The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (3X)
2
Chorus: repeat 2X
3
Life is a test many quest the universe
4
And through my research I felt the joy and the hurt
5
The first shall be last and the last shall be first
6
The basic instructions before leaving earth
7
Verse One:
8
Knowledge this wisdom this goes back when I was twelve
9
I loved doing right but I was trapped in hell
10
Had mad ideas, sad eyes and tears
11
Years of fears, but yo my foes couldn't bear
12
I searched for the truth since my youth
13
And went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the loot
14
that I was paying, plus the praying
15
I didn't like staying cuz of busy-bodies and dizzy hotties
16
That the preacher had souped up with lies
17
Had me cooped up lookin at loot, butt, and thighs
18
Durin the service, he swallowed up the poor
19
And after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor
20
But I ignored, and explored my history that was untold
21
And watched mysteries unfold
22
And dropped a jewel like Solomon, but never followed men
23
cause if you do your brain is more hollow than
24
Space oblivia, or the abyss
25
With no trace of trivia, left with the hiss
26
Does it pay to be deaf, dumb and blind?
27
From a slave we was kept from the mind
28
And from the caves he crept from behind
29
And what he gave, was the sect of the swine
30
When the bible, it condemned the pig
31
I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your qigs
32
But we used to wear a turban, but now we're in the urban
33
No more wearing beanies and dress like a genie
34
No hocus pocus cause I focus on the facts
35
And put it on the tracks and brought it through the wax
36
I speak on Jacob, it might take up some time
37
And too much knowledge, it might break up the rhyme
38
I did it anyway just to wake up the mind
39
of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet
40
Those who sit home, or sell books by the market
41
Need to chill and get their mind revived
42
For years religion did nothing but divide
43
The basic instructions before leaving earth
44
Chorus
45
Verse Two:
46
I strolled through the books of Job to unfold
47
And open bibles, instead of hoping on revivals
48
Calling on His name and screaming hallelujah
49
when he hardly knew ya, that's how the devil's fooled ya
50
See look into my eyes brethren, that's the lies of a Reverand
51
Why should you die to go to heaven?
52
The Earth is already in space, the bible I embrace
53
A difficult task I had to take
54
I studied till my eyes was swollen, and only arose when
55
I found out that we were the chosen
56
I deal with the truth, and build with the youth
57
And teach my son as he kneels on the stoop
58
Son, life is a pool of sin, corrupted with foolish men
59
and women with wicked minds, who build picket signs
60
to legalize abortion, the evil eye distortion
61
I quiz Son with my wisdom
62
Before I converted, I was perverted, and knowledge was asserted
63
The study of wisdom, I perferred it
64
The understanding, it gave me mental freedom
65
I even learnt Caucasians were really the Tribe of Edam
66
The white image, of Christ, is really Cesare Borgia
67
and uhh, the second son of Pope Alexander
68
The Sixth of Rome, and once the picture was shown
69
That's how the devils tricked my dome
70
I prophesized to save a man, but no one gave a damn
71
for my nation - the seed of Abraham
72
Blessed with the tongue of Hebrew
73
Now we're strung on needles, and some are plungin evils
74
So study and be wise in these days of darkness
75
Peace to my nephew Marcus
76

Chorus: repeat to fade
