You Must Learn - Live from Caucus Mountain Remix

My man D-Nice, D-Nice is in the booth
 Workin harder than ever
 D-Nice is rockin the sound set tonight
 We're not through, I wanna drop a new style
 Verse One:
 It's calm yet wild the style that I speak
 Just deal with facts and you will never get weak in the heart
 In fact you'll start to illuminate
 Knowledge to others in a song let me demonstrate
 the force of knowledge, knowledge reigned supreme
 The ignorant is ripped to smithereens
 What do you mean when you say I'm rebellious
 Cause I don't accept everything that you're telling us
 What are you selling us the creator dwell in us
 I sit in your unknown class while you're failing us
 I failed your class cause I ain't with your reasoning
 You're tryin make me you by seasoning
 Up my mind with see Jane run
 See John walk in a hardcore New York
 Come on now, that's like a chocolate cow
 It doesn't exist no way, no how
 It seems to me that in a school that's ebony
 African history should be pumped up steadily, but it's not
 and this has got to stop
 See Spot run, run get Spot
 Insulting to a Black mentality
 A Black way of life or a jet Black family
 So I include with one concern, that
 You must learn
 (Yo Kris) What?
 Hold up D, hold up D
 We gonna see if they really ready for this
 Are y'all having fun tonight?
 I said are y'all having fun tonight?
 Verse Two:
 I believe that if you're teaching history
 Deal with straight up facts no mystery
 Teach the student what needs to be taught
 Cause Black and White kids both take shorts
 When one doesn't know about the other ones' culture
 Ignorance swoops down like a vulture
 Cause you don't know that you ain't just a janitor
 No one told you about Benjamin Banneker
 A brilliant Black man that invented the almanac
 Can't you see where KRS is coming at
 With Elie Whitney, Haile Selassie
 Granville Woods made the walkie talkie
 Lewis Lattimer improved on Edison
 Charles Drew did a lot for medicine
 Garrett Morgan made the traffic lights
 Harriett Tubman freed the slaves at night
 Madame CJ Walker made a straightin comb
 But you won't know this is you weren't shown
 The point I'm gettin at it it might be harsh
 Is we're just walkin' around brainwashed
 So what I'm sayin is not to diss em man
 We need the 89 school system
 One that caters to a Black fratern because
 You must learn
 Whattup cameraman?
 Let me here you say hoooo!
 We're not through with the ragga stuff
 We're not through with the raggamuffin stuff yet man
 Verse Three:
 Akebulan is the original name
 Of Africa now stripped of it's fame
 It's good to note, that in ancient times
 Egyptians developed all sciences of the mind
 To the point where they ruled the planet
 But Rome, Greece and Persia wasn't havin it
 They attacked, and won the war
 But it wasn't enough, they had to get to the core
 Cause in that time it was Akebulan
 That ruled religion, politics and man
 In order to destroy the Egyptian race
 They had to wipe the sciences, from off the face of the planet
 So they proceeded to ban it
 Then replace it with Christianity
 And it's, been that way, all the way to today
 Learn what we teach, hear what we say
 But here comes the K-the-R-the-S-the-O-the-N-the-E
 The BDP and we rhyme intelligently
 Let me continue with Theodosyius
 A Greek ruler not known to most of us
 He in the fourth century A.D.
 Calls the Egyptians fools you see
 Two years later, Justinian rules
 Six A.D., was it for schools
 As a result, ignorance had swirled
 Over Christian Europe and grateful Roman worlds
 This went on for a thousand years
 Of ignorance stupidity and tears
 Now comes the seventeenth century hardness
 Europe, began to come out of it's darkness
 So J.F. Blumenbach, a German
 Came out of nowhere and started confirming
 White supremacy and men of colors
 Before this time, all men were brothers
 It was Johann, who went on to say
 There are five different colors in the world today
 That's caucasian, malayan, and mongolian
 American-indian, and ethiopian
 Yes, the ignorance gets scarier
 He believed whites were superior
 According to his idiotic fountain
 The purest whites were from the Caucas mountains
 J A Blofener, and H S Chamberlain
 Both supported this outrageous racism
 This went on to what the master race should be
 And why they killed the Jews in Germany
 Here is the reason why I'm so concerned
 Because you, must, learn
 We're not done, we're not done, we're not done
