I ain't goin'<br>I'm gone<br>Up up up and away<br>And I'm on<br>A higher plane<br>With a brain<br>With a flame<br>Feel the fire<br>Desire the same<br>Knowledge and wisdom<br>And understanding<br>Possessed by gods<br>Transferred to man in<br>A script of a book<br>A scripture that looks<br>Like a biblical writing<br>Inviting a hook<br>Of a song sing along with a strong<br>Subliminal<br>Message divesting all men from<br>Criminal<br>Acts of the devil<br>Revealed and reveled<br>Designed to recline the mind to lower level<br>With no spiritual level<br>Read the holy koran<br>Or the bible<br>Because it's liable<br>To be a revival<br>For the weak who seek power it'll bring<br>Infallible power<br>Knowledge is king<br>Knowledge<br>Who wants some<br>Come get it<br>A battle is a test of wits<br>And I'm witted<br>Hard beats a torch<br>And I lit it<br>Stop the music<br>Alright hit it<br>Now that it feels good<br>I'm heating up<br>I feed off knowledge<br>And can't get enough<br>Knowledge is infinite<br>Suckers ain't into it<br>Ignorance is bliss<br>And they're kin to it<br>Party and dance<br>And don't ever glance<br>At a book or look<br>For their mind to advance<br>Caught in a rut<br>Chasing butt<br>Trying to get a dollar<br>Or trying to get a nut<br>Evil feeds<br>Off a source of apathy<br>Weak in the mind<br>And of course you have to be<br>Less than a man<br>More like a thing<br>No knowledge you're nothin'<br>Knowledge is king<br>Knowledge<br>My rhymes make<br>A meak mind anorexic<br>You can't hang without slang<br>So eject it<br>I've selected<br>Rhymes for records<br>To affect the effect<br>Of the rhyme that left<br>Hangin' like a pound<br>That came down<br>But you're hangin' the brain<br>So your brain's hell-bound<br>Lost and found<br>By the serpent's sound<br>What you don't know<br>Can't hurt that's profound<br>Or absurd<br>A better word<br>An ingnorant fool<br>Is a real cool nerd<br>Pockets are fat<br>With an empty head<br>Got a little fame and a name<br>And you're brain dead<br>You count dollars<br>So ya think ya in<br>What good is knowing how to count<br>If you don't know when<br>And history today<br>And it will equal the future<br>Repetitive mistakes<br>Cause the brain ain't acute ya<br>Need knowledge<br>To understand<br>The concept of sacrifice<br>But man don't understand<br>So we have to fight<br>War<br>Killing people we never<br>Saw before<br>Most don't eden know<br>What they're killin' for<br>Following rulers<br>Instead of the prophets<br>The wicked can rule ya<br>But the knowledge can stop it<br>Souls can't be controlled<br>It's a spiritual thing<br>But you got the knowledge<br>Knowledge is king<br>Knowledge<br>My knowledge comes<br>From a spiritual force<br>Stonger than any<br>Earthly source<br>Propaganda<br>Hype or slander<br>I won't believe the hype<br>I understand the<br>Media dictates<br>The mind and rotates<br>The way you think<br>And syncopates slow pace<br>Brains<br>Can't maintain<br>Acertain<br>Insipid inane crass rain<br>Insane lame<br>Traditions<br>All praise fame<br>Positions<br>Want to be a star<br>Drive a big car<br>Live bourgeios<br>Ane won't know who you are<br>Lost in the source<br>And praising the dollar<br>Whether your faith is<br>Christ or allah<br>The knowledge of god<br>Will teach one thing<br>The dollar is moot<br>Knowledge is king
