"In 1963 a young minister

At Malcolm X's mosque in New York City

A man named Clarence X

Broke with the Nation of Islam

He changed his name to Allah

And took his less astere vision

Of Islam directly to young people in Harlem

He called his new movement:

The Five Percent Nation"

Greatest story never told Clarence Smith

Clarence 13X to the Father Allah let's go

Aiyo February 22nd 1928

Danville Virginia it was still the winter

Clarence Smith he was born a friday

The fifth son of Louis and Mary

After him came Dennis and Harry

Now that's seven six boys one girl

Who ever thought he would change the world

His mother nicknamed him Put and simply put

This was the time during Jim Crow

Where laws dictated where a n***a could go

But the fam didn't care I don't wanna be rude whitey

I don't wanna go where I know they don't like me

In '46 Allah came to Harlem

To join his mother and his older brothers

Once in New York Put became pudding

Yeah the God was smooth

He performed odd jobs

He was an honest dude

Amongst them fruit stand that he ran

In a little hole in the wall this was Harlem ya'll

Developed a love for gambling

Played a lotta pool took fools for they jewels

Then he met Eline wanted to marry

But she was only seventeen

Needed her mother's permission

They still had 2 sons

Even though she was bitching

Allah said "I got something for you"

You don't have don't have the only daughter

Then he married Dora

He had two seeds with her

Clarence and Christine they were hers

And that's just the way it was back in the day

When Allah came up

Just the greatest story never told

Greatest story never told

"Hey hey now what I say"

In 1950 Clarence joined the army

And went to fight in the Korean war

Seeing war it had to effect him

Supporting two families

You had to respect him

While he away Dora became Muslim

N O I Honorable Elijah Muhammed

When Clarence returned he too accepted

By the teacher of Islam he was truly effected

Temple Number 7 Mr Malcolm X

This was the time that Allah met Justice

Clarence became Student Minister over time

He said some things that put him over the line

He said the Black Man's God not just Farrad

Please let's go yell it in the yard

But the Nation said no you gots to go

He took Justice and some brothers and he left the temple

Back to the streets of Harlem

This time to teach black youth not reached by Muslims

Birth of a Nation with far reach and implications

1963 is the shit to me

Cuz that's the year that the God made history

Looked himself and said it ain't no mystery

This the greatest story never told

"Hey hey now what I say"

Allah made Supreme Mathematics Supreme Alphabets

A profound way to break it down

He took it to the poor and the hardcore

Young thugs and niggaz on drugs

First born student by the name of Kareem

Had the power to attract black knowledge seeed

Kareem became Black Messiah

And then he run the first borns by it

It was Kareem Naheem Uhu Kaheem

Al Jabar or Prince Allah

Al Jamel Bilal or Jihad Akbar and Al Salam

They called Allah the father

They were from broken home

And this man was the only father they had known

Allah's Nation of the Five Percenters

Will soon influence the epicenter

Allah got shot and soon after arrested

Before the judge Allah contested

You got it wrong I'm Allah I tell you

The judge said you crazy

And shipped him to Bellevue

This is the greatest story never told

The greatest story never told

"Hey hey now what I say"

Allah got sent to Matter One

First borns carried on

We could live to wait it and got situated

In '67 Allah came home

We had our first problem and see how we had grown

They were thousands of Five Percenters

Allah had to borrow some muslims

They said "I surrender" 21-22 Seventh Avenue

It was a gift from the mayor and we still right there

Sham God designed the flag

We put it on the window of the street acad'

In '68 Dr King was assassinated

Many cities got decimated

That night in Harlem the Gods were out

Helping to keep the peace 85's wanna wild out

The same year Allah prepared

His Five Percent for the day he wouldn't be here

If I die I don't want you cry

If I could I'll reach up and slap you in the eye

Besides if you keep on teaching I'll live forever

But physically no man lives forever

June 12th 1969 indelible in the God's minds

Allah Just took us through the science

Of male and female

But we didn't notice the details

Cuz when he left he got in the cab

But it wasn't in Allah's cab didn't observe that

Shortly after the word came back

That Allah got gunned down

Five Percenters rushed down

To Amlocate Towers hundred 12th street

In the elevators where the God fell G

Many Gods were crying

At least one remembered

What Allah said didn't let a tear shed

We said fareful at community chapel

As to who killed Allah to this day we're baffeled

These funeral posess the firm clear for his cremation

This is the Nation of his creation

This is the greatest story never told

Greatest story never told

"Allah was assassinated in 1969

That case was never solved

His movement survived him

Today it's known as the Nation of Gods & Earths

Or the Five Percenters

Tens of thousands of young black men & women

Follow his teachings among them

Several top performers

Including Busta Rhymes

And members of Wu-Tang Clan"
