What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The day begins with a grin
2
And a prayer to excuse my sins
3
I can walk anywhere I choose
4
'Cause everybody listens to the B.D.P. crew
5
6
We're not here for glamor or fashion
7
But here's the question I'm askin'
8
Why is it young black kids taught black?
9
They're only taught how to read, write and act
10
11
It's like teachin' a dog to be a cat
12
You don't teach white kids to be black
13
Why is that? Is it because we're the minority?
14
Well, black kids follow me
15
16
Genesis chapter eleven verse ten
17
Explains the genealogy of Shem
18
Chem was a black man in Africa
19
If you repeat this fact they can't laugh at ya
20
21
Genesis fourteen verse thirteen
22
Abraham steps on the scene
23
Being a descendant of Shem which is a fact
24
Means, Abraham too was black
25
26
Abraham born in the city of a black man
27
Called Nimrod, grandson of Kam
28
Kam had four sons, one was named Canaan
29
Here, let me do some explaining
30
31
Abraham was the father of Isaac
32
Isaac was the father of Jacob
33
Jacob had twelve sons for real
34
And these were the children of Israel
35
36
According to Genesis chapter ten
37
Egyptians descended from Ham
38
Six hundred years later my brother read up
39
Moses was born in Egypt
40
41
In this era black Egyptians weren't right
42
They enslaved black Israelites
43
Moses had to be of the black race
44
Because he spent forty years in Pharaoh's place
45
46
He passed as the Pharaoh's grandson
47
So he had to look just like him
48
Yes, my brothers and sisters take this here song
49
Yo, correct the wrong
50
51
The information we get today is just wack
52
But ask yourself, why is that?
53
54
The age of the ignorant rapper is done
55
Knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone
56
The stereotype must be lost
57
That love and peace and knowledge is soft
58
59
Do away with that and understand one fact
60
For love, peace must attack
61
And attack real strong, stronger than war
62
To conquer it and its law
63
64
Mental pictures, stereotypes and fake history
65
Reinforces mystery
66
And when mystery is reinforced
67
That only means that knowledge has been lost
68
69
When you know who you really are
70
Peace and knowledge shines like a star
71
I've only shown you a simple fact
72
It takes a nation of millions to hold us people back
73
74
Which is wack but we can correct that
75
Teach and learn what it is to be black
76
'Cause they're teachin' birds to be a cat
77
But ask yourself homeboy, why is that?
