RZA, Daddy-O - The Birth lyrics

Yeah, you know what I mean? 'Cause yo
This right here this is
Called Knowledge of Self
When you apply that to yourself
You know yourself you know what I'm saying?
Yo it's gonna get your third eye open
You can see things for what they are
And not what they appear to be
When the God gave me the knowledge
And pass this information to me, it's just-
Whatever, the God right there
Yo Peace, Born Knowledge, Peace God
Peace what up Bobby?
Yo, yo, don't even call me Bobby no more, man
What I call you? My name is Prince Rakeem
You know what I'm saying?
What's Today's Mathematics?
I see Today's Mathematics is being wisdom
Let me explain like this to you God
How I see it



Ever since my Birth (don't worry)
I've had no one to care
(worried all I know yeah)

They say wisdom, is the wise words spoken
By a brother attemptin' to open
The graves, of these mentally dead slaves
Who've been lost on a cross, for decades
And centuries, lookin' for the liberty
But receive nothin', but misery
And hard times, and things of that nature
By the devil in a genocide caper
Little Boy Peep, has lost his sheep
But, I found 'em, in a deep long sleep
Nine thousand miles away from home
Livin' the life of a modern day Flintstone
We the people, supposed to be equal
But the men who wrote that, they was evil
Slave owners, who did not include us
They just used us, and abused us
First they trick you, then mentally kill you
And use technologies, to rebuild you
This whole plan was a perfect scam
See that's why they called it
The Six Million Dollar Man
Six is the limitation of the Devil
In the Million square miles of
Land that he settles
Put you in a three piece suit, give you loot
Chemicals in your head to make you look cute
They use you as a fool
To deceive your own people
And fillin' my children head
With pins and needles
But, I'll take out the pins you inserted
And I'll avenge all my
Mothers that you murdered and brutalized
By this modern form of slavery
To speak the truth it takes bravery
And no man could stop my flow
Because I know what I speak and
I speak what I know

What, becomes of a broken family?
Dreams are crushed and there's no more family

Ever since my Birth (don't worry)
I've had no one to care
(worried all I know yeah)

Yo, as a life can be slowed
Down 20 frames per second
Seen through Panavision
The inner light inside my mind's
Shines expands the prism
A man of wisdom, victorious and the glorious
Sight beyond sight we stand
Up as Divine Warriors
Who smite with the mighty right hand of God
Yield the holy sword, swings the holy rod
Then bathe in the pond of Nirvana
Escape the realm of Karma
Allow the true grace of God
To shine through my persona
And build the reconstructional
Terms that's constructive
As we destroy the negative
Germs that's destructive
Productively, sincerely
We uphold the righteous banner
With the gold touch of Midas
Mold the righteous hammer
And anvil, to the sound of Man-drill
Ignite to the speed of light
Cause time to stand still
Rewrite the script of Egypt
Who made the Holy Bible
Or Koran, how long ago
Who made the Holy Title?
Of I Self Lord And Master
Who control the vital parts of your heart
Who wrote the wise recitals?
Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah, Arm-Leg-Leg-Arm-Head
Still puzzled like the jigsaw

Ever since my Birth (don't worry)
I've had no one to care
(worried all I know yeah)
