Get wise to the exercise
 Being taught by the teacher that?s most dominant
 You need knowledge?
 Well I?m dropping it
 Listen to the rap allow it to trap
 Your body and soul so that you can adapt
 To the man on display as I take you away
 So may I?
 
 Proud to be a Black man
 Coming exact and
 Giving up to brothers five on the back hand
 Pray for lease and peace upon each other
 With my sisters and brothers
 
 I say the mother, as in the motherland
 But on the other hand, another man
 Tackled and shackled our ancestors
 But we beat him with freedom, so let?s bless the
 Country that we all came from
 Because the moral of it all is we shall overcome
 The cream will keep rising
 We be sizing
 Up, the Asiatic one is enterprising
 Building and building to carry on
 All the way from Malcolm X to Farrakhan
 Martin Luther was a tutor, many were pupils
 Those who fell victim were those without scruples
 However, to sever, we could never
 So hold up the peace sign and stand together
 Take heed to the words that I manifest
 And when I?m through speaking, Marley Marl?ll do the rest

 Take a stand the fight for power
 Cause we?ve been here before the Mayflower
 Living superior abiding by nature
 The history of the Asiatic one paid the
 Price to be paid in slavery
 Like the name of Antonio was gave to me
 But knowledge of self broke every shackle and chain
 Now I declare myself as the Big Daddy Kane
 The teacher, teaching a lesson to be heard
 That?s word, to the mother my brother
 So discover the truth of one another
 Cause here?s the real deal upon our skin color
 Lay down white, yellow, red or pink
 But the color of black is most dominant
 The rising and sizing can never cease
 
 Peace!
