It's lonely at the top But it's cold too And that's the only part they don't show you It's lonely at the top But it's cold too That the part they won't show you One of the earliest forms of story Coming out of Africa Tales Of Glory A Fable is a tale about animals But in reality, they're just humans in a sample It instructs us It teaches us something bout our behavior That we might not see in ourselves but more so in our neighbor But most folks don't like to be told About they damn self so a story unfolds Then an emcee like me has to come and referee A twist the story and act like I'm talking about other emcees But in reality, I'm more so talking to the listener But I ain't dissing ya Nah, don't get it twisted sir When we came to these shores years ago We brought along a flow that we barely did know Made up some new ones when there were more peculiar behaviors On part of the ones who enslaved us Coming in with the drumming in out the speakers We would tell stories about crafty foxes and sneakers Worn on our feet and getting chased by the cops Man we only talking about situations that never stop Slavery of the mind We trying to find survival codes Get a grip, sharpen your wits and tell the younger folks Each and every instruction comes with coded language Messages hidden inside of what we're saying Man seen toad and donkey having a race in the street I hope that brare rabbit finally gets some sleep The first Spider-Man was black tho For real the first Spider-Man was black Little Black Mary Sweet as a berry How does your garden grow With collard greens and beans and all the little things That make beautiful black children grow You know
