The day begins with a grin   And a prayer to excuse my sins   I can walk anywhere I choose   'Cause everybody listens to the B.D.P. crew      We're not here for glamor or fashion   But here's the question I'm askin'   Why is it young black kids taught black?   They're only taught how to read, write and act      It's like teachin' a dog to be a cat   You don't teach white kids to be black   Why is that? Is it because we're the minority?   Well, black kids follow me      Genesis chapter eleven verse ten   Explains the genealogy of Shem   Chem was a black man in Africa   If you repeat this fact they can't laugh at ya      Genesis fourteen verse thirteen   Abraham steps on the scene   Being a descendant of Shem which is a fact   Means, Abraham too was black      Abraham born in the city of a black man   Called Nimrod, grandson of Kam   Kam had four sons, one was named Canaan   Here, let me do some explaining      Abraham was the father of Isaac   Isaac was the father of Jacob   Jacob had twelve sons for real   And these were the children of Israel      According to Genesis chapter ten   Egyptians descended from Ham   Six hundred years later my brother read up   Moses was born in Egypt      In this era black Egyptians weren't right   They enslaved black Israelites   Moses had to be of the black race   Because he spent forty years in Pharaoh's place      He passed as the Pharaoh's grandson   So he had to look just like him   Yes, my brothers and sisters take this here song   Yo, correct the wrong      The information we get today is just wack   But ask yourself, why is that?      The age of the ignorant rapper is done   Knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone   The stereotype must be lost   That love and peace and knowledge is soft      Do away with that and understand one fact   For love, peace must attack   And attack real strong, stronger than war   To conquer it and its law      Mental pictures, stereotypes and fake history   Reinforces mystery   And when mystery is reinforced   That only means that knowledge has been lost      When you know who you really are   Peace and knowledge shines like a star   I've only shown you a simple fact   It takes a nation of millions to hold us people back      Which is wack but we can correct that   Teach and learn what it is to be black   'Cause they're teachin' birds to be a cat   But ask yourself homeboy, why is that?
