Verse One<br><br>The day begins, with a grin<br>And a prayer to excuse my sins<br>I can walk anywhere I choose<br>Cause everybody listens to the B.D.P. crew<br>We`re not here for glamour or fashion<br>But here`s the question I`m askin<br>Why is it young black kids taught {flashin?}<br>They`re only taught how to read, write, and act<br>It`s like teachin a dog to be a cat<br>You don`t teach white kids to be black<br>Why is that? Is it because we`re the minority?<br>Well black kids follow me<br>Genesis chapter eleven verse ten<br>Explains the geneology of Chem<br>Chem was a black man, in Africa<br>If you repeat this fact they can`t laugh at ya<br>Genesis fourteen verse thirteen<br>Abraham steps on the scene<br>Being a descendent of Chem which is a fact<br>Means, Abraham too was black<br>Abraham born in the city of a black man<br>Called Nimrod grandson of Kam<br>Kam had four sons, one was named Canaan<br>Here, let me do some explaining<br>Abraham was the father of Isaac<br>Isaac was the father of Jacob<br>Jacob had twelve sons, for real<br>And these, were the children of Isreal<br>According to Genesis chapter ten<br>Egyptains descended from {Hahm,Kam}<br>Six hundred years later, my brother, read up<br>Moses was born in Egypt<br>In this era black Egyptians weren`t right<br>They enslaved black Isrealites<br>Moses had to be of the black race<br>Because he spent fourty years in Pharoah`s place<br>He passed as the Pharoah`s grandson<br>So he had to look just like him<br>Yes my brothers and sisters take this here song<br>Yo, correct the wrong<br>The information we get today is just wack<br>But ask yourself, why is that?<br><br><br>Verse Two<br><br>The age of the ignorant rapper is done<br>Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone<br>The stereotype must be lost<br>That love and peace and knowledge is soft<br>Do away with that and understand one fact<br>For love, peace must attack<br>And attack real strong, stronger than war<br>To conquer it and its law<br>Mental pictures, stereotypes and fake history<br>Reinforces mystery<br>And when mystery is reinforced<br>That only means that knowledge has been lost<br>When you know who you really are<br>Peace and knowledge shines like a star<br>I`m only showin you a simple fact<br>It Takes A Nation of MILLIONS to Hold Us people Back<br>Which is wack, but we can correct that<br>Teach and learn what it is to be black<br>Cause they`re teachin birds to be a cat<br>But ask yourself homeboy, why is that?
