Lyrics

[00:09.90] Forbidden knowledge can destroy mankind
[00:13.81]
[00:19.74] I spend large hours of my days alone
[00:21.92] I don't believe we share this universal space alone
[00:23.87]
[00:24.53] I think we got a lot from them they gave us phones
[00:26.41] Internet and know we all know what is forbidden knowledge
[00:29.10] Forbidden knowledge is too great for a man
[00:31.12] Think if man could read your mind you think that man understands
[00:33.49] How to use it with integrity not conquering land
[00:35.24] Would it be good if we increased the lifespan well that's forbidden knowledge
[00:38.51] Forbidden knowledge can destroy mankind
[00:40.27] We can grow out of control like cancer under the skin of Mother Nature
[00:43.31] Busy cities much alike to a tumor
[00:45.31] Too many cells the residents the body's polluted
[00:47.54] I say woosah and alley-oop the the jeweler
[00:49.21] Try to make up I know my history I know we are moors
[00:52.07] There's a universe in her afro hold us back though
[00:55.02] There's a power in the black folk well that's forbidden knowledge
[00:57.79] At first they want to keep us separate but equal
[00:59.70] But it's not so we fight against the hatred and evil
[01:02.21] Now they let us think we got it and they killin' our people
[01:04.42] Why does history repeat like a sequel Well that's forbidden knowledge
[01:07.17] It's got a man watching TV like people
[01:09.28] Rewinding his favorite parts to play it back like it's TiVo
[01:11.79] Have I wrote this shit before It all feels like a review
[01:13.86] And deja vu is left to die like our dreams do but that's forbidden knowledge
[01:17.06] I had some shocking memories as a kid
[01:19.02] Waking up onto a table a lap some type of fizz
[01:21.33] Too vivid to be a nightmare mom would tell me that shit
[01:23.91] Can't remember anything that he did guess that's forbidden knowledge
[01:26.23]
[01:35.47] Forbidden knowledge
[01:36.12]
[01:45.02] Forbidden knowledge
[01:45.63]
[01:55.29] Are dreams another kind of preview to Heaven
[01:57.36] We manifest our reality based on our personality
[01:59.56] Coming from shit we did since the day we were seven
[02:01.97] So did you share toys Or did you masturbate at eleven
[02:04.02] I'm just a 90s baby a millennial kid
[02:07.01] Indigos are on the rise to make perennial shift
[02:09.32] Hope this music stands long as Redwood Sequoias
[02:11.63] Pyramids and stones like stones from Stonehenge
[02:14.54] Come on let the future tell the truth
[02:16.46] Cause you a shell of you
[02:17.39] You played your cards wrong now you got hella youth
[02:19.09] Be glad I still retain respect for you
[02:20.82]
[02:21.40] Cause I got bullets that'll kill you if your vest is hell and heaven-proof
[02:24.44] I'll never understand your corporate greed
[02:26.09] Just a group of people all they want is more than they need
[02:28.71] Signing off on papers blinded to the pain overseas
[02:30.94] Blood resulting from the ink that they bleed but that's forbidden knowledge
[02:33.67]
[02:42.66] Forbidden knowledge
[02:43.44]
[02:51.81] Forbidden knowledge
[02:52.38] So who put the liquor store across the street from the gun shop
[02:54.77] And the park a hop skip in the dark 'way from the gunshots
[02:57.28] That rang out in the neighborhood where the youth's misunderstood
[02:59.80] Fighting over concrete squares but the laws just ain't no good
[03:02.54] I think their agenda's meant to kill us all
[03:04.46] Now what good is education long as you can ball
[03:06.94] Standin' on the couch inside the club and hit the mall
[03:09.22] Barely feed a bum but you buy it all
[03:11.54] Think they laughin' at us cause while we're watchin' some cable
[03:13.64] They was talkin' 'bout the economy sharecroppers and stables
[03:16.58] How to keep the horse runnin' his course give him some blinders
[03:19.10] So that he lack remorse for whoever's right beside him
[03:21.12] His own kind I pray you dig deeper
[03:23.57] If you don't find what you're lookin' for on the surface
[03:26.71] The knowledge that you need can't be Nextel chirpin'
[03:29.31] You're every bit of worth it not worthless
[03:30.98] You kings and queens were meant for better things
[03:33.37] Than flexin' on the scene or burstin' out the seams
[03:35.55] Of your blouse you told yourself you'd never wear outside your mama's house
[03:38.70] Cause the energy it lends puts strong women down down
[03:41.69]
[03:42.28] Brother look you don't need to go to jail just to read you a book
[03:45.47] I wonder what Malcolm found after goin' to Mecca
[03:47.68] Or the mindstate of Martin after visitin' Selma
[03:50.18] The leaders that were slain for speakin' the topic
[03:52.72] On the schemers and the reapers of forbidden knowledge knowledge knowledge knowledge
[03:59.45] Forbidden knowledge
