Krs-one - Know Thy Self Lyrics
You ready to go? I'm ready to goWhat about y'all, y'all ready to go? (yeah aight yeah) I'm ready to goLook[repeat 3X]Know thy self, and thou shalt knowThe universe and God (whoa-ohh-ohh)God is the mother, the father, the friendKnow ye not that ye must be born again?What does it mean to be in the world but not of itIt means you want the cars the cash the jewels the house but you don't love itIt means to taxes regulation state law you live above itIt means you a FREE hip-hopper, you ain't nobody's puppetYou don't see no money on me, you see it up in the cupboardYou see me up in Toys'R'Us, with my seeds cause they love itYou see insurance flash out, if my kids pass outYou see seven acres of land where we can all spaz outTo all my fathers that fathered, hold your head up for startersTeach your toddlers, not to be thieves and robbersThis that other kind of rap, that leads to true hip-hopThere's other kinds of raps, but they lead you to get shotThe choice is yours, you gettin older nowYou got a kid comin, how you gonna hold it down?It's one thing to be iced out and rocked upWhat's the point if you're gettin locked up?[repeat 3X]Know thy self, and thou shalt knowThe universe and God (whoa-ohh-ohh)God is the mother, the father, the friendKnow ye not that ye must be born again?It's really time we seperate the young men from the big menThe young girls from the women, whatever the title that fit themMy style designed to open a child's mind when I spit themI only got a little bit of time to really rhyme and uplift themYou see them brothers talkin about that crime? Forgive themIt won't be long before they words manife
