[00:00.00][Intro: Manny Scott] | |
[00:00.00] | The word is not simply a scribbled symbol or a spoken sound |
[00:04.70] | The word is not like a roaring lion that no one really fears |
[00:08.83] | No, the word has power |
[00:12.65] | And it can be your most trusted friend or your most terrible foe |
[00:17.93] | You see like a seed, the word gives life |
[00:21.02] | Like a lamp, the word gives light |
[00:23.89] | Like a mirror the word reflects |
[00:27.46] | Like water, the word washes |
[00:30.08] | Like fire, the word cleanses |
[00:33.27] | Like a hammer, the word shatters |
[00:35.99] | Like a sword, the word cuts |
[00:39.26] | Oh but like medicine, the word heals |
[00:43.12] | And like a counselor, the word comforts |
[00:47.44] | You see the word is alive, and it is waiting |
[00:52.59] | Waiting for you to summon it like a soldier |
[00:56.20] | And send it forth into battle, so speak |
[01:00.10][Verse 1: Dizzy Wright] | |
[01:00.10] | They tell me I sound like a prophet, feeding my niggas with knowledge |
[01:03.63] | Mistaken it's been too much faking, thorough nigga business we keeping it solid |
[01:07.59] | I’m ready to (teach and learn), educating for this heaven on earth |
[01:11.65] | Overcoming all my family doubts, the man of the house no man to observe |
[01:15.88] | (Shit can get worse but we pulling through) |
[01:18.06] | I’m illuminating that entire equation, creating |
[01:20.88] | I know you can't see it right now but I’m teaching my niggas to be better communicators |
[01:25.13] | They dumbing us down, one by one hunting us down |
[01:27.98] | I try not to sound like a preacher |
[01:29.43] | But if our daughters and sons are kings and queens they have to be prepped to be leaders |
[01:33.84] | (Follow and order his steps, the man with the plan gets most the respect) |
[01:37.47] | So I’m bowing down with my hands together forever praying for anyone losing they strength |
[01:42.58] | (We in this together right?) |
[01:44.02] | There’s reasons for you to believe it, inspired when found it in what I was reading |
[01:47.72] | And now I feel like it's what I should be teaching, starting with the First Agreement |
[01:52.74][Chrous: Nikkiya] | |
[01:52.74] | I’ll remain humble and my heart is always open |
[02:00.38] | Cause I understand behind every great man is some situations |
[02:08.60] | As I look into your eyes |
[02:12.40] | I see the pain that I’ve caused, and so I apologize |
[02:25.74][Verse 2: Dizzy Wright] | |
[02:25.74] | To my single parents that's young, mama's not holding her tongue |
[02:29.96] | It’s a shame but even through all of your pain I hope you teach your child how to love |
[02:34.04] | I’m loving they feeling we doing it right for my niggas that's losing they sight |
[02:38.28] | You cannot criticize anything that you do if you’re always a student to life |
[02:42.78] | (A product of truth) |
[02:43.93] | Sad part if it’s hard to be yourself you’re a part of it too |
[02:47.00] | (Now I’m breaking it down) |
[02:48.49] | so it’s understanding me philosophy comes with the proof |
[02:51.44] | Success requires a push, straight forward is the only way to look |
[02:55.67] | I heard if you wanna hide something from a nigga, the best way to do it is to put it in the books |
[02:59.85] | So they making shit difficult, Imma talk about the principles in general as individuals |
[03:04.47] | You balling, you made it, you happy and flexing, every rapper story sound identical |
[03:08.57] | (You seeking a better life) |
[03:10.11] | There’s reasons for you to believe it |
[03:11.90] | I picked up a book and was reading and now I feel like it’s what I should be teaching |
[03:16.19] | Starting with the First Agreement |
