[Grand Puba] Bust it, Brand Nubian! Who calls you into work? (THE DEVIL) [Sadat X] Who ??? on your day off? (THE DEVIL) [Lord Jamar] Well who gives you your pay? (THE DEVIL) And who takes it away? (THE DEVIL) [Grand Puba, Sadat X, Lord Jamar] You mean to tell me that you're still not a slave In the land of the free and the home of the brave? Hmmmm Knowledge cipher, divided by powers equals wisdom But to know we have to start with knowledge first Divine evils will disperse in a hearse situation Now we hear some people sayin that we curse The lack of the knowledge of our self makes it worse Science that we're droppin make the average head burst I'm not an advocate of war, but if the colored man is gonna be on Well I gots to be on too And if he wants to drop a bomb I'm a drop you, word With the gods takin back what's mine [Sadat X] Colored man this is the end of the line The train ride is over now we stuck in the station 90s is the year, New York's the plantation Should I call you master? You better run faster I'll put your head in plaster, I'm the new overseer You label me a primate, ape or gorilla ... but watch gorilla turn to killer The Asiatic king but minus crazy rings The universal god is the true and livin god Sadat X, one of the last remainin thinkers Come into my room and I can show you where I tinkers With rhymes, so build the 1990 mottos It fills my times instead of fillin bottles of cracks And committin vile acts mostly against blacks And you don't stop, bust it The 1990 movement's for the black man's improvement Now it's time to get the knowledge of your self As I walk down the street I see the gods and cipher born So I listen and observe the gods the seer make some getters It's the black man's timing and righteous man's year I'm overwhelmed, another god steps to the helming to teach us The black man should practice what he preaches Or at least try to live a fruitful life Or lie peace and get some livin trife [Grand Puba] I had a brother say I'll wash the clothes and cook the food I'll pay your rent, now this is how the story went Emphatically no, singin singin that weak wisdom knowledge shit Hajji god is here to cancel (council?) it So just ring the alarm, another devil is dying, whoa-ee Just ring the alarm an uncle tom is trying, whoa-ee I didn't come to conceal it, I come to reveal it The true and livin god was the son of man And if you ever need assistance just take my hand Now my great great grand was hung up on a tree By the colored man, you probably know him as a white man I seen the Oprah Winfrey show, she said that was in the past Well bitch, kiss my ass Now it's time to teach the people Why our peoples not treated equal, now here's the next sequel I stand taller than the tallest wall... ya ever saw Sincere, gave the god a call, we boost to fund em all Long as he's a devil I'm a take it If a devil catch me right I'll leave em butt naked I say peace to the god, when I get hype it cause adrenaline See we love the sun cause we don't lack melanin Ask me do I hate a devil? Take a guess ... hope you said yes [Lord Jamar] Well Lord Jamar take nothin' on face value You only know what the devil wants you to know They started keep us apart from our social equality Which cause inequality He don't want us to know his biz or how filthy he is And all his (??) So in his court the unawares habit But I report cause I won't Don't look at things from the surface A book without understanding is worthless 120 gave me plenty to chew on Planted a seed and it grew On to the road where we got shit So we crackin shells and gettin to the yolk I rest in the Rule but don't take me for a joke I got an automatic tool Don't make it have to smoke Cause yo I bust off, in god we trust, I'm not soft When I'm droppin it I'm just an opposite Now that's hard... I study lessons about the rod and Elijah Won't sup-posit and tell you we're god ... of the universe And when you and I verse we gain a better understandin Which is the cream risin to the top like my Nubian team And we don't stop
