OG Style - Knowledge is the Gift слова песни
[ VERSE 1: The E ]As I sit back and think about our problemsWhat`s goin on and how we gonna solve emBlack man sellin us out to the other colorBut try to keep it undercoverI understand all that cause it`s a money thingBut if that`s the case, then let money bringPeace and joy to the ones that need a new startAnd let the greed departWhen I ask how you`re livin you shout it outNow it`s time to get together and talk aboutIt doesn`t matter about your color, let`s take a standComin out the mouth of a black manYou say we should unite and be as oneAnd then you see me on the rise and grab a shotgunA lotta nerve you show as you stand stiffBut my knowledge is the gift[ VERSE 2: The E ]I bring a lotta thought to what`s happeninThe new jack swing`s in effect and I`m rappinI wanna talk to your eardrums straight upAnd give your mind a little time to wake upWho says we have to be the lesser one?Put your best foot forward and be the better oneOpen up your eyes to a new sightAnd if you do it for yourself you know it`s done rightIf you`re black, yo, they figure you want a hand-outThen they question your mind because you stand outIf you speak for your piece then you`re militantThat`s the way that we`re taught by our governmentI don`t wanna hear that, save it for the next manI got a mind of my own and I don`t give a damnYo, a lotta nerve you show as you stand stiffBut my knowledge is the gift[ VERSE 3: The E ]Now it`s time to decide how we wanna liveIf we all stand together something`s gotta giveA lotta times we`re the reason for the negative thoughtsThey come across, so the battle`s lostPut your pride in your pocket if you`re selfishMy temperature`s runnin hot so I`ma melt thisWhen I say down with Jack I mean Ant JackSome brothers say I ain`t down because I know jackKnowledge is the gift that I`m teachinAnd the highest plateau`s where I`m reachinForget the stereotype and world hypeThat says you have to be white in order to do rightWhy don`t we all just unite and take a stand?Comin out the mouth of a black manA lotta nerve you show as you stand stiffBut my knowledge is the gift
