Blackman in Effect

[Intro]

Wake up!

Take the pillow from your head and put a book in it

It's time for the massive BDP crew at the top of the pile

[Verse 1]

In the morning I'm yawning, at noon is when I wake up

Make up my bed break up the bread and said

Scratching my head, why am I so damn intimidating?

Is it because of laws designed to keep us waiting and waiting

Thus aiding all forms of a setback

Get back if you can't understand a rap act

This is the language of the people ready to hear the truth

I've got no juice, cause I'm not getting juiced

To have juice means you kiss and lick a lot of booty

To have respect means you simply knew a Nubie

Heard what I had to say and felt as though you'd say that too

I'm not down with the Juice Crew

But anyway I say today the message I create is great

I don't preach hate, I simply get the record straight

It's not the fault of the black race that we are misplaced

We're robbing and killing, your own medicine you taste

You built up a race on the concept of violence

Now in '90 you want silence

Well, I want science, not silence but science

Scientific fact about black

The board of education acts as if its only reality

Is talking about a Tom, Dick and Harry

So now you learn your black history it's questions and answers

Every question but the Black Panthers

Timbuctu existed when the caveman existed

Why then isn't this listed

Is it because the blackman is the original man

Or does it mean humanity is African

I don't know but these sciences are hidden

For some strange reason it's forbidden

To talk about, or converse on a political outburst

I don't believe that I'm the first

Or should I say the first one, or the first one that's done

Music like I'm still number one

But music like that or this is the incredible uplift

Those that oppose get dissed

But who will oppose the teacher when society's a wreck

So check the blackman's in effect

[Verse 2]

Near the Tigris and Euphrates Valleys in Asia

Lies the Garden of Eden

Where Adam became a father to humanity

Now don't get mad at me

But according to facts, this seems just fantasy

Because man, the most ancient man

Was found thousands of years before Adam began

And where he was found, again they can't laugh at ya

It's right, dead, smack in Africa

But due to religious and political power

We must be denied the facts, every hour

We run to school, trying to get straight A's

Let's take a trip way back in the days

To the first civilization on Earth, the Egyptians

Giving birth to science, mathematics and music

Religion, the list goes on, you choose it

Egypt was the land of spiritual blessing

Egypt was the land of facts, not guessing

People from all over the world had come

To learn from Egypt, Egypt number one

So people that believe in Greek philosophy

Know your facts, Egypt was the monopoly;

Greeks had learned from Egyptian masters

You might say "Prove it", well here's the answers:

640 to 322 B.C. originates Greek philosophy

But in that era Greece was at war

With themselves and Persia once more

Any philosopher at that time was a criminal;

He'd be killed very simple

This indicates that Greece had no respect

For science or intellect

So how the hell you created philosophy

When you killed philosophers constantly?!

The point is is that we descend from kings

Science, art and beautiful things

African history is the world's history

This is the missing link and mystery

Once we realize that all are African

White will sit down with black and laugh again

So judge not least ye may be judged

By the judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged

Matthew seven, first verse doesn't budge

No man should walk the Earth in sludge

If you don't believe, you can go and check

To see how and where the blackman's in effect
