You Can't Stop The Prophet Lyrics - Jeru The Damaja

I, leap over lies in a single bound (Who are you?) 

The Black Prophet 

One day I got struck by Knowledge of Self 

It gave me super-scientifical powers 

Now I, run through the ghetto 

Battlin my, arch nemesis Mr. Ignorance 

He's been tryin to take me out since the days of my youth 

He feared this day would come 

I'm hot on his trail, but sometimes he slips away 

Because he has an army, they always give me trouble 

Mainly - Hatred, Jealousy and Envy they attack me 

They think they got me 

But I use my super-science and I twist all three 

I see sparks over that buildin - they're shootin at me 

I dip, do a backflip 

Then hit em in the heart with sharp steel bookmarks 

Ignorance hates when I drop it 

But no matter, what he do.. he can't stop the Prophet 

Yo Prophet, yo Prophet, come here real quick 

Yo I just saw Ignorance downtown, let me put you on 

Word, he down there buggin 

He got them illin out, they shootin and everything else.. 

Let's continue the saga, mad mad drama 

I met this chick, she said she knew where Ignorance was at 

I said, "Where?" 

She said, "Downtown" 

He had babies havin babies - and young niggaz sellin crack 

I think the bitch is lyin, it's a set up 

I can smell it, but Ignorance is runnin rampant 

Aight baby show me the exact spot 

Meet me at Hoyt and Schermerhorn at 3 on the dot 

So I hops up on the A-Train, I'm bein followed 

My seventh sense senses danger 

I turn around, it's Anger 

and he brought a mob along, it's the same old song 

Despair and Animosity got broke with the swiftness 

I don't know what they think this is 

I feel a sharp pain in my neck 

Now I can't see, I'm like Hiram 

They hit me with the dart filled with the pork chop serum 

I tried to hold on but before long I dropped 

When I awoke I was locked in the barber's shop 

Trapped in the barber's chair 

Oh no, they're gonna try and cut my hair 

But that can't stop the Prophet 

Yo Prophet! 

Ignorance is tired of you followin him around 

We about to put an end to that RIGHT NOW 

Anamosity (YEA!) Despair (YO WHASSUP?) Get him!! 

A few minutes passed by, I hear a buzzin noise 

It was that chick with some of Ignorance's boys 

She said, "Prophet, we got you beat; 

by the way I'm Mr. Ignorance's wife, Deceit 

But enough talk; now for your hair cut" 

When the clippers touched my hair, they blew the fuck up 

After the explosion there was no one left 

Cause I know Dim Mak/poison hand/touch of death 

My vision's still kinda blurry, but I see a clue 

Ignorance is at the library 

I hurry, with lightning speed like The Flash 

He's at the big one, on Grand, Army Plaz' 

When I get inside the doors shut and the lights go off 

Damn, another trap 

I hear a hissin sound, I smell a funny smell 

I gasp, I can't breathe 

Ignorance is laughin at me 

Waitin on my downfall, but he can't stop the Prophet
