Lyrics:
CRACK ROCK BE THE MUSE
MAMA SUNG THE BLUES
DADDY DID HIS ONES AND TWOS
WEARING DOWN HIS SHOES
ROCK THEM GROWN MAN PANTS FOR OVER A BAND
THIS AIN'T FASHIONOVA FOR MEN
NEVERMIND THE BRAND
THESE HOES WANNA PUT Y'ALL NOSE IN MY BIZ
BUILD WHOLE CAREERS OFF MY STOLEN IDEAS
EMOTIONAL KNOWING I'M EXPOSING YOUR HAND
WHY EVEN GO THERE? ITS ONLY FAIR
WHEN YOU'RE UP YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SHARE
THAT’S REAL TALK DON’T LET THESE RAP NI**AS
BLOW SMOKE UP YOUR ASS
SHOULD'VE WORN A MASK
TO SMASH AND GRAB
NI**AS LEFT THE PAD RANSACKED
DID MY VANISHING ACT
HAND TO HAND CRACK IN A SANDWICH BAG
WE DANCED ON THE PACK
POPPED THE BUBBLE IN THE AIR MAX
TIL THE MOTHERF**KER'S FLAT
WHAT’S F**KIN WITH THAT?
FOR ALL THIS GAS MIGHT NEED A BLUNT WRAP
BE BLUNT WHEN YOU RAP
YOU AIN’T GOT TO BE A RUNNING BACK
TO FUMBLE THE BAG
GOT TOO MUCH CASH TO BE HUMBLE
BUT STILL I'M NOT ONE TO BRAG
OVER DUNGENESS CRAB
WE DOIN NUMBERS FOUR MIL
TWO IN EACH DUFFEL
WE DOIN LUNGES
EAT YOUR FOOD BUT WE NOT LUNCHING
I JUST WANTED NOURISHMENT SUSTENANCE
ENDED UP WITH ABUNDANCE
CAUSE THAT’S WHAT ALLAH WANTED FOR BELOVED
I'M A HUSBAND I MADE LOVE TO THE OVEN
THEN JUMPED IN THE CULLINAN
MY SON WAS IN THE BACK COLORING
I'M COVETED
I BEEN THUGGIN
I'VE BEEN WANTEDBY THE GOVERNMENT
ALL MY LIFE BEEN ON SOME OTHER SH*T
CRACK ROCK BE THE MUSE
MAMA SUNG THE BLUES
DADDY DID HIS ONES AND TWOS
WEARING DOWN HIS SHOES
REAL HUSTLERS AND TRUE PREACHERS
RAW ARTISTS AND MOVEMENT LEADERS
THE PEDIGREE OF PURE DREAMERS
SCRIPT FLIPPERS READ THE SCENE AND SUPERSEDE IT
CONVENE WITH THE SUPREME BEING WHO CONCEIVED IT COWROTE A NEW SEASON
PAVED MY OWN ROAD TO TRUE FREEDOM
THIRD WORLD RESIDENCE
VISAS AND GUCCI SNEAKERS
PHONE FULL OF CANCELED ICONS
A FEW MUMIAS
FIVE PERCENTERS MGT’ERS
QADIRIYAH SUFI SUNNIS SHIAS
MY CATALOG STREAM
WITH WORLD LEADERS DOING FEATURES
PEN BLEEDING ALL MY SUFFERING AND GRIEVING
CELEBRATE ACHIEVEMENTS
BREATHE AND EXORCIZE DEMONS
COLLECT A YEAR’S WORTH OF TEARS
AND DRIP EM IN MADINA
HEART CONNECTED TO THE ART
AND ARCHITECTS OF GIZA
COHIBA ROSE SHISHA
ARROZ CON BANANA MOGADISHU
PORT OF MOKA BEANS
SEEPING THROUGH THE BONA VITA
FORMER DOPE FIENDS
PROVED TO BE MY HOLY TEACHERS
THREAD THE NEEDLE
WITH THE TRUTH TO FEED THE PEOPLE
I SPEAK PEACEFUL WITH AN UZI IN MY EASEL
DEEP CREASES PUT A GROOVE UNDER THE NEEDLE
LAZER BEAM LENS
TO SHOOT A MOVIE IN THE STREET
CRACK ROCK BE THE MUSE
MAMA SUNG THE BLUES
DADDY DID HIS ONES AND TWOS
WEARING DOWN HIS SHOES
LOUDER THAN A BOMB
LIGHT THE FUSE
IT'S RAMADAN
NOT A CON FOR SHARES LIKES AND VIEWS

❤❤❤ I’m gonna find a spot and just run Ali in the background. Set that mood, and let it be a conversation starter. Thank You
Was it worth the wait?
@@ergophoniche was like the only 1 literally here 9 days ago. Fuego 🔥👊🏽
Criminally underrated
This is so relaxing and jazzy. This may be my new favorite
Brother Ali I do not think that i would be as into poetry and music as I am now without your influence, thank you for existing.
Two of the smoothest voices in rap
Thank God for Roc Ali
This is gold
Night Stroll Music🌌
AlhumduAllah Love n Service CD arrived in mail ! Now to hear the work in entirety iA JAK ❤️🇲🇱
Roc floating on the horns
Damn, was surprised to see Roc Marciano listed as a feature only to be blown away by the beat and both your verses. Incredible stuff - really looking forward to the release. Stay strong my dude / all
This the collab we been needing! Roc Ali!! 🔛🔟
You and me both
Dopeness
Cigar & whiskey vibe🔥
I just wanted nourishment, and sustenance. Ended up with abundance cause that's what Allah wanted
No way, these two are on a track... 😮
I had to double make sure that it's not some mesh up
💎⛏️🎵🎶🔥💣🔥💣🔥🎧🎤🎤😤 2 of the best ever!
This track puts you in a trance.
MARC BABY

🫡 ALI! 🙏🏻👍🏼🧘🏻♂ respect! 💎
Roc all day
Oh my lord. Awesome...awesome
Peace from California! ✌🏽
Dua answered. To hear jazz and Medina, Saints, Sufis, port of Mokha, and teachers. To hear the name of Allah and the Most Beloved is hearing a testimate to truth for the imminent Day of Judgement. I am happy hearted to hear faith imbued with what your shoes walked thru: dunya brought you three to akirah and capital T Truth.

Brother Ali I am learning to code and listening to your art every day. I hope to hack the algorithm someday soon, to counteract the quashing that society doles-out upon truth-tellers.
Thasswassup!
This collaboration is so good. I would not have thought, Oh you know who Ali should work with is Roc Marci, but dang if this doesn't work! And the production is smooth as silk. I bought a copy of CD before they sold out. It's clear Brother Ali put together a great LP right here.
Ali the goat that never cared to be called that
lawwd a mercy roccccc marciiii
This beat makes me feel like I shouldn’t give up yet on making beats too.
Thanks for this, God!

Man !!!! When Ali said "I'm a muslim, I'm in the struggle with my black brothers, I'm a muslim I'm voting for Bernie then going to the Kaaba" That was real hip hop bars there son!!!!!
Ali rocked it! I'll have to listen to this again a few times to catch some more of what Marciano was saying.
Masha’allah 🤲🏾 pure halal bars
Fuckin…just fucking…beautiful
This track is insane 💯
WOW Wow wow.. just wow.
This is PHENOMENAL
This collab
Hypnotic
Nice artwork👌
The whole vibe of this track is amazing. Would have loved to hear Marc write his verse without any curses, but I guess that's the raw and real Roc.
He’s a legend and I wasn’t gonna ask him to edit himself. So honored he came through so hard.
@@BrotherAli_Travelers No doubt, I completely understand. Thank you for blessing us with this amazing music!
@@BrotherAli_Travelers Yes indeed This one Heavy and so peaceful with a raw sound and so smooth.
That's like telling a painter don't use the color RED, BLUE or green???🤔😅 Phuuuk no no
Why do curses bother you?
