The Knowledge

Lyrics

[Intro] (Ooh) Count One, two, three, four One, two, one, two One, two, one, two One, two, three, four [Verse 1] Insight to what's going on Information keeps us strong What you don't know can hurt you bad Take it from me, you'll be walkin' around sad Cryin' for a better day Until you educate for a better way So if you wanna be in control You gotta get yourself in the know [Chorus] Get the knowledge That you really want The knowledge Do you really want? It's the knowledge What you really want The knowledge That you really want [Verse 2] Spreading vice, don't believe the hype You don't find the knowledge in a pipe Too many lives go up in smoke It's nice to laugh but don't be the joke To get over, get better I try to be the possessor Of the one thing we all need in life To succeed take my advice [Chorus] And get the knowledge (Knowledge) That you really want The knowledge (Knowledge) Do you really want? It's the knowledge (Knowledge) What you really want (Ooh) The knowledge (Knowledge) That you really want [Breakdown] One, two, three, four Prejudice? No Ignorance? No Bigotry? No Illiteracy?
