| [00:00.30] | The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth |
| [00:10.89] | |
| [00:11.28] | Life is a test many quest the universe |
| [00:13.50] | And through my research, I felt the joy and the hurt |
| [00:16.01] | The first shall be last and the last shall be first |
| [00:18.62] | The basic instructions before leaving earth |
| [00:21.60] | (x2) |
| [00:32.00] | |
| [00:32.39] | Knowledge is wisdom, this goes back when I was twelve |
| [00:34.58] | I loved doing right but I was trapped in Hell |
| [00:37.09] | Had mad ideas, sad eyes and tears |
| [00:39.70] | Years of fears but yo my foes couldn't bear |
| [00:42.44] | I searched for the truth since my youth |
| [00:44.95] | And went to church since birth but it wasn't worth the loot |
| [00:47.38] | That I was paying plus the praying |
| [00:50.28] | I didn't like staying cause of busy-bodies and dizzy hotties |
| [00:52.97] | That the preacher had souped up with lies |
| [00:55.77] | Had me cooped up looking at loot, butt and thighs |
| [00:58.30] | During the service he swallowed up the poor |
| [01:01.25] | And after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor |
| [01:03.47] | But I ignored and explored my history that was untold |
| [01:06.74] | And watched mysteries unfold |
| [01:08.72] | And dropped a jewel like Solomon but never followed men |
| [01:12.22] | Cause if you do your brain is more hollow than |
| [01:14.18] | Space oblivia or the abyss |
| [01:15.96] | With no trace of trivia left with the hiss |
| [01:19.30] | Does it pay to be deaf, dumb and blind? |
| [01:22.07] | From a slave we was kept from the mind |
| [01:24.48] | And from the caves he crept from behind |
| [01:27.04] | And what he gave was the sect of the swine |
| [01:29.83] | When the Bible, it condemned the pig |
| [01:32.36] | I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigs |
| [01:35.00] | But we used to wear a turban but now we're in the urban |
| [01:37.88] | No more wearing beanies and dress like a genie |
| [01:40.57] | No hocus pocus cause I focus on the facts |
| [01:43.05] | And put it on the tracks and embroid it through the wax |
| [01:45.71] | I speak on Jacob, it might take up some time |
| [01:48.35] | And too much knowledge, it might break up the rhyme |
| [01:50.94] | I did it anyway just to wake up the mind |
| [01:53.58] | Of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet |
| [01:56.34] | Those who sit home or sell books by the market |
| [01:58.93] | Need to chill and get their mind revived |
| [02:01.70] | For years religion did nothing but divide |
| [02:04.29] | The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth |
| [02:06.87] | |
| [02:07.42] | Life is a test many quest the universe |
| [02:09.46] | And through my research, I felt the joy and the hurt |
| [02:11.94] | The first shall be last and the last shall be first |
| [02:14.89] | The basic instructions before leaving earth |
| [02:17.43] | (x2) |
| [02:28.03] | |
| [02:28.42] | I strolled through the books of Job to unfold |
| [02:30.46] | And open bibles, instead of hoping on revivals |
| [02:33.15] | Calling on His name and screaming hallelujah |
| [02:35.68] | When he hardly knew ya, that's how the devil's fooled ya |
| [02:38.51] | See look into my eyes brethren, that's the lies of a Reverend |
| [02:41.59] | Why should you die to go to heaven? |
| [02:43.83] | The Earth is already in space, the bible I embrace |
| [02:46.97] | A difficult task I had to take |
| [02:49.09] | I studied till my eyes was swollen, and only arose when |
| [02:53.34] | I found out that we were the chosen |
| [02:54.49] | I deal with the truth, and build with the youth |
| [02:57.37] | And teach my son as he kneels on the stoop |
| [02:59.59] | Son, life is a pool of sin, corrupted with foolish men |
| [03:03.14] | And women with wicked minds, who build picket signs |
| [03:05.46] | To illegalize abortion, the evil eye distortion |
| [03:07.89] | I quiz Son with my wisdom |
| [03:10.38] | Before I converted, I was perverted, and knowledge was asserted |
| [03:13.54] | The study of wisdom, I preferred it |
| [03:15.60] | The understanding, it gave me mental freedom |
| [03:18.00] | I even learnt Caucasians were really the Tribe of Edam |
| [03:21.11] | The white image of Christ is really Cesare Borgia |
| [03:23.91] | And uhh, the second son of Pope Alexander |
| [03:26.68] | The Sixth of Rome, and once the picture was shown |
| [03:29.16] | That's how the devils tricked my dome |
| [03:31.22] | I prophesized to save a man, but no one gave a damn |
| [03:34.49] | For my nation - the seed of Abraham |
| [03:36.73] | Blessed with the tongue of Hebrew |
| [03:39.01] | Now we're strung on needles, and some are plungin evils |
| [03:41.85] | So study and be wise in these days of darkness |
| [03:44.60] | Peace to my nephew Marcus |
