	[Intro]
	So I'm at the barbershop
	And we talking about this new generation of hip-hop
	And how, how lost you all are, man
	But y'all have no science
	So here you go
	[Verse 1]
	The systematic knowledge of the physical world
	Gained through observation and experimentation
	Usually beginning with a hypothesis
	Or what some may call an estimation
	Record your results from a series of tests
	And what you're left with is a theory at best
	Now let me give my hypothesis, an educated guess
	On why my people on the whole seem to be such a mess
	Genocide: the deliberate extermination
	Of a race, culture, or an entire nation
	Centuries ago they brought us here on a boat
	Enslaved us, beat us, til our spirit was broke
	Then they gave us freedom and a little bit of hope
	Then they killed our leaders and they gave us dope (crack)
	From the C.I.A. by way of Nicaragua
	Shipped to Rick Ross, he’s the black Godfather
	Now Oscar Blandón was his known supplier
	He snitched on Rick so that he could retire
	Ratted on Ricky so he got out quickly
	Now this is where the situation gets a little sticky
	Not a citizen of the U.S.A
	He got released and got hired by the D.E.A
	Then he got his green card from the I.N.S
	But that should’ve never happened due to previous arrests
	See our government seems to think that there is a difference
	Between powdered cocaine and crack, for instance
	You get five years for five grams of crack
	But in the powdered form you have a hundred times that
	Now who has the rock, and who has the powder?
	Who’s the oppressed and who has the power?
	They want you to fail so you wind up in jail
	You know how much they make while you sittin in that cell?
	Billions of dollars for inmate facilities
	You sell yourself back into slavery willingly
	It's not black and white, it’s so much more
	It’s the rich stayin rich and the poor stayin poor
	The poor white’s meth, the poor black’s crack
	It’s not about race and once you realize that
	We as a nation are free to move on
	And become one people, a movement, strong
	[Hook x2]
	Droppin this science
	Murs is a scientist
	Droppin this science while they drop bombs
	[Verse 2]
	Now black people weren't the first to be enslaved
	We were just the first to be treated this way
	No education, you were killed if you could read
	So you hid your intellect if you wanted to succeed
	And what happens to a lie when you livin' it
	You lose sight of who you are and start forgettin' it
	So many of us to this day act ignorant
	A mere shadow of our form of magnificence
	Welfare: no independence
	We become victims dependin' on the system
	Looking for a handout waiting on some help
	Dwelling on the past feeling sorry for your self
	But you do what you can to make it out the trap
	And that right there is the origin of rap
	It wasn't always played on every radio station
	It was us makin the best out of a bad situation
	Inner city schools stopped teaching us instruments
	We took turntables and started flippin' it
	Stole electricity from the street lights
	Plugged it into a system and made the beat hype
	There was a mic but MC's weren't rulin'
	It was more 'bout what the DJ was doin'
	He say a few words (GO, GO) to keep the party movin'
	The B-boys dancin' to the breaks and the grooves
	And the break was the part where the record broke down
	Where it was just a drum and a couple of sounds
	You had two records you could go back and forth
	To keep the groove goin' cause the break was so short
	Now if that ain't' science I don't know what is
	The ingenuity of these young black kids
	The Bronx New York, Sedgwick & Cedar
	Kool Herc earth hip-hop true believers
	(Theory) Adversity produces opportunity
	Anythings accomplished through strength and unity
	The fate of the world is in the hip-hop community
	The revolution's here and now with you and me
	[Hook x4]
