The Last Poets did it with poetry |
|
And uhh, and and.. even in our history |
|
from a ancient Afl- African civilization |
|
poets went from village to village |
|
And that's how, stories and messages and lessons were taught |
|
Y'knowhatI'mssayin, and so like you say, history repeats itself |
|
And so.. it it was, it was.. at it was, y'know obvious |
|
It was, pick it up, y'know? |
|
Bein the race that we are, bein the strong race that we are |
|
We picked it up, we picked up those positive, those positive vibes |
|
and we started rappin and so |
|
I think it is, it's a very good medium too |
