You can find it on the rack
in your record store(store)

The Motherland (uh)
Stick out the left,
then I'll ask for the other hand

So what can you do in the

Whatever it may be into
this society
Everything is fair,

You must be honest and
Don't be phony and expect
one not to flex
Ebm
Especially if you rhyme,
you have to live by the pen
Your man is your man,
then treat him like your friend
Em
All it is, is the code of the streets
So listen to the knowledge being
dropped over beats
Ebm
Beats that are hard,
beats that are funky
It could get you hooked like

What you gotta do to is know that
the Tribe's in this sphere
The Abstract Poet,
