Give it to em!



Nuff respect! And praise to the creator

Over the years it seems that I became a

landmark, in the hip-hop field of art

I shed light, yet my skin is dark

I'm not conerned with climbin the chart

Cause why should you pay when it comes from the heart?

I'll start, cause only Jah will create it

I'll just name it, Edutainment

People sit and they look at my album

like a problem, they try to solve em

They don't know, it only leads the way

to a bright more positive day

By itself, it's NOT the bright day

Sit up straight, and hear what I say

Fear and ignorance, I'm down for stoppin this

but the bright day is your conciousness

I am poet, my words will heal you

I'm not a phony I'll really feel you

That's why I walk and talk to my nation

Wherever they are, in any situation

They usually ask for an autograph

And I'll whip out the pen and just write Blast-

-Master, K-R-S, O-N-E

BDP, Peace and Unity

But do not concentrate on the paper

Concentrate on the laws of the creator

Cause when the paper's gone, it will deceive you

But Allah will never leave you



Nothing I say now is hypothetical

These are the facts, a little metaphysical

We are one, every heart every lung

So why then was the black man hung?

He was hung by the so-called Christians

that went to church, and did not listen

See Jesus couldn't stand politics

so they nailed him to a crucifix

Then it was that way, today it's a trigger

So why is the Pope such a political figure?

I don't know, but it's really beyond me

But through knowledge, they'll NEVER con me

Cause from Jesus Christ to right now

everytime a black man speaks up, KA-POW

See people concentrate on the leader

And not the message comin through the speaker

If the Christians really heard Christ

the black man never would've lived this life

My point is that do not concentrate

on what I state, create, or debate

I might be great, and you might admire

But what I say is to take you MUCH higher

MORE higher than the physical plane

to the plane of forces in the astral plane

The mental plane, and the final three

They're all around you, yet you can't see

So grab the sphere of life and aim it

and you'll be guided by Edutainment
