Jahi - Spread The Words lyrics

[Verse 1: Chuck D] A wise man once said, "Keep the laws I'll write the songs, make the world applaud" To the word unheard, social cause Raptivism, the evil on pause Praise the loud, pray the Lord Spread the words, spare the sword System flawed, lock all the doors Here come these damn rappers, so hit the floor On art and artist, there's a difference Between censorship and senseless sh** And I swear to God some don't know the difference And everybody swer they comin' with that different sh** Bustin' caps but ain't captured it Without really doin' it, and so they spit Disturb so-called heads only hear the heads heard Plus they spread the words [Verse 2: Jasiri X] Chuck D is president, hip-hop is medicine And Hot 97 it is never been a resident We represent the president, definite, we the measurement I write to the apostles' gospel the New Testament I'm a disciple of that Golden Era cycle With P.E.'s "A Nation of Millions..." is like the Bible 2Pac taught me my Hail Mary's And Mobb Deep showed me that I was in hell already Rakim told me that the third realm was deadly And ghetto ba*tard in this treacherous world so we held machete's Nas told me to cut the gra** low to see all snakes I don't need to check my Instagram to see y'all fakes Lines on composition paper, that means we all straight But what's a God MC to a evolved ape? In the beginning was the word so we spread the message Honored I'm at the table breakin' bread with the legends Jasiri X [Verse 3: Jahi] Some spread word like germs, let me get it disinfected Misguided, misdirected, ears disrespected Protect your dome and your children from the garbage Words are seeds, I'm plantin' a new harvest Just because you make words rhyme, that don't make you a MC Digital clones in 3D When I flow the power of Nommo word to Dogon Some rappers need to pack up, get up, and get gone No space and time for your fast food lines Stinkin' up the airwaves smellin' swine Verbal pollution without no solutions Dancin' to the beat of mayhem and confusion My war cry over break beats Eatin' up bean pie, readin' up "Mohammad Speaks" Teach them to flow snares and samples Show 'em a better way and lead by example
