You ready to go? I'm ready to go What about y'all, y'all ready to go? Yeah aight yeah I'm ready to go, lookKnow thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God God is the mother, the father, the friend Know ye not that ye must be born again?What does it mean to be in the world but not of it It means you want the cars the cash the jewels the house But you don't love it, it means to taxes regulation state law you live Above it, it means you a free hip hopper, you ain't nobody's puppetYou don't see no money on me, you see it up in the cupboard You see me up in toys'r'us, with my seeds 'cause they love it You see insurance flash out, if my kids pass out You see seven acres of land where we can all spaz outTo all my fathers that fathered, hold your head up for starters Teach your toddlers, not to be thieves and robbers This that other kind of rap, that leads to true hip hop There's other kinds of raps, but they lead you to get shotThe choice is yours, you gettin' older now You got a kid comin', how you gonna hold it down? It's one thing to be iced out and rocked up What's the point if you're gettin' locked up?Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God God is the mother, the father, the friend Know ye not that ye must be born again?It's really time we separate the young men from the big men The young girls from the women, whatever the title that fit them My style designed to open a child's mind when I spit them I only got a little bit of time to really rhyme and uplift themYou see them brothers talkin' about that crime, forgive them It won't be long before they words manifest and they live them Sometimes you gotta go back to the beginnin' to learn After fifteen years I'm just beginnin' to burnTo all my true hip hoppers, that pay bills and live proper Never allow a negative thought to stop ya Correct ya posture, stand upright not uptight Don't be scared of the light, just prepare for the fightWe say, "Criminal minded", 'cause our thoughts are illegal We represent the very thinkin' of, inner city people Real people, people that take care of thyself They need health, love, awareness and wealthNot to mention, knowledge of God Not college, the job then dead, if you agree nod your head It's one thing to be iced out and rocked up But what's the point if you're gettin' locked up?Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God God is the mother, the father, the friend Know ye not that ye must be born again?C'mon c'mon yo, tonight is it We gonna steal away together, through these rhymes I spit When the student is ready, the teacher, shall appear So I'm here, but are you really ready to face your fears?Mo' money, mo' money, is that your credo? You've been livin' in a dream world Neo, power to the people Nobody's equal, everybody's diverse and different My lyric'll never cheat you, my verse is giftedSo manifest what you believe is God Almighty It could be Allah Jesus Krishna Buddha Aphrodite It could be nefretire come hear me you never fear me It's like at some point in your life you gonna have to hear meI represent them teachers preachers comin' through your speaker Manifestin' another lesson to them true believers Instead of pickin' up our women ready to mistreat 'em You better get yourself a wife and kid and never leave 'emYou better teach 'em you better read 'em you better feed 'em The system will defeat 'em if you don't teach 'em the cops'll beat 'em The style that I be kickin' quick is edutainment Hip hop culture needed a teacher quick so I became itInstead of rhymin' about my history and what I been through I'd rather rhyme about awakening the God within you Yo, it's one thing to be iced out and rocked up But what's the point if you're gettin' locked up?Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God God is the mother, the father, the friend Know ye not that ye must be born again?Yeah, yeah, fresh, for two thousand and two My sisters and brothers, my sisters and brothers My sisters and brothers, my sisters and brothers
