| Yeah, yeah, yup | |
| You know what, | |
| I was just downstairs | |
| And I was on my way up here to the studio and | |
| A guy bumped into me | |
| And he said, he said, "Yo KrisHow is it that you stay in this music?You know, this rap music especially for so long, so long" | |
| I said, "Well, you know years ago I made a deal with the Goddess" | |
| He said, "The Goddess?" | |
| I said, "Well yeah, you might know her as GodBut I know her as the Goddess" | |
| The Universal | |
| MotherThe | |
| Mother of everything you see in existence | |
| I asked her for assistance | |
| In lyrical persistence | |
| And she gave it to me, under one condition | |
| She said, "I'll give you the giftBut use the gift to uplift" | |
| I said, "Okay Mom" | |
| So I tell you the truth, really | |
| Me nah gon' need nothin' else | |
| But health, wealth and knowledge of myself | |
| Me nah gon' need nothin' else | |
| But health, wealth and knowledge of myself | |
| In the beginning was the word, the word was made flesh | |
| Knowledge | |
| K., Reigns | |
| R., Supreme | |
| S.Some of us guess while others of us are blessed | |
| Take heed to the word, that | |
| I manifest | |
| I manifest the future, the present, followed by the past | |
| Everything in nature, rules by kickin' ass | |
| What they tellin' me, but yo, you a friend to me | |
| So I'ma tell you the secrets of | |
| MC longevity | |
| Secret one, if it ain't fun, you're done | |
| And about your career, huh, well, choose another one | |
| If you don't like what you do, you're through | |
| Lesson two, make sure you got a dope crew | |
| Not some crew, that's like an anchor on a shoe | |
| A mad crew, that's of some benefit to you | |
| Lesson three, might be contradictory or funny | |
| But MC's should have other ways of gettin' money | |
| That's to say learn other things beside music | |
| Make money elsewhere, hip-hop you won't abuse it | |
| Too many M | |
| C's, just emcee | |
| So their longevity, is based on an | |
| Uncle Tom at the record company | |
| Lesson four, sell your image, never sell a record | |
| Image is respected, records come and go and get collected | |
| Even the records of platinum artists, that used to rip shop | |
| Can be bought, for a quarter at the thrift shop | |
| Which brings me to lesson number five, the illusion | |
| Has me thinkin', the minute they drop a record | |
| They'll be cruisin' in the | |
| Acura, slow down, you're still a amateur | |
| What separates the pro from the amateur is stamina | |
| Not how long you can rhyme but how long you've been rhymin' | |
| Changin' with the times, and findin' yourself still climbin' for wealth' | |
| Blow for blow, you're still growin', still showin' | |
| Now that's a pro at it | |
| Me nah gon' need nothin' else | |
| But health, wealth and knowledge of myself | |
| Me nah gon' need nothin' else | |
| But health, wealth and knowledge of myself | |
| Thank you | |
