Testo di Equality – Afu-Ra ft. Ky-Mani Marley

[Bridge: Ky-Mani Marley]
Slow down, don't rush
I'm here to keep the peace but I'm prepared to say, ay
Slow down, don't rush
I'm here to keep the peace but I'm prepared, now I say

[Chorus: Afu-Ra]
Yeah, I pledge allegiance to the hip-hop
Yeah, I pledge allegiance to it non-stop
What? I pledge allegiance to the hip-hop
Yeah, I pledge allegiance to it non-stop

[Verse 1: Afu-Ra]
Meditation, equality
It keeps me level headed, the mentality
Cool, calm, post-hypnotic with suggestion
Never stressin', heat chamber's never sweatin'
Honeys cryin' 'cause her man she caught cheatin'
Mothers eyein', sons cut down like bushes
Daddy's sicker than the landlord, just evicted
Stressed to death, month by month until he kicked it
I seen ya hustlin' on the dark streets, the mental
Look what you been through, you just escaped reality
Now what you into is just a technicality
Check it, deep inside of my head like TV
The lifestyle I live so crooked you won't believe me
Lessons learned that I could walk a tight rope
Even though I toke and choke, don't provoke
Uh, now you can call me Afu-rastahood
'Cause I rob from the rich and I give to the good
Even though it's for the money, B, I'm droppin' knowledge, G
Straight shots to the head, peep the summary
Wake up in the mornin' got me yearnin' for food
Yeah, yeah what, huh, I'm that type of dude
Pledge allegiance, pay attention, payin' homage
So much time held in my hand, none for college

[Chorus: Afu-Ra]
Yeah, I pledge allegiance to the hip-hop (Hey Afu)
Yeah, I pledge allegiance to it non-stop (Hey Afu)
What? I pledge allegiance to the hip-hop (Hey Afu)
Yeah, I pledge allegiance to it non-stop (Hey Afu)

[Bridge 2: Ky-Mani Marley]
Slow down, don't rush
I'm here to keep the peace but I'm prepared to bust
They wanna guide my medication with their crooked laws
Say I can't hold a bong and smoke, my Lord
But, if it's war that they want, we are ready, are registered
The king, it is he, who defends me
So when it's time for the showdown
We're marchin', the soldiers Babylon get throwed down
When the war is over we burn up the whole town
And my spliff will stay lit from sun up to sun down
Ayy, ayy, Afu

[Bridge 1]
Slow down, don't rush
I'm here to keep the peace but I'm prepared to say, ay
Slow down, don't rush
I'm here to keep the peace but I'm prepared, now I say

[Verse 2: Afu-Ra]
Stimulating verses like blood working
Paper hits the pen like the needle to your skin
Blow your blood up, Xena, heroin
More contagious than sex (Sex), nobody flex
Dangerous minds, little kids throw gang signs
Treacherous times, too many can't press rewind
Stress the elevation, wrap my thoughts like a mummy
It's funny how sometimes some smart ones are dummies
Scorin' a million, forget the S.A.T
Now I, leap more towers than Pisa, peep the ether
Wrap it in a scroll, pass it off to Ky-Mani
Lessons of exquisiteness versus poetry

[Bridge 1 + Chorus]
Slow down, don't rush
I'm here to keep the peace but I'm prepared to say, ay
Slow down, don't rush
I'm here to keep the peace but I'm prepared, now I say
