Annakin Slayd Destiny (feat. Inspectah Deck & Sticky Fingaz)
Verse 1: Inspectah Deck
Your Highness, his excellence, feel the significance
Reminder of the magnificence, so intricate
Check the resilience, the brilliance
Rec specialist from Genesis to Exodus
Me making it here not by accident; stacks were spent
Backs were bent, I lagged on my rent
Remember when the mass wasn't rockin' my shit
But I had to play the game, came out my pocket and shit
And I ain't never had a real popular hit
They like “aw he dropping knowledge, been conscious and shit”
It's all for the better and I never lost track
Cuz after the fall I had to get it all back, that's fact
So I charged more tax and upgraded the quality
Guaranteed freshness, I stood by my policy
Now plan to rehearse, I'm a man first
Rappin' just happened to keep the lights on
Chorus: Annakin
You can't control my fate
Cause it's my destiny
And whatever's thrown my way
Yeah, I will take it, I will face it
You can't control my fate
Cause it's my destiny
And whatever's thrown my way
Yeah, I will take it, I will face it
Verse 2: Annakin Slayd
You know me by the circle with the red eye
Anni, Defying destiny and fate that seem strictly defined
Like Jabba, I can handle all these weak tricks of your mind
Nothing can convince me destinations are written design
Impact's not just from the fact that I'm kickin' these lines
It's from the way my words create painted pictures from rhymes
These three-dimensional impressions won't fizzle with time
They'll perpetuate and resonate till we crawl out of this slime
Progressive messages are bringing this vision to blind
I thought I had the touch, the power, like Optimus Prime
Ten years later we still animals rocking the cage
Cause young black men are still dying and the block is enraged
Tried to keep us quiet but like Picard we're engaged
Defiance in the form of INS, Onyx and Slayd
My Pen's like Robert Plant when it rocks with the Page
And I wont do what they tell me like La Rocha and Rage
Chorus: Annakin
You can't control my fate
Cause it's my destiny
And whatever's thrown my way
Yeah, I will take it, I will face it
You can't control my fate
Cause it's my destiny
And whatever's thrown my way
Yeah, I will take it, I will face it
Verse 3: Sticky Fingaz
Only thing you destined to become is what you decide to be
They lied to me, my vision is inside of me
And bribery, I get you, know what, try me b
And time will see who these niggas tryin' to be
You wanna hear God laugh? tell Him what you got planned
Deciding my hands, you sure you should be making demands?
And at the Karma Cafe, they serve what you deserve
So be careful what you speak, you might have to eat your words
And if It was written up the stars?
And everything is fate, then why we even living at all?
Gimme the phone. Where God? Give him a call
(Shit, nobody never gonna answer)
Cuz life is like a blank paper, it's all that it is
And you can have every single color that exists
You can draw everything you want or don't draw shit
It's your life, you live it however you wish
Chorus: Annakin
You can't control my fate
Cause it's my destiny
And whatever's thrown my way
Yeah, I will take it, I will face it
You can't control my fate
Cause it's my destiny
And whatever's thrown my way
Yeah, I will take it, I will face it
You can't control my fate
Cause it's my destiny
And whatever's thrown my way
Yeah, I will take it, I will face it
You can't control my fate
Cause it's my destiny
And whatever's thrown my way
Yeah, I will take it, I will face it
