Krs-one - Human Nature (Now Breathe) lyrics

[Verse 1: Rakaa Iriscience] Since the serpent and the apple in the Garden of Eden Earth to satisfy man's need, not greed Ignoring direct orders, forbidden but still eaten Mankind getting pulled over for speedin' Sunset, pollution brings a beautiful haze Rich red waves, orange lavender fades Breathtaking in a number of ways Real hip display, kids struggle to play They manufacture as long as the haves grab it Have-nots want it as long as the haves have it Read the product codes on bags made of plastic Mountains thrown away like trashcans are magic It takes a lot for the boss to feel the loss Smoke billowing, chariots expelling exhaust Into the sky, deep, now peep the new heat Smog looks like fog rolling in on the street Now breathe [Hook: KRS-ONE] Understand that I am the breeze and the trees Oceans and seas [Verse 2: Rakaa Iriscience] Truth is inconvenient at times, nonetheless When I call it how I see it it rhymes, I'm one of the best Greenhouse conspiracies, Exxon secrets Icecaps melting, oceans swelling Voices conflict but they clearly yelling But I don't buy the climate or the fear they selling Reality is scary enough, easing the plane down Out of baby blue skies into L.A., gray-brown You, feels like it's you against billions I know, homies trip ‘cause you mad at oil spills The furs, the baby seals, how big business k**s That we don't inherit Earth, we borrow it from our children The whole system is outta order Chickens coming home to roost, clucking round the corner Real power we can give to our sons and daughters Is the knowledge of the power of the wind, sun, and water Now breathe [Hook] [Verse 3: KRS-One] Understand that I am the breeze and the trees Oceans and seas I'm floatin' with ease with the dopest MCs When I spit entertaining cats don't want to leave ‘Cause locks are not just opened up with keys What you know, you perceive It's dope what I wrote and nope it don't freeze In fact it heats up, so let's bring the streets up Makin' ‘em weep up Look, the brain and the mind are not the same Why blame your true natures, your true name Life is a game and the way you play it Starts with your own name and the way you say it How do you see you? How would you be you? I'm KRS-One with my Dilated Peoples This how the streets do, teach you People died so we could do what we do, man Now breathe [Sample] As we moved on to other cities, towns, and countries, we started spreading the ideology of the hip hop culture as well as the universal wisdom of Zulu Nation, which stands for knowledge, wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, and equality, peace, unity, love, and havin' fun, overcome the negative to the positive, science, mathematics, faith, and the wonders of God, whether you call the Supreme Force Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, Elohim, Jah, Ra, Anu, El Kuluwm The All, we are all of the All, and All is all of us
