[Verse]
U forgot to say please
Knowing very well I brought the game to its knees
Like its bout to be slain, last wishes entertained
Refused to be tamed like the devil in yo brain
I'm coming back like hurricanes in the Pacific
Keep ur rants specific, I'm my own biggest critic
Immune to these gimmicks, roam like a free spirit
But prepared when they finally pull the dagger out and stick it
Imma live on when im buried alive
Make it out coz ill have the struggle burning inside
Knock my clone with the tombstone, yelling surprise
Then publicize their crimes before they hire a sharp shooter
To gun me down and never be found
A death like Pac has been goals from the start
Revolution lives on in millions of other hearts
Married to the game till death do us part
[Hook]
Failure is outta question
Defeat we never concede
Feelin like the only exception
Ur support is all a brother needs
[Verse]
Coz ill bounce ten times if I fall down nine
Brush the dirt off my shoulder, I'm doing just fine
Wanna change my pen game, feelin threatened when I rhyme?
Record labels keep distance fore I lose my mind
And shatter Interscope down with these lyrical ballistics
Makin rappers on their payroll seem autistic
Ill be blacklisted from the grammys, consumin everything in my path like a raging tsunami
Check it, Death by design
You can hear em scream out one last time
Knock em out without tryin with a single punchline
Agility undefined movin faster than time defying string theory
Ill achieve glory in every story
Commandante but I still keep it lowkey
But Ill live on in millions of hearts
Married to the truth till death do us part
[Chorus]
Failure is outta question
Defeat we never concede
Feelin like the only exception
Ur support is all a brother needs

Lyrics:
[Intro: Da Killa KC]
Ya
Killa
[Verse 1: Da Killa KC]
Ya, a murderous mindstate with the heart of a fighter
The consequence of burnin' bridges when I start up a fire
Can only get worse if I disperse all the parts I inquire
Instead of bettering my expression using my art to inspire, ya
This life does not provide a guide, there's nearly no directions
Try to read the signs and leave behind that scary road you're headin'
We're given plenty chances at our very own discretion
We the people gotta do better, we're making severely low progression
With feelin' no intentions, how we ever s'posed to fix it?
On the wrong path we draw back if we don't hope to switch it
I'm livin' through a Pac's vision, that's a bold decision
Since a little kid I've set it a goal to make it a known existence
I know to most it's unrealistic and impractical
Despite you not believing in my strategics Ima rap the truth
I'm 'bout that action with these calculated tacticals
I strive at movin' forward, I'm just hoping it makes it back to you
(Verse: IQBAL)
I was born heartless with the soul of a wolf
Left to die in a blizzard, had to. fight to survive
They tell my stories of glory to their kids like a lori
Immortal folktale legend, saints claim to have known me
They wonder why IQBAL stays rogue throughout
Seeking redemption carried me beyond the shadow of doubt
We figure out much more as we search for an answer
My journey's more relevant than Herman Hesse's Siddharta
2Pac's vision, Im that Man on a Mission
Put in position by those risen from this physical prison
So listen to the distant truth in the form of a rhythm
Hidden as im hitting with a supernatural precision
Im what they can never conquer, Maximus in the flesh
This is just a fraction of the traction that Ill gain after death
So gather up against IQBAL and Ill certainly
Power thru all your weak ass forces like Hercules
Im a beast

(Sunny Khan Durrani)
Chalay they qoam ban ke bat gae saare Hisson me
Murda zameer yahan zinda saarey qisson me
Qiston me Moat dega jisko bhi vote dedo
Khareed lo eeman yahan chaar paan h note dedo
Bolay log zinda qoam aur sakaafat
Bolta ni me bas ye meri sharafaat
Hifaazat karain mazhab ki jinse sambhalti patloon na
Aur naap ke me loon nishaanay mujhe bhi sakoon na
Kuch fahaash Ganay aur kehte music haraam hai
Gar aesi baat hai to kuch madrasson me bachon ki izzat nelaam hai
Kyun na ham saray madrassay band karaadain
Kya khayaal hai?
Jis din ka banaaya fatwa jaari
Mujhe mazhab ke thakaydaaron ki calls aaraen
Kehte Mazhab hamaara hai
Bol jo ni sakta mazhab aur kya chaara hai
Deen ko banake phanda pargaya hai gallay
In ke leader bhi wo log jo khud hi hain Dallay
Peeth pe ye Kuttay bhonkay mun pe karte baat nai
Garh dun me bin Raza ke Qadir ho ya Qaadri
Ab kardo Fatwa Jaari
(IQBAL)
Coast to coast, let the truth be known
Before they try to make propaganda out of this song
Searching for redemption, outlawed walking alone
We'll pass away but our words will be written in stone
The golden age is gone but never forgotten
Honing my craft on a page still keeps me from hitting rock bottom
My rotten mindset can never be cashed on
Im more eager than the EIC searching for Saffron
Blast off on these parasites with a mask on
Zero mass appeal coz the content is mad strong and hazardous
Plan the attack precisely as I toss these cats across the sand like Cambyses
See theyll never welcome me with open arms
Im a product of Martin Luther with hints of Genghis Khan
IQBAL, Im not your average pawn that easily subjects
My voice crosses borders despite the price on my head
So ring the alarm, theyll track me like Im linked to Saddam
Red Dawn, the sequel, but my people remain calm
Searching purely for justice, protected solely by the truth
Calculating my success in terms of falsehood I uproot
Coast to coast, let the truth be known
Before they try to make propaganda out of this song
Searching for redemption, outlawed walking alone
We'll pass away but our words will be written in stone
(Outro - Mumia Abu Jamal)

(I will not be a party to the legalisation of aggression)
How can one claim progress
Where there's no check and balance or freedom of press
How can one claim justice
Where you're denied the right to peaceful protest
Stripped off by the elite who coalesced to keep us trapped inside this vortex
As they sucked all power from our votes
No choice left so I bring it out to the roads
They be holdin me in draconian courts coz I'm pushing an agenda
Gaining support, of the masses thru rap, conceiving tactics as we march upon wall street as it crashes
Part time seizin factories, writin on beats and hunting fascists
Feel free to send me to the gallows if im ever caught secretly living lavish
Inspired by the art like Aristotle im takin rhetoric to another level
Fire in my heart will never settle despite stackin all those high school medals
Adolescence spent wrestlin with the devil
Went with the flow like an empty vessel
Know im on the right path if theyre hurling pebbles
Sairun, Baaghi, Mutamarid
Chorus:
I don't really care for this gun against my head
I'd rather be killed than live like I am already dead
Fixed Archetypals
We're all trapped in the same cycle
But i can't be stifled, Rightful socrates disciple
Theyre gonna put me on a show trial or make me blow my brains out with a rifle like Kurt, who couldn't cope with the pain
My rhymes servin as my final note to the game
But I express myself with the pen regardless
Keep my grip tight, wagin war with darkness
See they quote me outta context, it isnt fair, let the truth prevail
A rebel on a mission holds no fear, like Snowden, Assange and Mumia
Might sacrifice what I used to hold dear but thru the pain the dream stays clear as I keep hold of my senses, disregarding most consequences
Launching decisive offencives, hiphops sharpest apprentice
See I keep moving forward when they test my patience
Im settin up the premise for a conscious nation
Takin the movement to another level
Sairun, Baaghi, Mutamarid, Rebel
Chorus:
I don't really care for this gun against my head
I'd rather be killed than live like I am already dead
