Victory! (come Forward) Lyrics - Brother Ali

(CHORUS) 

Victory 

Ours are the cries that breathe life in the concrete 

Victory 

Ours are the tears that splash genius at God's feet 

Victory 

Ours are the prayers that weave poetry through drum beats 

Victory

(VERSE 1: Brother Ali) 

Step inside the mind of a soon-to-be legendary 

Straight paramilitary 

Brother Ali exist to read the scripture, it's never read 

Whoever said this underground hip-hop shit is dead 

Must have fallen on his head 

Spent my lifetime buildin 

Writin rhymes I remind rappers of everything that scared them as children 

They call me show stopper 

No opera singer has hit the exact pitch, I spit my flow out of 

Taught directly by the source of all knowledge 

You don't affect me till you're forced to draw powers 

Respect me as a voice amongst scholars 

Who speak deep to thee, move the sleep from your eye lids 

Make your lungs flutter 

Get it right, my inner light cast shadows on the sun, brother 

I'm where the rubber meets the concrete 

It's a cold world, not sayin bring your your own heat 

I'm just sayin don't sleep 

I'm walkin with the lion till the day that I die 

And the pens have been lifted and the pages have dried 

And a big smoke screen wrote my name in the sky 

Politickin with the angels knowin they would reply 

Got the lungs of a cyclone, tongue of a python 

The reason why your favorite MC sleep with the lights on 

Right on, brother, we def as fuck 

Not 'deaf' like (What?) but 'def' like (WHAT!) 

From the depths around the planet where my name's spoken 

We here to get our brains open and our chains broken 

Watch me walk around the planet with the same notion 

His adversaries thought the pain broke him 

But we run up in a stadium with diagnostics 

Two tables and a mic and take a crowd hostage 

And the very first item on my list of demands 

Is that all these freedom fighters start liftin they hands 

Photos 

(CHORUS) 

To my freedom fighters and the graffiti writers 

And the people like us - come forward 

And to the torch carriers speakin Arabic 

Ridin on your charriots - come forward 

To my political prisoners, individual listeners 

Who feelin this - come forward 

And to the bone shakers and the home makers 

Raisin our own saviors - come forward 

(VERSE 2: Brother Ali) 

Me and my people are signed, sealed, delivered, incorporated 

brought to your by Rhymesayers Entertainment 

You got to face it, we not complacent 

We came for your debasement and left your face bent 

And me, mister Brother Ali is the stomp-down-beat-kicker 

Who walkin the streets with the so real philosophy 

Until I fulfill prophecy there's no real stoppin me 

Obviously I'm the bomb, believe me 

Opponents come up missin and they all beneath me 

I know my soldiers need me, they call and beep me 

I walk the streets freely with (?) beneath me, boy 

We stays gettin it on 

Act hard and I probably make you strip to your thong 

Dissin your song and feel you mouth to fist when you yawn 

Nibblin on a rapper till the gristle is gone 

I stand and sing from atop Mount Ararat 

I am a king, just ain't got my kingdom yet 

And my anthem ring from the Congo to your set 

I'm Alfred Hitchcock with my silhouette 

Pourin Blood On Beats till the trumpet is blown 

Coffins, I release em when I'm up in the zone 

Fortune favors the brave and press on is the motto 

Cast shadows on the sun with my bravado 

(CHORUS)
