K’naan ☆ I Come Prepared

Set to high
Now calling all revolutionary youth
Dam Marley alongside K’naan
Gunpowder philosopher
what some boy feel like
I made the list this year
I’m on a roll you ain’t know
East African rock ‘n roll
You don’t know what time it is
like your clock is old
You ain’t know
you’re packin’ like the block is sold
How could it be
from the deepest darkest of zero
To become king of New York
like De Niro
And he ain’t even from New York
that’s what’s weird yo
But where he’s from
They just ratatata ratatata
So come now
don’t you try to play the hero
Around here we’ve got pirates
with torpedoes
Alongside all the warlords
and beardos
The only city niggas blacker
than tuxedos
Baby girl
let me get all up in your earlobe
And if you shut me down
you can kill my ego
Which is my enemy
makes you my amigo
So either way you
and I are button and needle
And they say I might become
big as a Beatle
But I don’t let it get to
my head or feet yo
And I got more street cre
than legal
But just in case
we keep a big Des Eagle
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Ready
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Always
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Peppa peppa
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
What was I on
before this flow or sequel
Somethin’ about how
I thought I was a Beatle
I’m trippin’ but
it was something lethal
It was fresh but possessed
something medieval
I came solo
I ain’t even bring my army
The type of niggas
that’ll always ruin the party
You know those socially
inadequate Somalis
Who walk in uninvited in your V I P
And Africans love them some B I G
But Tupac is official H N I C
And my job is to write
just what I see
So a visual stenographer
is what I be
Superman superstar
give me super fat dough
So I can be super rich and super fat so
But maybe not super far
but super stacked though
So I can fix some money
shit on super back low
How many immigrants
are in this here sedan
And is anyone carryin’
any contraband
Not really but I’m late for
my concert man
And here’s a card for
my lawyer Mr. Sam Goldman
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Ready
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Always
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Yeah Zion youths
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Some no cowboys
no the Kalashnikov
no play taebo
If him feelin’ off the balance
feel walk tight rope
And gamble with
them rafters like a casino
And a somebody for
save them like them save Nemo
Cause the Somalis are
Somalians some mad people
We a travel with some long strap
in our vehicle
And a screech across
the border like a Latino
Moving through the L A Xs
and London Heathrows
Wait man a gangsta
we no star freak show
No gimmicks nor shenanigans
a real street flow
Feel me woman
a feel flier than a Flamingo
Real bullet we a bust
and a no Placebo
K’Naan have so much gun
him open gun depot
And we take way boy gun
just like we a gun repo
So tell some tosse MC
there’s no more free throw
Soon as we finish a clip
another clip reload because
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Ready
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Oh now
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
I come prepared
Yeah I come prepared
I come prepared
