I'm Back
A.Z. Lyrics

Spirit of Marcus Garvey, Farad Muhammad
I carry the legacy of these influential figures and embody their spirit

Medgar Evars and Bob Marley, I'm God-Body
I revere these activists and musicians and consider myself a divine being

The scripture says Allah's inside me, show love
I believe that I possess the divine energy of Allah and display it through love and positivity

I was hugged by the arms of Gandhi, gave me my strength
The teachings of Gandhi have inspired me and given me the strength to face challenges

You could tell somebody raised me with sense
My upbringing instilled me with good judgment and common sense

We all need somethin to help us through our daily events
We all require some form of support or assistance to navigate the challenges of everyday life

Bear with me; the toughest niggaz tear quickly
Even the strongest individuals can show vulnerability and emotion in certain situations

No lie - pops still cry and he near fifty - freedom or death
My father still shows raw emotion despite his age and the mantra of 'freedom or death' resonates with me

I give niggaz a reason to sweat, there's no test
I pose a legitimate threat to my competition and they have no choice but to acknowledge it

Sent to express grace
I was brought to this world to embody and show grace in my actions and demeanor

separate the weaker niggaz is the best way, fuck how y'all feel
I have no qualms about distancing myself from those who I deem unfit or unworthy

y'all cowards now fuckin with real
My authenticity and realness is a stark contrast to the cowardice of others

I return like McGrady got caught with a pill, let's get it poppin
My comeback is as explosive and dramatic as when McGrady was caught using performance enhancing drugs

I move like a nigga coppin
My movements and actions are calculated and deliberate, like a drug dealer making a sale

I know the stress from the streets when I was diddy-boppin
I understand the difficulties of street life and have experienced it myself while dancing the diddy-bop

Playin the corners face to face with the faces of mourners
I have had to face the grief and tragedy of those affected by violence on the street corners

It's hard to trace the informers until it's too late, Jake (?)
It's difficult to identify those who inform to the authorities until after the damage has been done

The focus is back, I play a part in this culture of rap
I am refocused and back to my roots in participating and influencing the rap culture

Bought some whips so I relate on how these vultures attack
I purchased expensive cars to understand how the rap industry exploits and preys on young artists

Flippin and runnin, double-park, rippin up summons
I engage in reckless activity and brazenly disregard the law

How many niggaz hittin twin sisters and flippin they cousins?
The rap industry is filled with a lot of promiscuous behavior and sexual relations with close family

Call it finesse, the game give it all I possess
My skill and finesse in the rap game comes from a lifetime of dedication and hard work

Nothing changed, I'ma ball to the death
Despite the passage of time, my passion and commitment to rap music remains the same and unwavering

How can one experience happiness without pain?
One cannot fully appreciate happiness without experiencing pain and adversity

And how could I still remain on top of my game?
Despite the difficulties and struggles, I am still at the pinnacle of my success and artistry

When both the black and white devils seek the power to rebel
Both oppressors, regardless of race, seek to undermine and disrupt my success

Vengeance is mine, I plague the whole planet with locusts
I seek to exact my revenge on my enemies and will create havoc and destruction to achieve it

I survived the mayhem, my advantage I've been the brokest
I have weathered the chaos and turmoil and have emerged stronger and more resilient, despite being at the bottom

It's hard to trust yo' comrades, when yo' heart was torn
Having suffered emotional trauma, it's difficult to fully trust those who are supposed to be your allies

One-nine-seven-oh the God was born..
The year 1970 marked my birth and the emergence of a rap deity
