Since his debut single “Come Clean” (1993), Jeru claimed to “control the mic like Fidel Castro”, the notable Cuban dictator also known as “El Presidente” (The President).
In this DJ Honda produced joint, the Brooklyn born MC reiterates this claim, proving that he still controls the mic, possibly bri...
[Intro]
(scratching)
It's the ol'-sama
Of the Commie-sama
With the Ichiban DJ
King of the Iron Fist
We nasty at this
[Jeru]
Jeru the Damaja, DJ Honda, unorthodox
Off beat style, Musashi style
Lyrical swordplay
And it goes like this, check it
[Verse 1]
Black Castro up on me, Fidel Negro
King terrific can't be hit
You're wastin' time, spendin' ammo
Scientists balance pol-ar
Digital mic-ro chips in your mo-lar
Hardcore nucle-ar
Ain't the devil happy? Har-har
Rich rap star keep the sol-ar manifestation
And the stars succeed to the sun in this mathematical equation
Police still on my dick like an invasion
Lock me up, snatch up the transportation
Winter in New York, South Pacific migration
Wack emcee's watch this nigga's frustration
Believe me when I tell you that I dictate the mic like Fidel does his nation
Keep it flowin' like libation
Big heads the perfect target for decapitation
Cook rhymes 'till they al dente
Lock down the mic like El Presidente
[Hook]
(scratches by DJ Honda)
+control the mic like Fidel Castro+
[Verse 2]
Conquer more dips than the late Hannibal
Terrain gets too rough, I ride the beats like wooly mammals
Smokin' shit like Joe Camel
Fatal when inhaled
Double-0-seven but you still got tail
Q's scrambling device must have failed
Spies, thick thighs, and mics get mil, lies
Deception, military prowess
Bad bitches, tours, and microphone powers
Chemical warfare and mortar showers
Once again blowin' up shit like the Twin Towers
Poison rhymes for enemies or whoever devours
Holdin' shit down until the last hours
[Hook]
(scratches by DJ Honda)
+Control the mic like Fidel Castro+
El Presidente
Fidel Negro
DJ Honda
Black Castro
Musashi be doin' it like that
Lyrical sword style, you know what I'm sayin'?
Puttin' all emcees out on they back
Can't handle it
You don't know it hits you 'till it hits you
That's it
We done, finished
Peace
