Lyrics

I think we should do this I self lord and my methods of droppin' mental Simple, yet very complicatedly I place it Poor Righteous Teachers speaking of what was spoken in their bible (what?) And now them calling me a racist (damn) I cram to understand their weak and wicked way of livin Man was given law not religion, C-Free - you's be know Wise be ain't sellin em fantasy (Word is my life, G) Most def-initely PRT means never down We're up with the kings and crowns Not clowns No blue eyes or blond hair is over here And now inserting sex and fear But why must I be a racist for turning people to the truth? Direct from a tree called life When I strive to be the best that I can be and best for me is G - PRT, the pure real type I self lord and my every day aggravation, meditating Awaiting on the way to get away Not run son, the son of man can't stand this land Where blacks stay symbolic to the prey Oh me (oh my) why I can't deny that Wise and the teachers were lost But that was then and this is now (How?) can one say false is what the Gods were taught You silly pigeon Wise be ain't dealing with no religion, brothers listen Only them comprehend pure fact from a brother that loves being black Fact - negativity can't win, limit sin Tell the others their time is done (yo) No need for cooking that ass in the sun And Wise's life is just begun And my desires to have some fun I self lord and the PRT posse feel it Death - for all you brothers out there selling weak shit Dip - is my hip hop so I drop the profane Cause thats the only way they'll understand it If - I was to say 'yo black stop selling crack' No I don't think a single soul would listen But - if I was to riff bum rush and start dissin' I'd give you total comprehension Cause all them wants to see is violence and negativity But the problem is lack of unity Black is black regardless to what state your from You're wrong, and you're blind deaf and dumb Why can't we say 'to hell with the red white and blue'? The green black and red's coming through Teachin what was taught by those that teach we teachers And civilizes all the black kids I self lord and my musical way of building Willing - to speak the power to the people Equal - only to ones self because ones self be but a brother Others is the fact that I be legal 'See ya' - what I may say when I be steppin Off into the projects called Divineland Why stand around and watch the king that wears the crown? You can be down with the get down sound As if the gift was simply trying to lift The moral standards of the people - my people To whom there's not another people equal - to the lost and found Hmm - a brief sign of meditation Fakin - moves a brother can't cope Dope - one deaf one dumb one blind Now is it funky now, nope
