Face It |
| Yeah, you got your man here Dat X, worldwide, J Rawls (peace |
| Tell 'em 'bout whenever you came up) |
| Yeah I came up in ah, in that time, when rappers first generated |
| Came up in a strong household, two-parent household |
| All the black men didn’t run away |
| Learned who I was from some good brothers |
| Original men, there’s always gonna be nice |
| I was destined student enrolled me — and shaped my frame |
| The god slow a grown man I became |
| I was self thought but from others I caught |
| Mic styling and groundbrakers |
| Broke rules and took chances |
| Start it like out of few glances |
| Further engrossed me |
| Watched all — followed nothing closely |
| Looked into my self and became a man |
| Got with the brothers grand |
| Seen the land, build with my fathering skill |
| In this gene, supreme being |
| The all eye seeing that’s why i survive |
| I’m not saying' that I’m the best to lie |
| I say that i believe that I’m one of the top |
| I’m not going to sell myself short |
| See that’s the life you bought |
| I knowledge wisdom |
| I’m understanding |
| That the world is demanding |
| Yes, yes, yes |
| Peace God yeah that’s what I’m talking about, yo |
| We’ve gotta let the young people know what it is |
| What hip-hop is |
| See this new hip hop it don’t cost you no though |
| It don’t spread no knowledge it don’t give them nothing, man |
| But it’s up to us to give them that knowledge |
| That wisdom, that understanding |
| My man Wise Intel drop a jewel on 'em |
| Why do we try to believe |
| Crackers ruling public schooling doesn’t impede the seeds |
| Wasn’t it these that gave us 3/5th MC’s |
| The recipes to manufacture dumbed-down rappers |
| This is why I keep my hip-hop tip-top shape |
| My shake I speak awake, asleep |
| I hate to see ya lacking |
| Like my fish black and girls blacker |
| Poor, black and hated |
| But I’m proud to be that |
| Marcus Garvey, Bobby Marley make me proud to be black |
| Some prospectors have suggested my commercially defective |
| Black aesthetics needs an edit just so white folks cans get it |
| twice as hood as little weezy |
| I just rather drop a jewel or watch a womb to plant my seed in |
| Soon to pamphlet all my teachings |
| While I cough at all of yours |
| Each and all poor righteous teachers |
| Had to learn before they taught |
| It’s like the seeds if you’ll agree |
| They had to crawl before they walk |
| Sadat X and J Rawls, and how ever that falls |
| Let freedom, justice, equality be taught in the halls |
| Preached in the pool-halls where the black men frequent |
| I’m tired of seeing my brothers in the precinct |
| I’m just saying |
| We got history god |
| There is no mystery god |
| The true or living |
| A civilized mans ghost teach wise living |
| For the babies I’m giving |
| They’re the best part |
| Black man and a woman that’s how the families start |
| Please educate Allah’s children everywhere |
| I’ma say peace and leave that in the air |
| Walkin 25.000 and be back on my square |
| I pollenate the seeds when Im there |
| I’ll die for mine |
| Freedom mentally and don’t never eat swine |
| Cause that’s foul |
| Brand Nubian |
| Public Enemy |
| X-clan |
| KRS |
| Poor Righteous Teachers |
| Rakim |
| And they thought me things about people like: |
| Marcus Garvey |
| Nat Turner |
| Eldridge Cleever |
| Bobby seal |
| Malcolm X |
| Young people pick up the books. |
| We got to give the youth what they need. |
