So many emcees focusin on black people extermination
We keep it balanced with that knowledge of self, determination
It's hot, we be blowin the spots, with conversations
C'mon let's smooth it out like Soul Sensation
We in the house like Japanese in Japan, or Koreans in Korea
Head to Philly and free Mumia with the Kujichagulia TRUE
Singin is swingin and writin is fightin, but what
they writin got us clashin like titans it's not excitin
No question, bein a black man is demandin
The fire's in my eyes and the flames need fannin (3X)
With that what? (Knowledge Of Self) Determination

Things I say and do, may not come quite through
My words may not convey just what I'm feelin

Yes yes come on, yes yes
Knowledge Of Self is like life after death

Winter Lovers Lyrics
Another yaer's gone by Since we said goodbye And I can hardly wait to have you come again I've been living by the phone I keep your letters in my pillow case So I can hold you close pretend I am with you Everyday is pale and empty When you're not here with me I got your memory burnt into my brain I count the lonely nights until you touch me again My heart is pounding like an oncoming train I want to have you so bad You know it's driving me mad And I can't hide the way I feel
ver worry about your last breathAnother yaer's gone by Since we said goodbye And I can hardly wait to have you come again I've been living by the phone I keep your letters in my pillow case So I can hold you close pretend I am with you Everyday is pale and empty When you're not here with me I got your memory burnt into my brain I count the lonely nights until you touch me again My heart is pounding like an oncoming train I want to have you so bad You know it's driving me mad And I can't hide the way I feel
Death comes, that's how I'm livin, it's the next days
The flesh goes underground, the book of life, flip the page
Yo they askin me how old, we livin the same age
I feel the rage of a million niggaz locked inside a cage
At exactly which point do you start to realize
That life without knowledge is, death in disguise?
That's why, Knowledge Of Self is like life after death
Apply it, to your life, let destiny manifest
Different day, same confusion, we're gonna take this
hip-hop shit and keep it movin, shed a little light
Now y'all bloomin like a flower with the power of the evident
Voices and drums original instruments
In the flesh presently presentin my representation
With that what? (Knowledge Of Self) Determination

Watch Ya Back Lyrics
Well where I stay its like basehead Heaven Brothers clock dollars 24-7 Some get caught and some don't Some'll make big money, some won't Some bite the bullet the hard way Brothers play the game of death but don't know how to play Money in ya pocket can't roll cause you're square Livin day to day is a black man's dare Money things and jealousy's a big parta life You thought you was the man till they stabbed you with a knife They took ya whole stack for a piece crack Brothas don't know how to act, watch ya back
t I'm feelinWell where I stay its like basehead Heaven Brothers clock dollars 24-7 Some get caught and some don't Some'll make big money, some won't Some bite the bullet the hard way Brothers play the game of death but don't know how to play Money in ya pocket can't roll cause you're square Livin day to day is a black man's dare Money things and jealousy's a big parta life You thought you was the man till they stabbed you with a knife They took ya whole stack for a piece crack Brothas don't know how to act, watch ya back

The most important time in history is, NOW, the present
So count your blessings cause time can't define the essence
But you stressin over time and you follow the Roman calendar
These people enter Cona like Gattaca, you can bet
they tryin to lock you down like Attica, the African diaspora
represents strength in numbers, a giant can't slumber forever
I know you gotta get that cheddar whatever
Aiyyo I heard you twice the first time money, get it together
You must be History, you repeatin yourself out of the pages
You keepin yourself depleatin your spiritual wealth
That quick cash'll get your ass quick fast in houses of detention
Inner-city concentration camps where no one pays attention
or mentions the ascension of death, til nothing's left
The young, gifted and Black are sprung addicted to crack
All my people where y'all at cause, y'all ain't here
Born a Woman Lyrics
Born a Woman ~Lyrics~ It makes no difference if you're rich or poor Or if you're smart or dumb A woman's place in this old world Is under some man's thumb And if you're born a woman You're born to be hurt You're born to be stepped on, lied to, cheated on And treated like dirt Ah if you're born a woman You're born to be hurt A woman's lot is to give and give And go on giving A woman's got to love and lose And go on living Well I was born a woman I didn't have no sa
Born a Woman ~Lyrics~ It makes no difference if you're rich or poor Or if you're smart or dumb A woman's place in this old world Is under some man's thumb And if you're born a woman You're born to be hurt You're born to be stepped on, lied to, cheated on And treated like dirt Ah if you're born a woman You're born to be hurt A woman's lot is to give and give And go on giving A woman's got to love and lose And go on living Well I was born a woman I didn't have no sa
And your hero's using your mind as a canvas to paint fear
With, broad brush strokes and tales of incarceration
You get out of jail with that Knowledge of Self determination
Stand in ovation, cause you put the Hue in Human
Cause and effect, effect everything you do
and that's why I got love in the face of hate
Hands steady so the lines in the mental illustration is straight
The thought you had don't even contemplate
Infinite like figure eight there's no escape..
From that what? (Knowledge Of Self) Determination
