[RA]

Aiyo I heard some cats sell ‘em – say what?!?! – not me, kid I collect ‘em
Skeletons to get up in the best of ‘em
The rest of ‘em are prolly permanently on lock
Scared to death to open up when opportunity knock
Truly we stock ya jewelry shop with antiques
Push the lid back – reveal the mysteries the man speaks
Upper class require solid brass – heavy to hold
A handful require solid – who me?
I keep a ring around my belt like custodial staff
I got access to follow philosophical paths
Freed my mind from the fetters and chains to better my name
The letters rearranged themselves to spell L.I.V.E.
The key is mine to give to my descendents
To unlock rhymes within my sentence and lies in a time’s minutes
It glistens when the sunshine hits – reflectin’ light from a distance
And that’s the key difference…
The key is mine to give to my descendents
To unlock rhymes within my sentence and lies in a time’s minutes
Pride in a dime’s blemishes the wise inside a cry’s sentiments, yo
I hold mines to the finish…

[BORN BLESSED]

This combination’s sure to crack the code
And if not we’re comin’ back with that to make it explode
And rain gems on main events – delayin’ ya game
Muddy uniforms the cuneiform displays my name
“Born Blessed" in the days of Hamurabi
An eye for an eye – we make it apply to armed robbery
And probably ½ the crime rate before I see thirteen
Why? ‘Cause nothin’ else is working…
But if we duplicate the keys we own – studies have shown
We can progress beyond the comfort zone
And go from – sittin’ on chrome to – sittin’ on thrones
When they address royalty they change their tone
I won’t ever have to go it alone knowin’ what I know
Rebirth and surface to earth ghosts of Cairo
The key to survival’s my attribute
Descendent of gods – I be the Scion of RA – the offshoot (like that)…

[RA]

I’m trynna pass on the knowledge accrued to newborns
So the youth will be forewarned and stay SAFE…
And we reciprocate the gift and show love in true forms
Yo the youth aint doin’ no harm – we play it SAFE…
