Lyrics:
“KNOW YOURSELF”
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE METROPOLITAN TO THE HOME OF THE OTTOMANS
THE GLOBE IS MY OTTOMAN TOES UP ON EVERY PART OF IT
I AIN'T DROP A DOLLAR ON MY DOCTORATE I PROBABLY GOT A SCHOLARSHIP
COPPED OUT THE YARD WHERE THE ROCK IS CHIPPED
WE ALL LIVE WITH GENERATIONAL TRAUMA
WITH FOREFATHERS THAT BEEN RAPING ENSLAVED MAMAS
THEY TOSS A ROBE AROUND EM AND THEY CALL EM YOUR HONOR
HE’S HANDING OUT SENTENCES NO PERIODS OR COMMAS
JUST PUBLIC DEFENDERS MEANING THE OPPOSITE ARE OFFICERS GOVERNMENT OFFENDERS
BUT ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT ALLAH’S GONNA REMEMBER
LIKE HOW’S A PIMP A SINNER IF DOLLARS ARE LEGAL TENDER
THEY JUST WANNA LET THAT LOCK CLICK IN A BOX LIST YOU LIKE SCHINDLER
THE CHANCE FOR YOU TO WIN AGAIN IS SLIMMER THAN VIRGINIA
BUT THE AKH’S A LOCKSMITH WHEN I'M IN THAT COCKPIT
MY BETA 58 IT’S GOT A RUBBER GLOCK GRIP
OPS POPPING S**T GOTTA ADMIT I'M NOT CONVINCED
I USE TO KINDA WONDER I'M NO LONGER ON THE FENCE
I'M ICONOCLASTIC MY NOVELS ARE GRAPHIC
USING MY RIVAL'S IDOLS AS TARGET PRACTICE
STATEMENT SO SACRED THEY SCRAPING IT ON A TABLET
REMEMBER WE WERE BABIES WE PISSED AND FLIPPED THE MATTRESS
NEVERMIND THE ELITE SEATS THAT I SIT IN
BELIEVE ME THESE JEANS STILL SMELL LIKE FRIED CHI-KEN
IF YOU'RE MUMBLING WHEN YOU'RE RHYMING THEN WHY LISTEN
MY OWN LINES RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND WHEN Y'ALL SPITTIN'
IF YOU’RE GONNA SKAT DON’T CAP JUST CALL IT SINGING
BILLIE HOLIDAY DID THAT BUT IT SOUNDED DIFFERENT
THE CLOCK TICKING THE PLOT THICKEN SHOTS RINGING OUT ON DARK-TINTED BLOCK FROM HARD LIVING
I’M ONE OF THE MOST AUTHENTIC THAT EVER DID IT
TO SPIT THE INTIMATE INNER VISION
I DIP MY PEN IN A WELL OF TEARS AND SCRIBBLE TILL HELL APPEARS
THEN I REPENT AND SMEAR MY RECORD CLEAR UNTIL HEAVEN HEARS
IT'S BEEN TWENTY YEARS ENGENDERING CHEERS
THEY KNOW THE LOAN IS INTEREST BEARING WHENEVER THEY LEND ME EARS
LIKE GIVE ME THREE MINUTES AND TWENTY SECONDS AND HERE’S
MY HIGHS LOWS JOYS WOES AND ANY PENT-UP FEARS
I DON’T HAVE MANY PEERS ON ANY HEMISPHERE
THE ONLY THING I APPEAR TO BRING TO THEM IS FEAR
VIOLATOR SEE I DONE MADE THE MESSAGE PLENTY CLEAR
MY OMEGA MY ALPHA CLAP IT ALL IN THE CHAPTER
I’M ABSOLUTELY NOT A PASTOR I’M JUST PASSIONATE ABOUT THE SOUGHT-AFTER HEART OF THE MATTER
YOU ARE NOW ROCKING WITH A TRUE AND LIVING MASTER
WELCOME TO THE EXTRAVAGANZA

I must educate myself more on this man's music. I love lyricism
There’s a lot of music there and a lot more to come. Enjoy!
You need to cancel everything you're doing for the rest of the yr homie lol Congrats on discovering one of the greats! Peace and Love!
I suggest starting from Fresh Air.
Brother Ali is ridiculously good...
Have fun. It's a journey.
I’ve had the blessing of seeing Brother Ali live twice already!!! When he walks on stage U can see his light!!! GOD BLESS this man for speaking the truth!!! 🙏🏽

I listened to the Podcast today, so had to come listen and watch the video too. So excited to see the animation with the music and hear all these beats from Unjust. The work that you've been doing on yourself shows in the way you are carrying yourself and the way you shine now. You've always had a special shine, but its even brighter. May we all keep killing this self-improvement game.
May The Creator make us worthy of people’s good opinions

Another authentic truth-filled jam. You have taught me to shine my light for many years and through your lyrics have changed my soul forever. Your work has inspired me to write and through that introspective writing, I have reconnected with parts of myself I had thought lost forever. Much Love, Brother Ali. Thank you for your cosmic contributions. One day, I hope to share some of those chapters that were influenced by you. Until that time, stay awesome! Just know that you are making a difference if people’s lives through the sharing of your personal stories, which become the most universal.
What a beautiful compliment. Sending you that back and praying for the best.
Thank you for your reply, kindness, and connection. I'm going to send the few chapters I have written, inspired directly by your lyrics to your (connect) email address. They really have touched my soul. Much love, Brother Ali. I hope the email somehow finds you in this cosmic space we share.
Mashallah, thank you for what you do. You are a part of me finding Islam, it means a lot. Asalaamualaikum
This is in my daily rotation for sure, keep it up Brother Ali. so excited for the rest of the album.
