Productions [00:09.79]My man D-Nice D-Nice is in the booth [00:11.60]Workin harder than ever [00:15.51]D-Nice is rockin the sound set tonight [00:17.38]We're not through I wanna drop a new style [00:36.89]It's calm yet wild the style that I speak [00:38.97]Just deal with facts and [00:40.60]You will never get weak in the heart [00:41.96]In fact you'll start to illuminate [00:43.05]Knowledge to others in a song let me demonstrate [00:45.14]The force of knowledge knowledge reigned supreme [00:46.56]The ignorant is ripped to smithereens [00:48.44]What do you mean when you say I'm rebellious [00:51.38]Cause I don't accept everything that you're telling us [00:53.94]What are you selling us the creator dwell in us [00:56.25]I sit in your unknown class while you're failing us [00:58.50]I failed your class cause I ain't with your reasoning [01:00.60]You're tryin make me you by seasoning [01:01.99]Up my mind with see Jane run [01:04.35]See John walk in a hardcore New York [01:06.05]Come on now that's like a chocolate cow [01:08.72]It doesn't exist no way no how [01:10.80]It seems to me that in a school that's ebony [01:13.29]African history should be pumped up steadily but it's not [01:16.07]And this has got to stop [01:17.48]See Spot run run get Spot [01:19.36]Insulting to a Black mentality [01:20.73]A Black way of life or a jet Black family [01:23.84]So I include with one concern that [01:26.20]You must learn [01:29.14](Yo Kris) What [01:31.09]Hold up D hold up D [01:34.03]We gonna see if they really ready for this [01:36.58]Are y'all having fun tonight [01:41.30]I said are y'all having fun tonight [01:45.46]I believe that if you're teaching history [01:47.25]Deal with straight up facts no mystery [01:49.56]Teach the student what needs to be taught [01:51.53]Cause Black and White kids both take shorts [01:53.72]When one doesn't know about the other ones' culture [01:56.12]Ignorance swoops down like a vulture [01:58.07]Cause you don't know that you ain't just a janitor [02:00.53]No one told you about Benjamin Banneker [02:01.93]A brilliant Black man that invented the almanac [02:04.20]Can't you see where KRS is coming at [02:06.74]With Elie Whitney Haile Selassie [02:08.18]Granville Woods made the walkie talkie [02:10.14]Lewis Lattimer improved on Edison [02:12.89]Charles Drew did a lot for medicine [02:15.21]Garrett Morgan made the traffic lights [02:16.90]Harriett Tubman freed the slaves at night [02:19.47]Madame CJ Walker made a straightin comb [02:21.45]But you won't know this is you weren't shown [02:24.05]The point I'm gettin at it it might be harsh [02:26.20]Is we're just walkin' around brainwashed [02:27.37]So what I'm sayin is not to diss em man [02:30.25]We need the 89 school system [02:32.23]One that caters to a Black fratern because [02:34.48]You must learn [02:37.23]Whattup cameraman [02:37.69]Let me here you say hoooo [02:43.48]We're not through with the ragga stuff [02:45.64]We're not through with the raggamuffin stuff yet man [02:53.75]Akebulan is the original name [02:55.70]Of Africa now stripped of it's fame [02:57.96]It's good to note that in ancient times [02:59.74]Egyptians developed all sciences of the mind [03:01.75]To the point where they ruled the planet [03:04.56]But Rome Greece and Persia wasn't havin it [03:06.80]They attacked and won the war [03:08.57]But it wasn't enough they had to get to the core [03:11.18]Cause in that time it was Akebulan [03:12.90]That ruled religion politics and man [03:14.50]In order to destroy the Egyptian race [03:16.95]They had to wipe the sciences from off the face of the planet [03:19.98]So they proceeded to ban it [03:21.74]Then replace it with Christianity [03:23.25]And it's been that way all the way to today [03:25.93]Learn what we teach hear what we say [03:27.97]But here comes the K-the-R-the-S-the-O-the-N-the-E [03:30.54]The BDP and we rhyme intelligently [03:31.79]Let me continue with Theodosyius [03:34.24]A Greek ruler not known to most of us [03:36.56]He in the fourth century A D [03:38.40]Calls the Egyptians fools you see [03:39.83]Two years later Justinian rules [03:42.66]Six A D was it for schools [03:44.96]As a result ignorance had swirled [03:46.63]Over Christian Europe and grateful Roman worlds [03:48.68]This went on for a thousand years [03:51.30]Of ignorance stupidity and tears [03:53.11]Now comes the seventeenth century hardness [03:54.83]Europe began to come out of it's darkness [03:57.84]So J F Blumenbach a German [03:59.50] [04:00.21]Came out of nowhere and started confirming [04:01.74]White supremacy and men of colors [04:04.14]Before this time all men were brothers [04:06.40]It was Johann who went on to say [04:08.58]There are five different colors in the world today [04:10.57]That's caucasian malayan and mongolian [04:11.78] [04:12.88]American-indian and ethiopian [04:14.92]Yes the ignorance gets scarier [04:16.91]He believed whites were superior [04:19.13]According to his idiotic fountain [04:21.36]The purest whites were from the Caucas mountains [04:23.60]J A Blofener and H S Chamberlain [04:25.69]Both supported this outrageous racism [04:26.85]This went on to what the master race should be [04:30.16]And why they killed the Jews in Germany [04:32.25]Here is the reason why I'm so concerned [04:34.32]Because you must learn [04:41.48]We're not done we're not done we're not done [04:46.85]Check this out [04:50.21] [05:15.56]Yeah yeah the name of the new album of course [05:18.96]Is Ghetto Music: The Blueprint of Hip-Hop [05:21.46]Run out and get a copy at your
