KRS-One - Know Thy Self слова песни
You ready to go? I`m ready to goWhat about y`all, y`all ready to go? (yeah aight yeah) I`m ready to goLook[repeat 3X]Know thy self, and thou shalt knowThe universe and God (whoa-ohh-ohh)God is the mother, the father, the friendKnow ye not that ye must be born again?What does it mean to be in the world but not of itIt means you want the cars the cash the jewels the house but you don`t love itIt means to taxes regulation state law you live above itIt 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 cupboardYou see me up in Toys`R`Us, with my seeds cause they love itYou see insurance flash out, if my kids pass outYou see seven acres of land where we can all spaz outTo all my fathers that fathered, hold your head up for startersTeach your toddlers, not to be thieves and robbersThis that other kind of rap, that leads to true hip-hopThere`s other kinds of raps, but they lead you to get shotThe choice is yours, you gettin older nowYou got a kid comin, how you gonna hold it down?It`s one thing to be iced out and rocked upWhat`s the point if you`re gettin locked up?[repeat 3X]Know thy self, and thou shalt knowThe universe and God (whoa-ohh-ohh)God is the mother, the father, the friendKnow ye not that ye must be born again?It`s really time we seperate the young men from the big menThe young girls from the women, whatever the title that fit themMy style designed to open a child`s mind when I spit themI only got a little bit of time to really rhyme and uplift themYou see them brothers talkin about that crime? Forgive themIt won`t be long before they words manifest and they live themSometimes you gotta go back to the beginnin to learnAfter fifteen years I`m just BEGINNIN to burnTo all my true hip-hoppers, that pay bills and live properNever allow a negative thought to stop yaCorrect ya posture, stand upright not uptightDon`t be scared of the light, just prepare for the fightWe say "Criminal Minded", cause our thoughts are illegalWe represent the very thinkin of, inner-city peopleReal people, people that take care of theyselfThey need health, love, awareness and wealthNot to mention, knowledge of GodNot college, the job then dead - if you agree nod your headIt`s one thing to be iced out and rocked upBut what`s the point if you`re gettin locked up?[repeat 3X]Know thy self, and thou shalt knowThe universe and God (whoa-ohh-ohh)God is the mother, the father, the friendKnow ye not that ye must be born again?C`mon c`mon yo, tonight is itWe gonna steal away together, through these rhymes I spitWhen the student is ready, the teacher, shall appearSo 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 diversed and differentMy lyric`ll never cheat you, my verse is giftedSo manifest what you believe is God almightyIt could be Allah Jesus Krishna Buddha AphroditeIt could be Nefretire come hear me and never fear meIt`s like at some point in your life you gonna have to hear meI represent them teachers preachers comin through your speakerManifestin another lesson to them true believersInstead of pickin up our women ready to mistreat `emYou better get yourself a wife and kid and never leave `emYou better teach `em you better read `em you better feed `emThe system will defeat `em if you don`t teach `em the cops`ll beat `emThe 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 throughI`d rather rhyme about awakening the God within youYo, it`s one thing to be iced out and rocked upBut what`s the point if you`re gettin locked up?[repeat 3X]Know thy self, and thou shalt knowThe universe and God (whoa-ohh-ohh)God is the mother, the father, the friendKnow ye not that ye must be born again?[KRS-One]Yeah.. yeah..
