Brooklyn Academy (ft. Will Tell, Lil Lego, Block McCloud, and Black Panther) - “We Will Rise”
[Produced by Black Panther]
[Intro: Samples]
“My plan for intergalactic domination is already on the way” - Sample from [?]
[Verse 1: Will Tell]
Yo, yo, yo, ayyo
Meet the brain. The world is ours. I’m the one to drain your powers
‘Til there’s no one else standing on Earth. Come out, you fucking cowards
We like to drink, we like to soup, we like to rob and steal
Me and Panther’s like Huey Newton, Bobby Seale
Look into the eye of the storm. Let me forewarn
You’ll get shot, then torn apart and drawn to the start
You’ll start having visions of the crusade of the Christians
And bad decision are made by presidential positions (I’m not a crook)
Before I wake you out your trance, I’ma make you dance
Like a chicken on stage, running round, singing “Famous Last”
It’s your funeral. The Undertaker without the mask
I’m Jet Li on jet skis. You never get to ask
“What the fuck happened?” Lighting struck from the magnum
The Dirty Harry of rap wars covered in platinum
I placed on a pedestal with the Greek gods
Immortal like Cheech and Chong, Will Tell, I beat the odds
[Hook: Block McCloud and Lil Lego]
[Lil Lego]
Thou shall not kill
Thou shall not steal
[Block McCloud]
Peep the culture. Son, we not pop, son
Ignore your mom and pop, then bop ‘til the cops come
Shorties want fun. Brooklyn Ac’s the fun guys
Will Tell, Block, and Panther drunk ‘til the sun rise
[Verse 2: Block McCloud]
I am Caligula, desire empire
The emperor, the heat. You need a fire extinguisher
Try to remember the first time you witnessed the
Flow like this. So righteous, divine, I’ll deliver ya
From Evel, I’m Knievel, bring the noise like dirt bikes
This be my birthright: drop poems like first strike
Summer to winter, we running this thing to
Get under your skin. Son, we puncture like splinter
We raise the price up to invade the cypher
Break the ice up with golden flows like Jägermeister
Satan vs. Christ, the clash of the titans
When writing, enlighten or smash like M. Bison
Street Fighter. Nice with the hands, you get the two-piece
A biscuit, a basket, a-tisket, a-tasket
A casket, don’t risk it. I spits with the ratchet
I mastered this business, got rich off the racket
[Hook: Block McCloud and Lil Lego]
[Lil Lego]
Thou shall not kill
Thou shall not steal
[Block McCloud]
Peep the culture. Son, we not pop, son
Ignore your mom and pop, then bop ‘til the cops come
Shorties want fun. Brooklyn Ac’s the fun guys
Will Tell, Block, and Panther drunk ‘til the sun rise
[Verse 3: Will Tell]
I’m the male form of Harriet Tub, running the Underground
Call us “C.H.U.D.” Addicted to the smell of blood
I shapeshift. I’m the glitch in The Matrix
My veins pump poison ‘til I’m filled up with hatred
My life story is Goliath and David
Biblical scriptures of restless natives and old souls that hold it sacred
I’ll take my dreams and I’ll make ‘em real when I scroll it down
‘Til it’s so hot, you need to stop, drop, and roll around
[Bridge 1: Block McCloud and Lil Lego] (x4)
Brooklyn Ac’
[Verse 4: Will Tell]
What? Ayyo, I’m back, bro, like Galactus, where the world overtax us
Burn you like matches, person for practice, swirling a hatchet
I’m swerving through traffic, sipping on a Purple Passion
Turn you to maggots. Me to rap is like Merlin to magic
Burn you bastards at the stake. I’ll make the Earth quake
Every day’s my birthday. The star of the wordplay
Hey
[Hook: Block McCloud and Lil Lego]
[Lil Lego]
Thou shall not kill
Thou shall not steal
[Block McCloud]
Peep the culture. Son, we not pop, son
Ignore your mom and pop, then bop ‘til the cops come
Shorties want fun. Brooklyn Ac’s the fun guys
Will Tell, Block, and Panther drunk ‘til the sun rise
