Elijah

[Intro: K-Rino]
Elijah ain't the dead
The hypocrites' just scared
In due time haha
In due time let me tell you about him

[Verse 1: K-Rino]
Yeah, straight out of Sandersville, Georgia
The 7th child born to his mother and his father
Grew up in the time of where blacks had rare options
Not even 10 years old, already sharecropping
Working in the field at a real early age
Imagine a child quitting school in the 3rd Grade
There was something special about him, they couldn't comprehend it
He became a man that would transform the course of the planet
Living in the South under racism and evil
From day one he always had a love for black people
Fresh out of slavery, getting real truth was hard
In 1931 he was introduced to God
A man named Fard, came into the picture
Taught him and made him a scholar of math, science and scripture
Plus the mind has shut down what the enemy did
And debunked the lies of who they said the black man is
Elijah

[Interlude: Elijah Muhammad]

[Verse 2: K-Rino]
God knew the right person to deposit his message
When Elijah heard the truth he was compelled to accept it
Became a minister of Islam and drew life from it
He was given the name Kareem then later Muhammad
After 3 and a half years, Fard was gone
And Elijah was left to raise the Nation alone
But not really he wasn't alone, quiet as kept
Because Allah still covered him and guided his steps
Then he raised up a Nation who was blessed to come
At a time when black people got oppressed and hung
He taught us to do forself and start begging for rights
Begging to drink from the same water fountain as whites
Cleaned us up from drug using, lying, stealing and cheating
Taught us how to eat to live and how to love our women
And that America was gonna be destroyed and how
And everything he wrote back then, we seeing it now
Elijah

[Interlude: Elijah Muhammad]

[Verse 3: K-Rino]
He's not like the scary leaders who consistently front
There's reason he's not mentioned in black history month
Our consciousness went viral since his arrival
You can find him in the Book of Malachi in the Bible
Him and his disciples are all over the Book
You can find him in the Quran if you know where to look
You say you love Muhammad Ali and Malcolm too
But Elijah Muhammad taught them both all they knew
Every words you heard them speak, any wisdom they claim
Matter of fact, who you think gave them both their names
His son Warith Deen, Farrakhan a greatness of them
The spread of Islam in the West, you can trace it to him
In time he made us strong, built schools and farms
Taught us about the mothership, baby planes with bombs
The messenger of Allah sitting at God's side
The exalted Christ and oh by the way, he's still alive
