| Grab a hold of yourself, open your eyes | |
| Get wise to the exercise | |
| Being taught by the teacher that most dominant | |
| You need knowledge? | |
| Well i dropping it | |
| Listen to the rap allow it to trap | |
| Your body and soul so that you can adapt | |
| To the man on display as i take you away | |
| So may i? | |
| Proud to be a black man | |
| Coming exact and | |
| Giving up to brothers five on the back hand | |
| Pray for lease and peace upon each other | |
| With my sisters and brothers | |
| I say the mother, as in the motherland | |
| But on the other hand, another man | |
| Tackled and shackled our ancestors | |
| But we beat him with freedom, so let bless the | |
| Country that we all came from | |
| Because the moral of it all is we shall overcome | |
| The cream will keep rising | |
| We be sizing | |
| Up, the asiatic one is enterprising | |
| Building and building to carry on | |
| All the way from malcolm x to farrakhan | |
| Martin luther was a tutor, many were pupils | |
| Those who fell victim were those without scruples | |
| However, to sever, we could never | |
| So hold up the peace sign and stand together | |
| Take heed to the words that i manifest | |
| And when i through speaking, marley marll do the rest | |
| People, people | |
| We gotta get over, before we go under (x2) | |
| Let get together> (x2) | |
| Yo big daddy, what you gonna say now?> | |
| Take a stand the fight for power | |
| Cause wee been here before the mayflower | |
| Living superior abiding by nature | |
| The history of the asiatic one paid the | |
| Price to be paid in slavery | |
| Like the name of antonio was gave to me | |
| But knowledge of self broke every shackle and chain | |
| Now i declare myself as the big daddy kane | |
| The teacher, teaching a lesson to be heard | |
| That word, to the mother my brother | |
| So discover the truth of one another | |
| Cause here the real deal upon our skin color | |
| Lay down white, yellow, red or pink | |
| But the color of black is most dominant | |
| The rising and sizing can never cease | |
| Peace! | |
| Is the original man, we just can escape our destiny> | |
