[ VERSE 1: The E ]
2
As I sit back and think about our problems
3
What's goin on and how we gonna solve em
4
Black man sellin us out to the other color
5
But try to keep it undercover
6
I understand all that cause it's a money thing
7
But if that's the case, then let money bring
8
Peace and joy to the ones that need a new start
9
And let the greed depart
10
When I ask how you're livin you shout it out
11
Now it's time to get together and talk about
12
It doesn't matter about your color, let's take a stand
13
Comin out the mouth of a black man
14
You say we should unite and be as one
15
And then you see me on the rise and grab a shotgun
16
A lotta nerve you show as you stand stiff
17
But my knowledge is the gift
18
[ VERSE 2: The E ]
19
I bring a lotta thought to what's happenin
20
The new jack swing's in effect and I'm rappin
21
I wanna talk to your eardrums straight up
22
And give your mind a little time to wake up
23
Who says we have to be the lesser one?
24
Put your best foot forward and be the better one
25
Open up your eyes to a new sight
26
And if you do it for yourself you know it's done right
27
If you're black, yo, they figure you want a hand-out
28
Then they question your mind because you stand out
29
If you speak for your piece then you're militant
30
That's the way that we're taught by our government
31
I don't wanna hear that, save it for the next man
32
I got a mind of my own and I don't give a damn
33
Yo, a lotta nerve you show as you stand stiff
34
But my knowledge is the gift
35
[ VERSE 3: The E ]
36
Now it's time to decide how we wanna live
37
If we all stand together something's gotta give
38
A lotta times we're the reason for the negative thoughts
39
They come across, so the battle's lost
40
Put your pride in your pocket if you're selfish
41
My temperature's runnin hot so I'ma melt this
42
When I say down with Jack I mean Ant Jack
43
Some brothers say I ain't down because I know jack
44
Knowledge is the gift that I'm teachin
45
And the highest plateau's where I'm reachin
46
Forget the stereotype and world hype
47
That says you have to be white in order to do right
48
Why don't we all just unite and take a stand?
49
Comin out the mouth of a black man
50
A lotta nerve you show as you stand stiff
51
But my knowledge is the gift
