I, leap over lies in a single bound (Who are you?)

The Black Prophet

One day I got struck by Knowledge of Self

It gave me super-scientifical powers

Now I, run through the ghetto

Battlin my, arch nemesis Mr. Ignorance

He's been tryin to take me out since the days of my youth

He feared this day would come

I'm hot on his trail, but sometimes he slips away

Because he has an army, they always give me trouble

Mainly - Hatred, Jealousy and Envy they attack me

They think they got me

But I use my super-science and I twist all three

I see sparks over that buildin - they're shootin at me

I dip, do a backflip

Then hit em in the heart with sharp steel bookmarks

Ignorance hates when I drop it

But no matter, what he do.. he can't stop the Prophet Yo Prophet, yo Prophet, come here real quick

Yo I just saw Ignorance downtown, let me put you on Word, he down there buggin

He got them illin out, they shootin and everything else.. Let's continue the saga, mad mad drama

I met this chick, she said she knew where Ignorance was at

I said, "Where?"

She said, "Downtown"

He had babies havin babies - and young niggaz sellin crack

I think the bitch is lyin, it's a set up

I can smell it, but Ignorance is runnin rampant

Aight baby show me the exact spot

Meet me at Hoyt and Schermerhorn at 3 on the dot

So I hops up on the A-Train, I'm bein followed

My seventh sense senses danger

I turn around, it's Anger

and he brought a mob along, it's the same old song

Despair and Animosity got broke with the swiftness

I don't know what they think this is

I feel a sharp pain in my neck

Now I can't see, I'm like Hiram

They hit me with the dart filled with the pork chop serum

I tried to hold on but before long I dropped

When I awoke I was locked in the barber's shop

Trapped in the barber's chair

Oh no, they're gonna try and cut my hair

But that can't stop the Prophet Yo Prophet!

Ignorance is tired of you followin him around

We about to put an end to that RIGHT NOW

Anamosity (YEA!) Despair (YO WHASSUP?) Get him!! A few minutes passed by, I hear a buzzin noise

It was that chick with some of Ignorance's boys

She said, "Prophet, we got you beat;

by the way I'm Mr. Ignorance's wife, Deceit

But enough talk; now for your hair cut"

When the clippers touched my hair, they blew the *** up

After the explosion there was no one left

Cause I know *** Mak/poison hand/touch of death

My vision's still kinda blurry, but I see a clue

Ignorance is at the library

I hurry, with lightning speed like The Flash

He's at the big one, on Grand, Army Plaz'

When I get inside the doors shut and the lights go off

Damn, another trap

I hear a hissin sound, I smell a funny smell

I gasp, I can't breathe

Ignorance is laughin at me

Waitin on my downfall, but he can't stop the Prophet
