(Hook) If they don’t rock with it Tell ‘em to step to the side Drop a hip-hop lesson and vibe That’s how we kept it alive Rock the mental exercise Climb the ladder, I’m the next to shine (shine, shine, shine) (Verse 1) Beam through a spot light, I’m feeing’ anxious Like I speed through a stop light, a bit dangerous Similar to them fog lights, I’m in amazement How I been through a long life, with a shorter age and How I been into harm’s sight, but shook the pavement Meanwhile I stay up all night for organization I know that I’ll be alright, the more that I pace it I’m somethin’ like the calm type, I’m known to be patient But don’t fret, the stage light be incredible My own quest, I may shine, it’s inevitable A great time to be special I don’t waste time, perro I save mankind from the rubble I’m on your poster, ya magazine and television But I suppose it was a merely a dream from the beginning And as I reach another plateau Indeed a hint of black soul And never be another AFRO (Hook) If they don’t rock with it Tell ‘em to step to the side Drop a hip-hop lesson and vibe That’s how we kept it alive Rock the mental exercise Climb the ladder, I’m the next to shine (shine, shine, shine) (Verse 2) If you don’t rock with me, tell ‘em step to the side I made the block litty, with an excellent vibe And when I drop through the city, it’s a blessin’ to shine So come and walk with me, let us take the best of a stride I inhale through the Rollie, and exhale the greenery I’m somethin’ like Paul Thomas Anderson scenery Maybe even Akira Kurosawa, Seven Samurai With the bright shine, my sword known to reflect light Born as an infant but since been the noble King This been the wish of an older me, the FRO to be No longer the misfit, I graduate to hold the key This my tradition, I navigate and hope to lead To greatness, I’m back and forth pacin’ The rappin’ course made him Known to never forfeit or break, bend And as I reach another plateau Indeed a hint of black soul And never be another AFRO (Hook) If they don’t rock with it Tell ‘em to step to the side Drop a hip-hop lesson and vibe That’s how we kept it alive Rock the mental exercise Climb the ladder, I’m the next to shine (shine, shine, shine)

Ha-ha! It's A-F-R-O Emcee, producer, actor, writer Yo, yo (Verse 1) I’m goin' on back to The Drawing Board I gotta get back to carnivore FRO I’m takin’ no shorts, I break through the force When I'm givin’ to the people that really done wanted more But I better go perform for the front row fans In the meantime, feel the funk, for the folk I flow for the fun and the fam, and the friends With a code of a man that go for the plan A-F-R-O in command Young veteran, better give me R-E-S-P-E-C-T And don’t let him in, if you ever did him wrong, you best be easy Fuck it, I’m ready for any enemy, I’m betting on the bullet To pull it apart, with a dark energy And ready to throw him a dart with the artillery And any minute, I caught 'em up in the enemy arms The Brian breaker to take it away, I fanagle and figure the fake of the people that never lovin’ the hip-hop Making the way of the great, I’ma break it up, pavin’ the way for the FRO and the people that loving me spit fire And I ain’t even done with the beat - when I keep my impressive speed With the head of a nigga defeat, when I get up to get a breather Dead ‘em and then I peak when I spit like I'm havin’ a seizure It’s all about format, and contact, with the pencil on the paper Put my loved ones on the map while I go for the gold and the pizzazz But I keep my nature I believe that I’ll get to the top, but I gotta maintain prosperity And these days I see clarity When I pick up the pedal I gotta behead me the beat
