    The basic instructions before leaving earth (3x)

    Chorus: repeat 2x

    Life is a test many quest the universe
    And through my research, i felt the joy and the hurt
    The first shall be last and the last shall be first
    The basic instructions before leaving earth

    Verse one:

    Knowledge this wisdom, this goes back when i was twelve
    I loved doing right but i was trapped in hell
    Had mad ideas, sad eyes and tears
    Years of fears, but yo my foes couldn't bear
    I searched for the truth since my youth
    And went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the loot
    That i was paying, plus the praying
    I didn't like staying cuz of busy-bodies and dizzy hotties
    That the preacher had souped up with lies
    Had me cooped up lookin at loot, butt, and thighs
    Durin the service, he swallowed up the poor
    And after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor
    But i ignored, and explored my history that was untold
    And watched mysteries unfold
    And dropped a jewel like solomon, but never followed men
    Cause if you do your brain is more hollow than
    Space oblivia, or the abyss
    With no trace of trivia, left with the hiss
    Does it pay to be deaf, dumb and blind?
    From a slave we was kept from the mind
    And from the caves he crept from behind
    And what he gave, was the sect of the swine
    When the bible, it condemned the pig
    I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigs
    But we used to wear a turban, but now we're in the urban
    No more wearing beanies and dress like a genie
    No hocus pocus cause i focus on the facts
    And put it on the tracks and brought it through the wax
    I speak on jacob, it might take up some time
    And too much knowledge, it might break up the rhyme
    I did it anyway just to wake up the mind
    Of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet
    Those who sit home, or sell books by the market
    Need to chill and get their mind revived
    For years religion did nothing but divide
    The basic instructions before leaving earth

    Chorus

    Verse two:

    I strolled through the books of job to unfold
    And open bibles, instead of hoping on revivals
    Calling on his name and screaming hallelujah
    When he hardly knew ya, that's how the devil's fooled ya
    See look into my eyes brethren, that's the lies of a reverand
    Why should you die to go to heaven?
    The earth is already in space, the bible i embrace
    A difficult task i had to take
    I studied till my eyes was swollen, and only arose when
    I found out that we were the chosen
    I deal with the truth, and build with the youth
    And teach my son as he kneels on the stoop
    Son, life is a pool of sin, corrupted with foolish men
    And women with wicked minds, who build picket signs
    To legalize abortion, the evil eye distortion
    I quiz son with my wisdom
    Before i converted, i was perverted, and knowledge was asserted
    The study of wisdom, i perferred it
    The understanding, it gave me mental freedom
    I even learnt caucasians were really the tribe of edam
    The white image, of christ, is really cesare borgia
    And uhh, the second son of pope alexander
    The sixth of rome, and once the picture was shown
    That's how the devils tricked my dome
    I prophesized to save a man, but no one gave a damn
    For my nation - the seed of abraham
    Blessed with the tongue of hebrew
    Now we're strung on needles, and some are plungin evils
    So study and be wise in these days of darkness
    Peace to my nephew marcus

    The basic instructions before leaving earth

    Chorus: repeat to fade
