"Uprising surprising"
3
"Knowledge wisdom understanding"
4
[Afu-Ra]
5
Smooth like Johnny Cochran, I keep it movin through Brooklyn
6
Base against the hymn, brings the sweat to the skin
7
Reminisce of the days as a shorty
8
Had no stress, no bills, was comin for me
9
I lived it up, yeah, money ain't a thing
10
Never thought twice on what my future bring
11
Role models, naw I thought nothing of it
12
Eyes fixed on skies and planes fly high above it
13
Summer's comin, September's middle school
14
Mom Dukes mad strict, she'll never raise a fool
15
I'm comin up, clean the dirty from the ghetto
16
So we can plant some seeds and watch them grow
17
[Chorus]
18
Right, knowledge wisdom understanding rules, right
19
Everybody got to pay the dues, right
20
Knowledge, wisdom understanding rules
21
Everybody got to pay the dues
22
[Afu-Ra]
23
Tripped up by bad luck, 16 years and buck
24
I realized the world might end, not givin up
25
Stickin up, runnin up, comin up
26
Turn it up, I see signs of blowin up
27
Study life in every facet of my trainin
28
We need masters in biology, zoology
29
To overtake, Illuminati trick-nology
30
Transform, reciprocate your mental state
31
Now make a date to overtake your objective
32
Show that through light, that everything is connected
33
But not in categories, that's the Devil's story
34
Symbols of cannibalism, ruin your vision
35
The thoughts formulate in your mind with no precision
36
So reenact, a rebirth, now you're the Phoenix
37
When shorties see it, now that's the time they believe it
38
Achieve it, your goals in life, don't be a casualty
39
Infinite and intricate, monument
40
"Knowledge wisdom understanding"
41
[Chorus]
42
[Afu-Ra]
43
Right, knowledge wisdom understanding, rules
44
"Uprising, surprising"
45
[Afu-Ra]
46
I know the next millennium seems like it's cursed
47
That's why I have to rehearse
48
Tune my physical, mental spits the lyrical
49
It's so essential, transcends thoughts I'm into
50
As we continue, touch rhyme styles I'm into
51
All grown up, Junior High to 25
52
A made man, tight connection with my brothers
53
Bridgin gaps, dodgin traps with my raps
54
Signs you're followin, shed more light
55
Then a halogen, take a step back, now who you followin?
56
[Chorus 2X]
57
[Hook 4X]
