|
I ain't goin'
|
I'm gone
|
Up up up and away
|
And I'm on
|
A higher plane
|
With a brain
|
With a flame
|
Feel the fire
|
Desire the same
|
Knowledge and wisdom
|
And understanding
|
Possessed by gods
|
Transferred to man in
|
A script of a book
|
A scripture that looks
|
Like a Biblical writing
|
Inviting a hook
|
Of a song sing along with a strong
|
Subliminal
|
Message divesting all men from
|
Criminal
|
Acts of the Devil
|
Revealed and reveled
|
Designed to recline the mind to lower level
|
With no spiritual level
|
Read the Holy Koran
|
Or the Bible
|
Because it's liable
|
To be a revival
|
For the weak who seek power it'll bring
|
Infallible power
|
Knowledge is king
|
Knowledge
|
Who wants some
|
come get it
|
A battle is a test of wits
|
And I'm witted
|
Hard beats a torch
|
And I lit it
|
Stop the music
|
Alright hit it
|
Now that it feels good
|
I'm heating up
|
I feed off knowledge
|
And can't get enough
|
Knowledge is infinite
|
Suckers ain't into it
|
Ignorance is bliss
|
And they're kin to it
|
Party and dance
|
And don't ever glance
|
At a book or look
|
For their mind to advance
|
Caught in a rut
|
Chasing butt
|
Trying to get a dollar
|
Or trying to get a nut
|
Evil feeds
|
Off a source of apathy
|
Weak in the mind
|
And of course you have to be
|
Less than a man
|
More like a thing
|
No knowledge you're nothin'
|
Knowledge is king
|
Knowledge
|
My rhymes make
|
A meak mind anorexic
|
You can't hang without slang
|
So eject it
|
I've selected
|
Rhymes for records
|
To affect the effect
|
Of the rhyme that left
|
Hangin' like a pound
|
That came down
|
But you're hangin' the brain
|
So your brain's hell-bound
|
Lost and found
|
By the serpent's sound
|
What you don't know
|
Can't hurt that's profound
|
Or absurd
|
A better word
|
An ingnorant fool
|
Is a real cool nerd
|
Pockets are fat
|
With an empty head
|
Got a little fame and a name
|
And you're brain dead
|
You count dollars
|
So ya think ya in
|
What good is knowing how to count
|
If you don't know when
|
And history today
|
And it will equal the future
|
Repetitive mistakes
|
Cause the brain ain't acute ya
|
Need knowledge
|
To understand
|
The concept of sacrifice
|
But man don't understand
|
So we have to fight
|
War
|
Killing people we never
|
Saw before
|
Most don't eden know
|
What they're killin' for
|
Following rulers
|
Instead of the prophets
|
The wicked can rule ya
|
But the knowledge can stop it
|
Souls can't be controlled
|
It's a spiritual thing
|
But you got the knowledge
|
Knowledge is king
|
Knowledge
|
My knowledge comes
|
From a spiritual force
|
Stonger than any
|
Earthly source
|
Propaganda
|
Hype or slander
|
I won't believe the hype
|
I understand the
|
Media dictates
|
The mind and rotates
|
The way you think
|
And syncopates slow pace
|
Brains
|
Can't maintain
|
Acertain
|
Insipid inane crass rain
|
Insane lame
|
Traditions
|
All praise fame
|
Positions
|
Want to be a star
|
Drive a big car
|
Live bourgeios
|
Ane won't know who you are
|
Lost in the source
|
And praising the dollar
|
Whether your faith is
|
Christ or Allah
|
The knowledge of God
|
Will teach one thing
|
The dollar is moot
|
Knowledge is king
|
|
