What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
People of the world wherever you be
2
Welcome to Cosmic University.
3
Where life is the journey and love is the trip
4
And the study of them will make you hip.
5
I'm professor of the rap and when I speak
6
I guarantee that my lines will not be weak.
7
They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste
8
That's why I'm here and on the case.
9
Rapping up every mind with a special degree in socio-psycholo G.B.E.
10
The Gary Byrd Experience is my course
11
When you take my class you will feel the force.
12
'Cause I know the roots that the rap is from
13
When I speak to you I am not dumb.
14
Hear my rap and begin to dance
15
And I promise you this you will advance.
16
You may have seen the Raiders of the Lost Ark
17
But you still left the theater in the dark
18
So clap your hands to the beat as the Wonder sound
19
And the G.B.E. shine on the Crown.
20
You wear the Crown
21
I wear the Crown
22
So proud to say that we all wear the Crown
23
The Crown.
24
I do recall so very well
25
When I was just a little boy
26
I used to hurry home from school
27
I used to always feel so blue
28
Because there was no mention in the books
29
We read about my heritage.
30
So therefore any information that I got was education.
31
Bums
32
Hobos at depot stations
33
I would listen with much patience
34
Or to relatives who told the tales that they were told to pass ahead.
35
And then one day from someone old
36
I heard a story never told
37
Of all the kingdoms of my people
38
And then how we fought for freedom
39
All about the many things we have unto the world contributed.
40
You wear the crown. - We wear the crown - we wear the Crown.
41
It's not Star Wars
42
It's not Superman
43
It's not the story of the Ku-Klux-Klan.
44
The crown will appear in the G.B.E.
45
But it's never seen on your T.V.
46
It's in black and white in your gold mind
47
A picture so old it defies time.
48
Alex Haley drew it in his book
49
It's what Kunta kept in his other foot.
50
Ghana Songhay and old Mali
51
They are the roots of your own family tree.
52
Kingdom so vast and knowledge wise
53
They removed cataracts from human eyes.
54
And yet today some refuse to see
55
And live in fear of their discovery.
56
Now in fourteen hundred and ninety-two Columbus sailed to ocean - true.
57
But years before in Alkebu a ship set sail with a chocolate crew.
58
2000 years before Columbo came
59
The Olmecs paid tribute to their fame.
60
Stone heads with faces eight feet high
61
That the Hulk could not lift to his thig
62
Though the facts historians avoid
63
First to arrive was the Africoid.
64
It may shock the House and Shockley
65
Too
66
And if you're not prepared it may shock you
67
While some had doubts that the world was round.
68
In America guess who wore the Crown.
69
I wear the Crown
70
You wear the Crown
71
So proud to say that we all wear the Crown
72
Get down.
73
You wear the Crown
74
I wear the Crown
75
So proud to say that we all wear the Crown
76
The Crown.
