[00:21.36]I once asked God to forgive for my sins
[00:23.85]Bent on my knees pleadin to be heavenly cleansed
[00:26.37]Said the Holy Ghost changed the ways and actions of men
[00:29.04]When I stood, I felt the same as if I just walked in
[00:31.77]I was twelve at the time, held nines, held mines
[00:34.65]A frail mind, criminal thoughts well-designed
[00:37.17]Then the Older Gods put me on, on how to rock this
[00:40.08]Maintain, 360, lord and live prosperous
[00:42.93]His jewel was priceless, keep the cypher righteous
[00:45.36]Bare in mind, God, some of your own won't like this
[00:48.00]I'm mentally scarred, recooperatin from abrasure
[00:50.52]Fooled by interpretations made from a traitor
[00:53.64]It's in my nature, I was taught, that's the first law
[00:56.04]Obtain the food, clothin and the shelter that I search for
[00:58.50]The fire in my eyes is hot as Earth's core
[01:00.93]What hurts more, the fact that we still dirt poor
[01:03.87]In hard times force crimes out of honest man
[01:06.66]And most fiend to see the so-called promised land
[01:09.42]Sun of Man, knowledge, wisdom and understand
[01:11.85]that it's time to take matters in our own hands
[01:14.31][Chorus]
[01:29.97][Inspectah Deck]
[01:36.03]The wicked ways of the world can't escape sin
[01:38.73]I'm facin masses gun on the plantation
[01:41.37]Seen source from home yet I'm still caved in
[01:43.92]Cuz 9000 miles is such a long way to swim
[01:46.74]and many die tryin to survive the next mile
[01:49.41]Famillies was raised as slaves and exiled
[01:52.05]I learned it as a child, knowledge be the key
[01:54.60]to unlock your brain and set your mindstate free
[01:57.27]It's true, the times come through, chose the few
[01:59.79]Show and prove, the power of God's in you
[02:02.49]or remain a savage in pursuit of happiness
[02:05.31]Who lacks jewels, love and peace completes the package
[02:08.04]The fact is five out a hundred know the truth
[02:10.65]The wisdom might blow the roof when shown and proved
[02:13.14][Chorus]
[02:31.29][Inspectah Deck]
[02:34.53]Through the course of time, we was dumb, deaf and blind
[02:37.47]Now we on the incline, build with one mind
[02:40.11]Came a long way, but, yo, we still far behind
[02:42.72]So, uplift the mind, God, rise and shine
[02:45.39]I speak to the black-bellied yellow seeds
[02:47.88]My fellow breed all races, colors and creeds
[02:50.73]Search for the knowledge, use science and math
[02:53.31]and be queens and kings like the centuries past
[02:56.01]The devil tried to fool my people, said we was equal
[02:58.71]But I believe him when my culture sees freedom
[03:01.38]You beat 'em with the positive thoughts, you don't need em
[03:04.11]Leave him in the dirt, let the blood suckers see him
[03:06.69][Chorus to fade]
