I’m Back Lyrics
[Intro: AZ]
Yeah
This is it right here
This defines me
Turn my mic up
Let's do it, let's do it
[Verse 1: AZ]
Spirit of Marcus Garvey
Farad Muhammad, Medgar Evars and Bob Marley, I'm God-Body
The scripture says Allah's inside me
Show love, I was hugged by the arms of Gandhi
Gave me my strength
You could tell somebody raised me with sense
We all need somethin' to help us through our daily events
Bear with me; the toughest niggas tear quickly
No lie, pops still cry and he near fifty
Freedom or death, I give niggas a reason to sweat
There's no test, verbally it's like I'm seen as the best
Who wanna try me?
[Sample Hook]
Yeahhhhhhh, yeah-e-yeah
I'm back!
[Verse 2: AZ]
Sent to express grace
Separate the weaker niggas is the less weight
Fuck how y'all feel, y'all cowards now fuckin' with real
I return like McGrady got caught with a pill
Let's get it poppin'
I move like a nigga coppin'
I know the stress from the streets when I was diddy-boppin'
Playin' the corners face-to-face with the faces of mourners
It's hard to trace the informers until it's too late
Jake rest on my corners
The focus is back, I play a part in this culture of rap
Bought some whips so I relate on how these vultures attack
Flippin' and runnin', double-park, rippin' up summons
How many niggas hittin' twin sisters and flippin' they cousins?
Call it finesse, the game — give it all I posses
Nothin' changed, I'mma ball to the death
Yeah
This is it right here
This defines me
Turn my mic up
Let's do it, let's do it

[Sample Hook (El Shaber)]
Yeahhhhhhh (That's right)
Yeah-e-yeah (Show these cats how we do this here, nigga)
I'm back!
[Verse 3: El Shaber]
I'm like a, rose in the desert but how can one grow without rain?
How can one experience happiness without pain?
And how could I fall to the violence of hell and still remain sane?
And how could I still remain on top of my game?
When both the black and the white devils seek the power to rebel
Seek to defy my radiance, I shift gears to another level
I'm focused, but it's like I'm playin a cold hand of spades
I got a lot of hearts, but these fools tryin to cut me and I'm tired of these jokers
Vengeance is mine, I plague the whole planet with locusts
I survived the mayhem, my advantage I've been the brokest
I wasn't drugged and inhaled by all the smokers
Then I became the love absorbed by all the cultures
I can't trust women because my heart was scorned
It's hard to trust yo' comrades, when yo' heart was torn
One-nine-seven-oh the God was born
[Sample Hook]
Yeahhhhhhh, yeah-e-yeah
I'm back!
Yeahhhhhhh (That's right)
Yeah-e-yeah (Show these cats how we do this here, nigga)
I'm back!
