My man D Nice D Nice is in the booth
|
Workin harder than ever
|
D Nice is rockin the sound set tonight
|
We're not through I wanna drop a new style
|
Verse One:
|
It's calm yet wild the style that I speak
|
Just deal with facts and you will never get weak in the heart
|
In fact you'll start to illuminate
|
Knowledge to others in a song let me demonstrate
|
the force of knowledge knowledge reigned supreme
|
The ignorant is ripped to smithereens
|
What do you mean when you say I'm rebellious
|
Cause I don't accept everything that you're telling us
|
What are you selling us the creator dwell in us
|
I sit in your unknown class while you're failing us
|
I failed your class cause I ain't with your reasoning
|
You're tryin make me you by seasoning
|
Up my mind with see Jane run
|
See John walk in a hardcore New York
|
Come on now, that's like a chocolate cow
|
It doesn't exist no way, no how
|
It seems to me that in a school that's ebony
|
African history should be pumped up steadily, but it's not
|
and this has got to stop
|
See Spot run, run get Spot
|
Insulting to a Black mentality
|
A Black way of life or a jet Black family
|
So I include with one concern, that
|
You must learn
|
(Yo Kris) What?
|
Hold up D, hold up D
|
We gonna see if they really ready for this
|
Are y'all having fun tonight?
|
I said are y'all having fun tonight?
|
Verse Two:
|
I believe that if you're teaching history
|
Deal with straight up facts no mystery
|
Teach the student what needs to be taught
|
Cause Black and White kids both take shorts
|
When one doesn't know about the other ones' culture
|
Ignorance swoops down like a vulture
|
Cause you don't know that you ain't just a janitor
|
No one told you about Benjamin Banneker
|
A brilliant Black man that invented the almanac
|
Can't you see where KRS is coming at
|
With Elie Whitney, Haile Selassie
|
Granville Woods made the walkie talkie
|
Lewis Lattimer improved on Edison
|
Charles Drew did a lot for medicine
|
Garrett Morgan made the traffic lights
|
Harriett Tubman freed the slaves at night
|
Madame CJ Walker made a straightin comb
|
But you won't know this is you weren't shown
|
The point I'm gettin at it it might be harsh
|
Is we're just walkin' around brainwashed
|
So what I'm sayin is not to diss em man
|
We need the 89 school system
|
One that caters to a Black fratern because
|
You must learn
|
Whattup cameraman?
|
Let me here you say hoooo!!!!
|
We're not through with the ragga stuff
|
We're not through with the raggamuffin stuff yet man
|
Verse Three:
|
Akebulan is the original name
|
Of Africa now stripped of it's fame
|
It's good to note, that in ancient times
|
Egyptians developed all sciences of the mind
|
To the point where they ruled the planet
|
But Rome, Greece and Persia wasn't havin it
|
They attacked, and won the war
|
But it wasn't enough, they had to get to the core
|
Cause in that time it was Akebulan
|
That ruled religion, politics and man
|
In order to destroy the Egyptian race
|
They had to wipe the sciences, from off the face of the planet
|
So they proceeded to ban it
|
Then replace it with Christianity
|
And it's, been that way, all the way to today
|
Learn what we teach, hear what we say
|
But here comes the K-the-R-the-S-the-O-the-N-the-E
|
The BDP and we rhyme intelligently
|
Let me continue with Theodosyius
|
A Greek ruler not known to most of us
|
He in the fourth century A.D.
|
Calls the Egyptians fools you see
|
Two years later, Justinian rules
|
Six A.D., was it for schools
|
As a result, ignorance had swirled
|
Over Christian Europe and grateful Roman worlds
|
This went on for a thousand years
|
Of ignorance stupidity and tears
|
Now comes the seventeenth century hardness
|
Europe, began to come out of it's darkness
|
So J.F. Blumenbach, a German
|
Came out of nowhere and started confirming
|
White supremacy and men of colors
|
Before this time, all men were brothers
|
It was Johann, who went on to say
|
There are five different colors in the world today
|
That's caucasian, malayan, and mongolian
|
American-indian, and ethiopian
|
Yes, the ignorance gets scarier
|
He believed whites were superior
|
According to his idiotic fountain
|
The purest whites were f |
