halaj pharaoh-jali lialu - don't look back كلمات الأغنية

[intro]
kanye west
homage

[verse one]
(don’t look back) i proceed with no trepidation
for i am the next chapter written in the black
nation and i was taught at a young
age to continue the story i must peruse the prior
page (don’t look back) so my dad p-ssed down
his books but the margins were packed with the notes
he took and since he left every page marked
i was forced to inscribe these principles on my heart
(don’t look back) so from el hajj malik
el shabazz i was taught don’t ever be afraid
to evolve then i met nat turner who preached
to me the importance of god-fearing courage
(don’t look back) from frederick dougl-ss i learned agitate
agitate, agitate, until white power
breaks and these are only a few
but pops i’d be remised if i didn’t acknowledge you (what’s going on son?)

[hook]
step by step on this dim lit path
i gotta lead my people out of this wrath
but i’m lost and don’t know if my way is right
father, i humbly come to you for advice
step by step on your beautiful path
you will lead god’s people to freedom at last
but before you lead, you must learn, so may the ancestors
lead you and teach you and free you just be you
and

[verse two]
(don’t look back) i proceed with no trepidation
for i am the next chapter written in the rap
nation but if i wanna rhyme
i gotta know what was written in the last line
(don’t look back) so pops gave me a list
of emcees said do your homework then come back
to me i did my homework came
back, pops said alright, now you’re ready for real
rap (public enemy number one) (don’t look back) since pops was raised in strong island
first, he played me chuck d the archetype for the (eric b. is on the cut)
polisocial emcee, then he took me to rakim
the father of modern lyricism (boogie down productions)
(don’t look back) but it’s about more than rhymes
so, he gave me krs to develop a spiritual mind
and these are only a few
but i must give honor to herc, flash and bambatta (what’s going on son?)

[hook]
step by step on this dim lit path
i gotta lead my people out of this wrath
but i’m lost and don’t know if my way is right
father, i humbly come to you for advice
step by step on your beautiful path
you will lead god’s people to freedom at last
but before you lead, you must learn, so may the elders
lead you and teach you and free you when you
write rhymes stay true and whatever you do

[verse three]
(don’t look back) so i stand with no trepidation
for i am the pharaoh-jali of the rap
nation and i was taught at a young
age to continue the story i must peruse the prior
page (don’t look back) and if i wanna rhyme
i gotta know what was written in the last line
well, the songs have been heard and the pages have been read
so, when the pen was given here is what i said
(don’t look back) i present the ruby
jubilee tetralogy four alb-ms for our forty
years in the mainstream when they reminisce over
me i pray that they say he taught me authenticity
(don’t look back) ‘cause he stayed true to himself
even if his stance didn’t align with anybody else
and for his people’s liberty
he didn’t fear the cross or the lynching tree (what’s going on, son?)

[hook]
step by step on this dim lit path
i gotta lead my people outta this wrath
i’ve come a long way but still a long way to go
father, why have you stopped walking this road?
step by step on your beautiful path
you will lead god’s people to freedom through rap
i have taken you as far as i can it’s in your hands
now lead ‘em, teach ‘em, free ‘em, and as you
walk through life always seek him, go forward my child
and (don’t look back)

[outro]
woo hoo!
thank you, god!
yo rocking with the rockers, jammin with the jammers
kool herc herc herc herc herc herc

- halaj pharaoh jali lialu
