Boogie Down Productions - Blackman In Effect Lyrics
Wake up!Take the pillow from your head and put a book in it.Its time for the massive bdp crew at the top of the pile.Yo. in the morning Im yawning, at noon is when I wake upMake up my bed break up the bread and saidScratching my head, why am I so damn intimidating?Is it because of laws designed to keep us waiting and waitingThus hating all forms of a setbackGet back, if you cant understand a rap act.This is the language of the people ready to hear the crewIve got no juice, cause Im not getting juicedTo have juice means you kiss and lick a lot of bootyTo have respect means you simply new or newlyHeard what I had to say and felt as though youd say that tooIm not down with a juice-crewBut anyway I say today the message I create is greatI dont preach hate, I simply get the record straightIts not the fault of the black race that we are misplacedWere robbin and killin, your own medicine you tasteYou built up a race on the concept of violenceNow in 90 you want silenceWell, I want science, not silence but scienceScientific fact about blackThe board of education acts as if its only realityIs talking bout a tom, dick and harrySo now you learn your black history is questions and answersEvery question but the black panthersTimbuctoo existed when the caveman existedWhy then isnt this listedIs this because the blackman is the original manOr does it mean humanity is africanI dont know, but these sciences are hiddenFor some strange reason its forbiddenTo talk about, or converse on a political outburstI dont believe that Im the firstOr should I say the first one, or the first one thats doneMusic like Im still number oneMusic like that or this is the incredible upliftThose that oppose get dissedBut who will oppose the teacher when societys a wreckSo check the blackmans in effectNear the tigris and euphrates valleys in asiaLies the garden of edenWhere adam became a father to humanityNow dont get mad at meBut according to facts, this seems just fantasyBecause man, the most ancient manWas found thousands of years before adam beganAnd where he was found, again they cant laugh at yaIts right, dead, smack in africaBut due to religious and political powerWe must be denied the facts every hourWe run to school, tryin to get straight asLets take a trip way back in the daysTo the first civilization on earth, the egyptiansGiving birth to science, mathematics and musicReligion, the list goes on, you choose itEgypt was the land of spiritual blessingEgypt was the land of facts, not guessingPeople from all over the world had comeTo learn from egypt, egypt number oneSo people that believe in greek philosophyKnow your facts, egypt was the monopolyGreeks had learned from egyptian mastersYou might say prove it, well heres the answers640 to 322 b.c. originates greek philosophyBut in that era greece was at warWith themselves and persia, whats moreAny philosopher at that time was a criminalHed be killed very simpleThis indicates that greece had no respectFor science or intellectSo how the hell you created philosophyWhen you kill philosophers constantlyThe point is that we descend from kingsScience, art and beautiful thingsAfrican history is the worlds historyThis is the missing link and mysteryOnce we realise they all are africanWhite will sit down with black and laugh againSo judge not least ye might be judgedBy the judgement ye judge, ye shall be judgedMatthew seven, first verse doesnt budgeNo man should walk the earth and sludgezIf you dont believe, you can go and checkTo see how and where the blackmans in effect
