Big Daddy Kane - Word To The Mother (land) lyrics

Grab a hold of yourself, open your eyes Get wise to the exercise Being taught by the teacher that You need knowledge? Well i Listen to the rap allow it to trap Your body and soul so that you can adapt To the man on display as i take you away So may i? Proud to be a black man Coming exact and Giving up to brothers five on the back hand Pray for lease and peace upon each other With my sisters and brothers I say the mother, as in the motherland But on the other hand, another man Tackled and shackled our ancestors But we beat him with freedom, so let Country that we all came from Because the moral of it all is we shall overcome The cream will keep rising We be sizing Up, the asiatic one is enterprising Building and building to carry on All the way from malcolm x to farrakhan Martin luther was a tutor, many were pupils Those who fell victim were those without scruples However, to sever, we could never So hold up the peace sign and stand together Take heed to the words that i manifest And when i Take a stand the fight for power Cause we Living superior abiding by nature The history of the asiatic one paid the Price to be paid in slavery Like the name of antonio was gave to me But knowledge of self broke every shackle and chain Now i declare myself as the big daddy kane The teacher, teaching a lesson to be heard That So discover the truth of one another Cause here Lay down white, yellow, red or pink But the color of black is most dominant The rising and sizing can never cease Peace!
