Blackman In Effect Lyrics - Singles - Boogie Down Productions

Blackman in Effect KRS-ONE and D-Nice 

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 sludge 

If you don't believe, you can go and check 

To see how and where the blackman's in effect
