Song | Show N Prove - Explicit Version |
Artist | Inspectah Deck |
Album | Uncontrolled Substance |
作曲 : J. Brand/J.K. Hunter/M. McDonald | |
The power of God's in you (show and prove) | |
The power of God's in you (show and prove) | |
The power of God's in you (show and prove) | |
True, The time has come through | |
Chose the few, must show and prove | |
[Intro: Inspectah Deck *in the the background of the chorus*] | |
Yea, this is the power, true power | |
Showin and provin | |
[Inspectah Deck] | |
I once asked God to forgive for my sins | |
Bent on my knees pleadin to be heavenly cleansed | |
Said the Holy Ghost changed the ways and actions of men | |
When I stood, I felt the same as if I just walked in | |
I was twelve at the time, held nines, held mines | |
A frail mind, criminal thoughts well-designed | |
Then the Older Gods put me on, on how to rock this | |
Maintain, 360, lord and live prosperous | |
His jewel was priceless, keep the cypher righteous | |
Bare in mind, God, some of your own won't like this | |
I'm mentally scarred, recooperatin from abrasure | |
Fooled by interpretations made from a traitor | |
It's in my nature, I was taught, that's the first law | |
Obtain the food, clothin and the shelter that I search for | |
The fire in my eyes is hot as Earth's core | |
What hurts more, the fact that we still dirt poor | |
In hard times force crimes out of honest man | |
And most fiend to see the so-called promised land | |
Sun of Man, knowledge, wisdom and understand | |
that it's time to take matters in our own hands | |
[Chorus] | |
[Inspectah Deck] | |
The wicked ways of the world can't escape sin | |
I'm facin masses gun on the plantation | |
Seen source from home yet I'm still caved in | |
Cuz 9000 miles is such a long way to swim | |
and many die tryin to survive the next mile | |
Famillies was raised as slaves and exiled | |
I learned it as a child, knowledge be the key | |
to unlock your brain and set your mindstate free | |
It's true, the times come through, chose the few | |
Show and prove, the power of God's in you | |
or remain a savage in pursuit of happiness | |
Who lacks jewels, love and peace completes the package | |
The fact is five out a hundred know the truth | |
The wisdom might blow the roof when shown and proved | |
[Chorus] | |
[Inspectah Deck] | |
Through the course of time, we was dumb, deaf and blind | |
Now we on the incline, build with one mind | |
Came a long way, but, yo, we still far behind | |
So, uplift the mind, God, rise and shine | |
I speak to the black-bellied yellow seeds | |
My fellow breed all races, colors and creeds | |
Search for the knowledge, use science and math | |
and be queens and kings like the centuries past | |
The devil tried to fool my people, said we was equal | |
But I believe him when my culture sees freedom | |
You beat 'em with the positive thoughts, you don't need em | |
Leave him in the dirt, let the blood suckers see him | |
[Chorus to fade] |
