[Inspectah Deck]
11
I once asked God to forgive for my sins
12
Bent on my knees pleadin to be heavenly cleansed
13
Said the Holy Ghost changed the ways and actions of men
14
When I stood, I felt the same as if I just walked in
15
I was twelve at the time, held nines, held mines
16
A frail mind, criminal thoughts well-designed
17
Then the Older Gods put me on, on how to rock this
18
Maintain, 360, lord and live prosperous
19
His jewel was priceless, keep the cypher righteous
20
Bare in mind, God, some of your own won't like this
21
I'm mentally scarred, recooperatin from abrasure
22
Fooled by interpretations made from a traitor
23
It's in my nature, I was taught, that's the first law
24
Obtain the food, clothin and the shelter that I search for
25
The fire in my eyes is hot as Earth's core
26
What hurts more, the fact that we still dirt poor
27
In hard times force crimes out of honest man
28
And most fiend to see the so-called promised land
29
Sun of Man, knowledge, wisdom and understand
30
that it's time to take matters in our own hands
31
[Chorus]
32
[Inspectah Deck]
33
The wicked ways of the world can't escape sin
34
I'm facin masses gun on the plantation
35
Seen source from home yet I'm still caved in
36
Cuz 9000 miles is such a long way to swim
37
and many die tryin to survive the next mile
38
Famillies was raised as slaves and exiled
39
I learned it as a child, knowledge be the key
40
to unlock your brain and set your mindstate free
41
It's true, the times come through, chose the few
42
Show and prove, the power of God's in you
43
or remain a savage in pursuit of happiness
44
Who lacks jewels, love and peace completes the package
45
The fact is five out a hundred know the truth
46
The wisdom might blow the roof when shown and proved
47
[Chorus]
48
[Inspectah Deck]
49
Through the course of time, we was dumb, deaf and blind
50
Now we on the incline, build with one mind
51
Came a long way, but, yo, we still far behind
52
So, uplift the mind, God, rise and shine
53
I speak to the black-bellied yellow seeds
54
My fellow breed all races, colors and creeds
55
Search for the knowledge, use science and math
56
and be queens and kings like the centuries past
57
The devil tried to fool my people, said we was equal
58
But I believe him when my culture sees freedom
59
You beat 'em with the positive thoughts, you don't need em
60
Leave him in the dirt, let the blood suckers see him
61
[Chorus to fade]
