One of the key themes of Spike Lee’s ‘Do The Right Thing’, the movie that chiefly inspired ‘On The Wall’, is the concept of the Wall of Fame; in ‘Do The Right Thing’, the central location is Sal’s Famous Pizzeria, an Italian-American pizza parlor, with an Italian-American Wall of Fame featuring prom...
[Intro]
Yeah
Yo to be on this Pop Music Wall of Fame
This Hollywood Walk
GRAMMY podium
Do I gotta be more than Black?
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I know Prince is your favourite
Kobe is the greatest
Only get in formation if Beyonces it
We beyond meets and greets
We stay vagrant
Coz it be real beef
If you saw it in your face
You call me the negro
Or maybe the redbone
The high yellow
The fellow with melanin so gold
But if I'm real blessed
And written for orchestral
The way that they arrange it
See me as colourless all
Over TMs
Endorsements for Special K to TMZ
Lines that leave your head full
Of the ideas
That LT ain't merely
Black
He more than that
So no need to fear me
Don’t fear me
Don’t fear me
Yeah t
That LT ain’t merely Black
He more than that
So need to fear me
[Chorus]
Magic, Eddie, Prince
More than Black in this
You the shining Black prince
New Malcolm X in this
Seeking out an exodus
Or amalgamate the kiss
Bringing Black and white together
All power at your lips
Magic, Eddie, Prince
More than Black in this
You the shining Black prince
New Malcolm X in this
Seeking out an exodus
Or amalgamate the kiss
Bringing Black and white together
All power at your lips
[Interlude]
But see
To be on this Wall Of Fame
For Black music
Black Art
Black culture
Maybe imma just be that
That only brothers know
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Yo I'm dialing the burner
Boys from Nigeria learn the
Young Monk
The one taking it further
Fela to Fila
Ads I'm looking Kuti
Boo in FUBU and kente
She boujee
Batik the boutik
Family portraits
When a brother on the wall
They need to me to portray
The Black royalty
A line of Soul Train
My key to lost city of Atlanta a maze
That's straight to freaknik
See me as icon
I'm the best kept secret
Seeking out my song
The cinco de mayo Don
A show of independence
Only my culture
Know me as the bestest
[Chorus]
Magic, Eddie, Prince
More than Black in this
You the shining Black prince
New Malcolm X in this
Seeking out an exodus
Or amalgamate the kiss
Bringing Black and white together
All power at your lips
[Verse 3]
Got Jay-Z
Nas & Shady as my top 3
Rakim number 4
Ain’t no knocking the
God MC who invented the style
Only question left is
Who rounding out the top 5?
Well my name LT
Imma state the case
Pretty deep in it now
On the paper chase
But 2030 at your BBQs on Labor Day
You gone bring the Monk up
And debate the name
