Like my man Muhammad from Afghanistan:
Grew up in Iran, the nigga runs a neighborhood newsstand.

Allah Be a Born, Cee Divine, Equality,
Father, then after that, there’s the G-O-D.
He or Her, I Islam, then Justice,
King of Kingdom, Love, Hell or Right, we still exist.

Universe, Victory, Wisdom, Unknown,
Why, Zig Zag Zig…and now we’re back home.GZA, “Alphabets,” Pro Tools, 2008
