NAS - I Can
Be, be-fore we came to this country
We were kings and queens, never porch monkeys
There was empires in Africa called Kush
Timbuktu, where every race came to get books
The Marathon Closing Store
“That's why I called my thing The Marathon
Because I, I'm not gon' lie and portray, um, this ultimate poise
Like I been had it figured out
Nah, I just didn't quit
That's the only distinguishing quality
From me and probably whoever else is goin' through this
Or went through this, or is gonna go through this
Is that I ain't quit”

Lauryn Hill - Everything Is Everything
Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti (Ooh, uh)Serengeti
MCs ain't ready to take it to the Serengeti
My rhymes is heavy like the mind of sister Betty (EL Shabazz!)

Jay-Z & Jay Electronica - We Made It
Face all on the Sphinx,
Story all in the wall of the pyramids,
Know the Black God saved me,
You can blow the nose off, that won't change it
Rick Ross & Jay-Z - Free Mason
Big contracts, big contractors
Built pyramids, period, we masters
A lot of great thinkers and a lot of great inventors
Jay-Z & Kanye West - No Church in the Wild
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a god?
What's a god to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright, no church in the wild
Lupe Fiasco - Unforgivable Youth
Assumed they had clean energy, but took to no enemies.
Very honest leaders with overwhelming sympathies.
Religions kinda complex. Kinda hard to figure out.
And this must be the temple.
This White. House
Lil Wayne - Interlude
It’s the pharaoh, Three Stacks
I woke up in Cairo, lookin’ at stars
So bright in the sky, I thought they were marbles
No car doors, whatcha call those?
Jay-Z - Heaven
Question religion, question it all
Question existence until them questions are solved
Meanwhile this heretic, I be out in Marrakesh
Morocco smoking hashish with my fellowship

HiiiPower on another plateau

The brand new ni**as with a attitude
Poppin' in Compton or Timbuktu

Mash it up-a in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)!

Ja Rule - Wonderful
Closest to the arches but live in a fortress
New benzes new porsches
New cases new lawyers
I'm becoming the infamous notorious rule
N.O.R.E. - Finito
Alien, out of this world, I must have want more
Pyramids, Egypt-style, look like the Luxor
Dashiki wrapped on my face, though, I say so
Go anywhere the weight go for peso
Joey Bada$$
Unstoppable if it's divinely guided
I'm like Mahatma Gandhi meets Muhammad Ali
Trapped in a rapper's body
Another old soul, in every lifetime you find me
