    This is The Turn, they ain't ready for Prestige yet
    The flow is too collegiate, the show is too prestigious
    Pretty like a flower, refreshin' like a shower
    Depression makes me sour, but it's still a feelin'
    My human heart and all my senses say, "It's still appealin'"
    I could be dead and gone, a brass band
    The second line, I could be headin' home
    And passersby may shed a tear after she read the stone
    This is luxury
    The story of life is not tragic
    It's magic

    Teardrops on my faces, like teardrops become waterfalls by the time they reach my laces
    My eyelids is like levees but my tear ducts is like glaciers

    Have you ever heard the tale of
    The noblest of gentlemen who rose up from squalor?
    Tall, dark, and decked out in customary regalia
    Smellin' like paraphernalia
    Hailin' from the home of Mahalia
    His uptown smile was gold like a Frankie Beverly day
    His favorite song from Prince was not "Raspberry Beret"
    It was "Sometimes It Snows In April"
    He was brought up by the faithful
    In the cage of every unclean bird, ungrateful and hateful
    The legend of the clandestine reverend from the Bricks
    With the master's grip to pull the sleeping giant out the ditch
    And I ain't even have to wiggle my nose like Bewitched
    I just up-shift to six, convert the V4 to a broomstick
    Though I tarry through the valley of death, my Lord give me pasture
    If you want to be a master in life, you must submit to a master
    I was born to lock horns with the Devil at the brink of the hereafter
    Me, the socket, the plug, and universal adapter
    The prodigal son who went from his own vomit
    To the top of the mountain with five pillars and a sonnet
    The autobiography read Quranic
    Spread love like Kermit the Frog, that permeate the fog
    I'm at war like the Dukes of Hazzard against the Bosses of the Hogs
    Gip-Gip-Giggity, Alchemist put the icing on the soliloquy
    Let it be forever known that I niced up to pen something considerably
    Jay Electollah Flomeini mainly is support mainly
    The fatwa he issued on al-Shayṭān was delivered plainly
    It's the day of Qiyāmah
    To the believers, I bring you tidings of joy
    But if you want beef, I'll filet mignon ya
    You could catch me bummy as f*** or decked out in designer
    On I-10 West to the desert, on a Diavel like a recliner
    Listen to everything from a lecture
    From the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
    To Serge Gainsbourg or Madonna or a podcast on piranhas
    What a time we livin' in, just like the scripture says
    Earthquakes, fires, and plagues, the resurrection of the dead

    THE IMAGERY HE CREATES IS SECOND TO NONE
