| So gather round now for the raptism
|
| Cause if the dogs don’t get 'em
|
| the cattle get 'em, or the gat’ll get 'em, or the crack’ll get 'em
|
| Time for spiritual activism, life is a journey
|
| and Kris got the map with him
|
| Teach latinos and blacks with 'em
|
| It’s amazing when whites and asians kick raps with 'em
|
| Cause out of a thousand MC’s, believe I taught half of 'em
|
| Knowledge Reigns Supreme, I beam through many images
|
| My origin is a mystery like capstones on pyramids
|
| We live it kid, challenge the teacher you will regret that
|
| I’m giving careers and taking careers away, did you forget that?
|
| So gather round now for the raptism
|
| Only those that got hip-hop in 'em
|
| and not rap in 'em and no crack with 'em
|
| Step up now and receive a holy dose
|
| from a holy host, and take a break from these rappers that only boast
|
| Wake up, to make up Yeah yeah, yeah
|
| Wake up, to make up Huh, huh, yeah yeah, yeah
|
| Wake up, to make up Yo, yeah, yo.
|
| I’m on many different planes like a airport
|
| Psychologically you be rethinkin your identity and cuttin ya hair short
|
| Now there’s a thought, that exposes your insecurity
|
| You put no fear in me, I break the M from the C So, huh, gather round for the raptism
|
| Wake up When the spirit hear it the lyric long before the track get 'em
|
| Wake up I spit 'em out, gotta get 'em out, the world I never been about
|
| I see them glitter but their spirit’s goin in and out
|
| We see them fading, we also see them hating
|
| We also see those living for musical chart ratings
|
| Hear what I’m stating or trading for what you’re paying
|
| Replace fear with faith and you’ll stop decaying
