Brother Ali - Pedigree Lyrics
[Chorus: x2]
One behind the next in line
It's inspection time let me check your design
Your pedigree don't hold up next to mine
I'm a thouroughbred of the most excellent kind
[Verse 1:]
Brother Ali and who's asking
The text book definition of brute passion
The future, the past, a true champion is born
never made and that's a label you can't pretend
I think better outside of the box
I rhyme better outside of the booth
There's no hiding the truth, I'm the genuine positive proof
I buck shots through the roof set the hostages loose, shoo
One might got to give real a minute
Bleak grimacing winters led him to seek vengeance
With every bit the mistique of a street menace
Self appointed judge with power vested
to hand down sentances from bus stop benches
He's relentless with his it's just in his spirit
You don't want to read about it fool you want to feel it
Shit happens but I'm calm in a shit storm
Its just normal, what you think I balled up a fist for?
They probably thought I was born yesterday right
Well mother fucker I stayed up all night
Hit me hard like huh
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 2:]
Oh the flow gon' cold cock you
You a born bitch local showboating imposter
I'm a known credited stone ghetto philosopher
I think very deeply, I aspire to be free
Read through these credentials of mine
I'm exquisite and only get better with time
And not yet in my prime
I age like wine and got a good goddamn head at the end of my spine
Plus I live outside of those confines
Meaning my expression is yet to be defined
Ya'll will never try putting ribbons in the sky
you would hit your head on that rooty-poot box you live inside
What you gon' do when the well runs dry
Human beings grown images just get old
So when we get old you gon' be out in the cold
and I'ma still keep chasing what I'm owed
[Chorus x2]
[Hook:]
Take a breath to check the Pedigree
Check the Pedigree
To check the Pedigree...

Brother Ali Pedigree Comments
Brother Ali is a legend!
I shoot holes through the roof set the hostages loose!
kno the nice
God bless Brother!
This beat is amazing! anyone know who produced this funky masterpiece?
Jon Danger probably Ant from atmosphere
correct! Ant produced this beat. He really nailed this one.
One tough sounding dude
Under rated mc
@William Clark SO true.... But than again, only the few know what's really good.
"I think very deeply."
Fuck coulor, Fuck Religion, iTs all about souL!
..HiP H0P..
i've listened to it 1000 times over, jealous
It's in one of Brother Ali's songs.
none of that is English, but I sort of agree.
hey guys, i just discovered this song and had the pleasure of experiencing my first listen to it. . . jealous? hahaha
chorus almost sounds like slug
How is Aesop Rock not on that list? Sure its hard to follow his flow for beginners but that man weaves music together like none other. What he lacks in dopeness he makes up in originality
alright, im just as anti racist as the next person but come on, thats ridiculous. i think factually denying race isn't conducive to ending prejudice
he doesn't believe in race so I'm sure he wasn't to afraid
Aww, what the fuck! He was in La Jolla? I live in SD :(
u brother ali is one bad mo fo
hells yeah
guy is great and hats off for the whitest white guy to enter a black music scene takes balls.
Vanilla Ice? Snow? Marky Mark?
Yeah not all white MC's are great.
enough about his race...did anyone else notice the insert from KRS - Philosophy at 2:16? or am i the only one that picked this up? Ali you have quite the musical genius.
Way more then that. Just to name a few, Sage Francis, Atmosphere, El-P, Augustus ThElefant, Adeem from Glue, Despot. Not like that Yelawolf bitch who got popular cause he knows Eminem.
Why do you listen to a rapper if you don't like his rapping or voice? LOL!!
That's right!!! Music is a God given talent and was created by God for 2 main purposes 1) For believers to praise God.
2) To uplift the human soul.
So when people use music to disrespect and just to make money they are abusing their God given gift (those who actually have talent that is lol).
Be blessed then stay blessed, much love ;-)
I get wat ya sayin' homie dewd.
ethan brought me here
I love every single song on this album i cant say that about any other rappers stuff, yet because there is still the rest the of the Rhymesayers crew. Riiiiight.
When my lows hit on the bus and I can't seem to pick myself off the floor again, this song gets me off the ground. Love Brother Ali see you in La Jolla!
@hamismymeat ... No im sayng they usually have deeper meaning, tell better stories, thats all.
1:43, is that from El-P "up all night"?
@YouBetYA it was in the funky munkey, marnixstraat..theyve had great kush and excellent music :)
@Chrischi1993 i was just there as well. what coffee shop was it at?
heard this in a coffeeshop in amsterdam and asked for the title...this great
im sorry but every song of his i listen to is good until he starts rapping
@karyyym By the way you speak/type im guessing your still in kindergarten?? x
@karyyym
are you sayin if you havent struggles you cant spit??? not bein offene im bein serious i wanna know.
@PolemicArts youre annoying
@karyyym lol ur language is funny
@karyyym you're totally right but next time type normal. the internet isn't the ghetto :p
Kill em bruh!!!!!!!!!!!!! Word up!
Lex Norwood
Reading all the other comments it seems to be beside the point, but this is excellent.
you seriously couldn't add one more thing to brother ali to make him cooler
@Blaqueflame So basically you just contradicted yourself . I speak english. I think a biologist would disagree with you.
@healedbygod Race is not a made up thing. Who the fuck told you that?
@FiresforFires it makes sense if you're him, if you were to ask him what it meant you would understand.
@thedizzit Aesop Rock, MC Abdominal, Brother Ali and MC Front-a-lot are all white and they're amazing. I can see where Eminem fits into the picture, though..
@chiefbowlpacker Del is hot, don't get me wrong, but that's no reason to push off Ali as something lesser. Brother Ali has it going on. Could you imagine Hieroglyphics featuring Brother Ali?
@FiresforFires Brother Ali is a lot like Aesop Rock. It takes time but after lyrical analysis it all comes together.
@DukeMontana sorry to say, but yes it is rap. I'm so sick of everybody hating on other types of rap. Just because you don't like lil wayne or kanye doesn't mean that the music is shit. They didn't get to where they are by making shitty music. Not saying I like lil wayne or Kanye, but I respect them as artists.
On a different note, Brother Ali is such a freaking beast, its ridiculous that one person can be so talented!!
someones retarded not all white rappers are good
OHMYGOD!!!! YOU GUYS KNOW WHO APATHY IS TOO?!?!?
I've never found anyone who knows him outside of the videos on youtube.
Apathy is my favorite rapper ever. Followed though by Brother Ali.... And, public enemy.
there's also many crappy ones. just like there is with black emcees.. i reeeeeally doubt that its the colour that matters.
DZK?
Mike Shinoda?
Apathy?
Vinnie Paz?
Sabac Red?
Eminem?
You can throw Esoteric, Apathy, The Grouch, R.A. The Rugged Man and Aesop Rock on that list too.
is it just me or do all white MC's seem to be the shit?
broother ali?
slug?
common market?
ETC.
FUCKIN AMAZING
ali is the shit.\
just cuz he is white does not meen he cant rip some tight ass shit.
Who gives a shit about race/religion/albino/etc when your music is this fucking good...
he's neither...race is a made up thing
white albino
i thought he was black albino...but it doesnt matter he still dope
Nice sound!
