Blackman In Effect Lyrics

    Wake up!
    Take the pillow from your head and put a book in it.
    It's time for the massive bdp crew at the top of the pile.

    Yo. in the morning i'm yawning, at noon is when i wake up
    Make up my bed break up the bread and said
    Scratching my head, why am i so damn intimidating?
    Is it because of laws designed to keep us waiting and waiting
    Thus hating all forms of a setback
    Get back, if you can't understand a rap act.
    This is the language of the people ready to hear the crew
    I've got no juice, 'cause i'm not getting juiced
    To have juice means you kiss and lick a lot of booty
    To have respect means you simply new or newly
    Heard what i had to say and felt as though you'd say that too
    I'm not down with a juice-crew
    But anyway i say today the message i create is great
    I don't preach hate, i simply get the record straight
    It's not the fault of the black race that we are misplaced
    We're robbin' and killin', your own medicine you taste
    You built up a race on the concept of violence
    Now in '90 you want silence
    Well, i want science, not silence but science
    Scientific fact about black
    The board of education acts as if it's only reality
    Is talking 'bout a tom, dick and harry
    So now you learn your black history is questions and answers
    Every question but the black panthers
    Timbuctoo existed when the caveman existed
    Why then isn't this listed
    Is this because the blackman is the original man
    Or does it mean humanity is african
    I don't know, but these sciences are hidden
    For some strange reason it's forbidden
    To talk about, or converse on a political outburst
    I don't believe that i'm the first
    Or should i say the first one, or the first one that's done
    Music like i'm still number one
    Music like that or this is the incredible uplift
    Those that oppose get dissed
    But who will oppose the teacher when society's a wreck
    So check the blackman's in effect

    Near the tigris and euphrates valleys in asia
    Lies the garden of eden
    Where adam became a father to humanity
    Now don't get mad at me
    But according to facts, this seems just fantasy
    Because man, the most ancient man
    Was found thousands of years before adam began
    And where he was found, again they can't laugh at ya
    It's right, dead, smack in africa
    But due to religious and political power
    We must be denied the facts every hour
    We run to school, tryin' to get straight a's
    Let's take a trip way back in the days
    To the first civilization on earth, the egyptians
    Giving birth to science, mathematics and music
    Religion, the list goes on, you choose it
    Egypt was the land of spiritual blessing
    Egypt was the land of facts, not guessing
    People from all over the world had come
    To learn from egypt, egypt number one
    So people that believe in greek philosophy
    Know your facts, egypt was the monopoly
    Greeks had learned from egyptian masters
    You might say "prove it", well here's the answers
    640 to 322 b.c. originates greek philosophy
    But in that era greece was at war
    With themselves and persia, what's more
    Any philosopher at that time was a criminal
    He'd be killed very simple
    This indicates that greece had no respect
    For science or intellect
    So how the hell you created philosophy
    When you kill philosophers constantly
    The point is that we descend from kings
    Science, art and beautiful things
    African history is the worlds history
    This is the missing link and mystery
    Once we realise they all are african
    White will sit down with black and laugh again
    So judge not least ye might be judged
    By the judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged
    Matthew seven, first verse doesn't budge
    No man should walk the earth and sludgez
    If you don't believe, you can go and check
    To see how and where the blackman's in effect
