the source of my train of thought cant be bought
everything i say is comming from the heart
paint a picture of the world looking good
take your mind out the hood
the ghetto is a state of mind
be an original thinker like albert einstien
look out side the box new things to find different things to see
i can chose who i want to be
i dont need a masters degree
to know that the system played me from a youth
never told me the truth about my roots
where i came from where i got my name from
who i was before i became a jamaican
i was probable a prince a king an emperor in gods eyes
you brought me here and told me civilize
a stranger in an unknown land big up the oppresed nation
the power of the word was here before creation
a nation shall rise immancipation
spiritual harmony is our next destination
only one man can save you
doesn't matter how bad you do
and you know who
