Remember yourself
Put yourself back together
Re Mind Yourself
Sit back relax and reacquaint yourself
Get back to that original
Primitive, savage naked self
Brace yourself, Recreate yourself, Make yourself
For too long you've been taught to hate yourself
Man don't forsake yourself
Re awake yourself, take yourself much higher
History's not our story, man the Devil is a liar
Listen to nothin' the outside world says about you
The world is madе to reroute you
Distract you and then doubt you
Most thеse rappers bout the world
KRS is about you
So remember what I taught you
About how the 'in' and the 'out' do
Go inside your inner city quickly going in you
Have an interview with that energy that's within you
Ask yourself: why you? Why now? Why here?
Then it becomes quite clear
You are divine you should not fear
Bills, you should not fear
Thrills, you should not stare
Focus your attention on G-O-D which is right here
Re Mind Yourself
Put Yourself Back Together
Re Connect
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Listen!
No-one's ever gonna tell you that you are divine
Cuz they ain't reached that mind in all this time
They still are blind
They tell you get in line, follow them and look for signs
Man that's baby milk, here's the raw meat
Yo it's cookin' time!
It's the way in which you look at brain and look at mind
You thinkin' they the same but if you look again you'll find
The whole design of nature's really from a gifted mind
A divine mind, outside of what we call space and time
This divine mind is what creates brains, hearts, and livers
This divine mind produces butterflies from caterpillars
And everything that quivers
Brains don't make brains, the process of birth does
I'm telling you: life is a game
With it's own mind, it's own name, and it's own aim
It's simple and plain
Divine mind produces all brains
You are a divine mind first, which then produces your brain
Divine intelligence or God, that's from which you came
Remember Yourself
Put Yourself Back Together
Re Mind Yourself
[Outro by Dr. Ivan Van Sertima]
The word Christ is an African word: K-R-S-T
Then the Greeks later on took that up
Romans they called Christus
It is first appears in African, KRST
The concept of the Christ
The eighth form, the seven stages or forms of man
Which then become the supreme, divine form, the Christ
And you have Christianity before Christ
The idea, the concepts, even the words, even the images
The Virgin birth, the Three Kings
Those are Egyptian ideas
Those were the three great stars on the pyramid
The three Kings
They then became the three powers on Earth that came to worship the Divine form
It's all there
It's on the temples of Lao Tzu before the birth of Jesus
