Introduction:
"I don't hide nothing back. I-I barely, I mean I come from a family of poor welfare, know what I'm sayin. When I came out of my mother's womb I was on welfare. So it's like, you gotta keep it real. See, if you jump into anything and you try to change your way...see like, where I come from, if my niggas on, my people know me. So if I try to come any different, they not gonna respect me no more" - Ol' Dirty Bastard
[Verse]
Ayo peace
See I can brag on every rapper I built
But it wouldn't mean a thing if I aint help myself
Respect the cypher
Came through swinging like "what's the wordie?"
Belly feeling light
Been mad hungry to tell my story
Since the youth man
I bring that truth
I've been that dude
The Devil to get to lurkin'
I get to bombin' on foos
Now I done ran through the building like I
Demand the presence of God
Whenever I'm speaking
Where I be
For rats, a cold casket
Never befriend em we speaking different
I throw him off a roof just for existing
He a dead man
The undertaker, I welcome the many faces
Complexities of agony
For those that are trying to battle me now
Say it louder
That money, I'm prolly woker
You done seen a couple movies
Think you Joker, I beg to differ
I'm from a small town around these parts
Play it smart
You've got a lot of heart, sing
[Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-day

Introduction:
Long lige Prodigy. The saga begins. It be the infamous, the villainous, VON POE VII resurrecting this...
[Verse One]
Aight now,
Need all attention off them wack-rhyme Houdinis
Niggas puff la, they nose blood
Like popping off graffiti, wild litty
Better get your mans, that battery pack
Gon' have him lookini at gats
This aint no place for the rats
I'm blacker than cold nights
Like Marcus Garvey with Berettas
The seventh letter
Get it crackin when I'm feelin it
Living how I'm gettin it
Rippin off into synonyms
Runnin up in the buildings
The villain equip with many men
Too many caskets
It's open season on you heathens
My foot up in yo ass
Just the way that I be kickin it
Sign my roster we could do this
Forever villainous, then reminiscence
On memories, the years we spent to get to this
Now look at how I'm living it
A product of the people
Never see me braggin
Iced-out greedy neglect the needy
[Chorus]
Yo it's the G.O.D.
Villain VON P. - P.O.E
P-Town the mind thinks
Heavy on my thoughts, I speak divine King
Drama I bring, yo that's a small thing
[Bridge]
I've never been a victim
Round the blocks that I rock
Mad love in the city I officially docked
[Verse Two]
I know mad cats
Living it large, or they living wealthy
By any means a selfie on blocks
They screaming fuck cops, and what not
Time to regroup before they let loose
Aye, who knew?
Now all things moving just like they used to
Said they saw the spirit of Prodigy
When they spotted me
Your favorite rapper sold out
Left me to build economy
Look, I'll spit a flame
Put a hooligan in his diaper
This aint the ending you've been seeing
Spoken in a cypher, it's mad love
For Riverside thugs
Who bang across clubs and bust slugs
Carry they guns while they on the running
Before the fashion
Only gritty titties in stilettos
She kissing on my neck-bone
My foot up on the peddle
Yo, sign my roster we could do this
Forever villainous, then reminiscence
On memories, the years we spent to get to this

Introduction:
Rude boy
See, you a cool boy
I like your groove boy
So whatcu do boy?
You pack a tool boy?
Oh, you a fool boy
You break the rules boy
(Word, that's how I'm feelin it]
[Verse]
Rat-tat-tat-taaaaaaa
The nappy-headed brethren
The broken code inside
The word of reverends
I'm bringing that truth back
For niggas who look just like me
I'm burnin like 4-wheelers
When spinnin off in the low-low G
They wanted me cold feelin
But I'm feelin like they prolly
Got the wrong villain
Aint never seen the god like this
But I plead the fifth
Now, meditation with the locus
Over-dedicated my devotion
You aint never had a friend like me
Hocus Pocus
[Bridge]

Introduction:
Rise and shine baby. Yall ready to turn up? Yall ready to get crunk, get fuckin energetic as a mothafucka and 7 in the fuckin morning? Yall ready for that? I know yall got work and all that shit, some of yall got kids and shit, ya know. But I got that new Cardi B for ya'll to vibe out to. I got that new Migos, for ya'll to vibe out to nigga. Have a good one nigga.
[Verse]
Radio Man, Radio Man
When you plan on playing something
For the regular man, I mean
Get it how you leaving without a question
But it's 7 in the mornin', I'm just guessin'
That maybe, the 99 aint really tryin' to hear about
A mothafuckin millionaire
Or millionaires that sing about
Billion-dollar lifestyles
They know they can't afford it
When I see them out in public
They be lookin' hella morbid
Look, yo ain't it funny how many rappers
Done turned dummy, yo they was thinkin
There was money to be acquired
What I desire, a quality of living
My time breathing
Life and all its meaning
Use to the pain as fuel
And push it through the ceiling
The Villain, ooouuuuu
Bumping through your stereo speakers
I rep the seven god, the holiest teacher
Yo bet I rock out
Picking up where niggas should of left off
It's time to take off.
[Chorus]
Radio Man, Radio Man
When you plan on playing something
For the regular man, I mean

Lord of The Rings

[Verse]
Ayo the Black man
That be walking off with the Lord of the Rings
The immaculate blingin'
And head-locks to fuck yall feeling'
I be that Devil Slayer, emancipation proclamator
The day walkin', night stalkin'
Talkin' while he barkin'
Who the fuck want beef?
Get seven shots to your teeth
I'm feelin them cold nights
Creepin up in ithe realms I feed
How many died for these streets
Am I destined to be a victim
Or the villain that I speak of
Knowing these bars anonymous
My beanie rock a durag
Pants hangin by my dick-line
I'll stomp you with my chucks on
Middle finger to the one time
Don't get me started yo
I came in this rap hungry
I took a couple years off
Niggas was acting funny
Now, I'm similar to Denzel
Or a Robert De Niro
They call me the Black Pharaoh
Threat Culture, all my apparel
I want your heart as a medal
I give a fuck about that bullshit
Braggin about your homeboys
Knowing they could never move this
[Chorus]
Gutta Gutta
What's the word mothafucka

Introduction:
"What I wanted to talk to everyone today about, I don't really want to preach, I just wanna more bring up some questions. And since I always tend to be a scapegoat, I thought we'd talk about blame. Right now everybody wants to blame music, they want to blame movies, but uh, have we forgotten that we have a dead guy hanging from a tree in our livingrooms?" - Marylin Manson
[Verse]
Ayo imagine coming off soft
On blocks I rock, we know the ledge
I've been close to the edge
Whatever ya'll thought, that's minimal
Who births a criminal to pinnacle's peak
And under the moonlight we chanting Peace Akhi
Ayo peace thunny, I'm flowing like
Masters of rappin' speaking
In a matter of fact like
Knuckles bangin on the bleachers
I'll teach ya, beautiful souls
Whose hearts my goals unfold
The poetry I speak is evolved
We 89-ing slick style wars and
Demand the world in my hands
A quiet dude, but never running from them
Yo, get your mothafuckin face stomped in
And without a doubt, I bring that
Terror to the warfare, niggas that go there
[Chorus]
Know the ledge
You a god my friend
Know the ledge
Never fold nor bend

Introduction:
My love gon' shine, my heart gon' shine. Just know that...
[Verse]
Ayo the storyteller
The rhyme director, Helta Skelta
Malcolm-X and Marcus Garvey both
Be marching off to the letter
The Holy Mecca, Mr Neva Crackin' Under Pressure
The Roman face vernacular
You know the god, spectacular
The Asiatic Page Master, the rapture
Behold, The Pale Horseman
I am Death across the axis
Speaking words to prophecy, walk with me
I've never seen the "God of He"
I AM, infinite and complete like...
[Chorus]
My love gon' shine
My heart gon' shine
My light gon' shine
The god gon' shine
Just know that.
[Closing words from Radiance]
