Lyrics

(KRS-One)
 Give it to em!
 Nuff respect! And praise to the creator
 Over the years it seems that I became a
 landmark, in the hip-hop field of art
 I shed light, yet my skin is dark
 I'm not conerned with climbin the chart
 Cause why should you pay when it comes from the heart?
 I'll start, cause only Jah will create it
 I'll just name it, Edutainment
 People sit and they look at my album
 like a problem, they try to solve em
 They don't know, it only leads the way
 to a bright more positive day
 By itself, it's NOT the bright day
 Sit up straight, and hear what I say
 Fear and ignorance, I'm down for stoppin this
 but the bright day is your conciousness
 I am poet, my words will heal you
 I'm not a phony I'll really feel you
 That's why I walk and talk to my nation
 Wherever they are, in any situation
 They usually ask for an autograph
 And I'll whip out the pen and just write Blast-
 -Master, K-R-S, O-N-E
 BDP, Peace and Unity
 But do not concentrate on the paper
 Concentrate on the laws of the creator
 Cause when the paper's gone, it will deceive you
 But Allah will never leave you
 Nothing I say now is hypothetical
 These are the facts, a little metaphysical
 We are one, every heart every lung
 So why then was the black man hung?
 He was hung by the so-called Christians
 that went to church, and did not listen
 See Jesus couldn't stand politics
 so they nailed him to a crucifix
 Then it was that way, today it's a trigger
 So why is the Pope such a political figure?
 I don't know, but it's really beyond me
 But through knowledge, they'll NEVER con me
 Cause from Jesus Christ to right now
 everytime a black man speaks up, KA-POW
 See people concentrate on the leader
 And not the message comin through the speaker
 If the Christians really heard Christ
 the black man never would've lived this life
 My point is that do not concentrate
 on what I state, create, or debate
 I might be great, and you might admire
 But what I say is to take you MUCH higher
 MORE higher than the physical plane
 to the plane of forces in the astral plane
 The mental plane, and the final three
 They're all around you, yet you can't see
 So grab the sphere of life and aim it
 and you'll be guided by Edutainment
