want—
brother ali: you’re answering the question
interviewer 1: no, i’m not
interviewer 2: yeah, no, no, no. let’s+let’s move past—
