The Prophet - Jeru The Damaja

«Ayo Prophet, yo Phophet, we need your help

on fighting for the TVs and the radio

Everywhere you look, it’s Envy, Hatred, Greed, Jealousy

You can’t move, the city is suffocating

You have to help us, help us, please»

Shorty said she need a solder, so I’m back no doubt

Last time I had to scrap with Ignorance, he damn near took me out

See I can’t do it myself so I allow myself with Patience

Cat that I rolled with in the past turn out to be double agents

Thought I killed this dude before, he had a million clones of Hatred

And he keep trying to stop me like the guys in The Matrix

I’m fighting for my life when I realize that I’m fucked

In the mist of the firefight, my weapon jams up

I don’t move as quick as I used to, so I almost get stuck

And when I tried to escape, I catch a slug in my gut

Despair laughing at me talking 'bout «we got you, nigga»

There’s an explosion, I’m scooped up by a mysterious figure

We flew off in a helicopter

Not a ghetto bird, but a military black hawk chopper

I wonder who would help me, it ain’t make no sense

It wasn’t Pride, 'cause he has a goal, he start working with Arrogance

«Who are you, why’d you save me, what’s this all about?»

I’m barely hanging on, I’m nearly passing out

Then the voice said «don't worry love, you’re safe with us»

It was this chick named Seduction from this clique called Lust

After that, I feel a sharp pain in my back

They hit me with a sedative and everything went black

«Madam Seduction, you have to come and see this

I’ve never seen anything like this before in all my years of practice in

medicine

This graph reference is the brain activity normal-vested human being

This is The Prophet’s current brain activity

It seems he placed himself in some sort of a self-induced coma, allowing him to

heal three times as fast as a normal human being

Moves like this, he should be out for a week

While His vital signs is stabilizing

I think he’s coming, too»

I woke up a few days later in a hospital bed

Kinda dizzy from the drugs, bandages on my head

The wound on my stomach had been cauterized closed

Snatched the IV out my arm, «where the fuck are my clothes?»

A nurse named Essence runs in, said that I should relax

If I waited a few moments, Seduction would be back

She came in and said that she want to make me an offer

Something about the way she spoke, I couldn’t keep my eyes off her

Then I started feeling woozy so I sat my ass down

She said Ignorance days is numbered, Lust is taking over town

I did not understand the motive of the seductress

'Cause I remembered when she murdered Truth and Justice

Now here’s where the situation gets complex

If I take Ignorance down, would The Prophet be next?

I remember the words of Wisdom, so I answered with note

Then she informs me that I’m poisoned and she has the antidote

I flew into a rage and started flipping shit over

Seduction held her ground, keeping her composure

She said «you're wasting time fucking with me

You had 24 hours, now you have 23»

«Hello Seduction.

Did The Prophet take the bait?

Oh he did, did he?

For your sake, I hope he shows up on time

Because if he doesn’t, your sister will make a lovely addition to my harem

Ahahahahahahahahaha

Ahahaha»

They gave me hi-tec weaponary and all the pertinent information

Maps, floor plans, and Ignorance location

He changed up the game since our first confrontation

He used to play the library, but now it’s the TV station

My 7th sense told me I was in grave danger

So I hit my man Courage on his two-way pager

I hope he gets the message if you know what I mean

'Cause I’m down to our 18

I cut through the lock with the laser beam

I took out Anger and Fear, some of the meanest guys on Ignorance team

I make it to the next locked door as I start to cut

All the lights come on, another motherfucking set up

My finger’s on the trigger, but before I could bust

I’m disarmed by Seduction and surrounded by Lust

A bunch of female assassins with asses fatter than strippers

I hear a buzzing noise, and they had them clippers

My chest tightens up, I fall down

The clippers hit my head, my dreads hit the ground

Seduction comes over, looks me in the face, and gives me a kiss

I’m thinking «it can’t end like this»

The saga continues
