Knowledge and Wisdom
We vibin and chillin like suga plums
and lullabies
Avidly buildin a legacy of
blackhearted affairs in places you
despise
Overcomin overlookin and
overthrowin
This procession aint gonna do
nothin but keep on growin
We aint bout to take no shiznit
Been around too long to bow
before some little jit
Too old to be down with all them
games
Too bold to be addressed out of
our names
Won the war and earned our
stripes
Nigga please
There aint no love or respect in
your stereotypes
Open your eyes to the storm of
knowledge and wisdom wrote in the
clouds
Grab your belongings, hit the block,
and join the crowds
