Round Here

Brother Ali is back in town

Came a long way to make that sound

Break through Earth from hallowed ground

Played with my blood to wear this crown

Brother Ali is back in town

World on my shoulder, weigh me down

Break through Earth from hallowed ground

Played with my blood to wear this crown

Uh, fact about it, I'm a force of nature

Leader of men, boss of my organization

I ain't in to bein ostentatious

I offered the pages that caught a lot of y'all in the Matrix

Soon as I caught a break, I was off to the races

Invaded the remotest possible places

Seen it first hand, yeah it's hard to explain it

I've been around the world, left my heart on them stages

They want your boy, all all on they faces

Hollered out a roar, they holla in amazement

I follow all the greatest, A-list, taste makers

That shaped this and they're all innovators

I'm so firmly grounded in the basics

Yeah, dishonor, get pounded to the pavement

Dealin with the voice of the nameless, faceless

Face it, your participation ain't gonna be painless

I won't debate that I'm sort of a sadist

I use most your faces to sharpen my blade with

Combat takin place, not entertainment

Lives been lost, it's a hostile arrangement
