I'm not delusional,

This most likely is your first experience with me.

Greetings, my name is Propaganda.

I wrote my first rap in '93.

Simply put:

Fire baptized battle rapper who's heavily

Influenced By folk music and found

Creative freedom in poetry.

Combo is strange, I know,

But let this one bake your noodle.

I'm the son of a black panther,

With a Mexican spouse,

And Caucasian best friends.

And my writing tone, now,

Is not one that offers you a neat little bow

to tie all of your little problems up with.

I learned enough to know that

I don't know that much.

I know God became a man to save us

And we still can't explain pyramids.

I know ancient Mayans and Egyptian

Astronomers had a far greater

Understanding of outerspace than we do.

I know Acadamia is so drunk on

Arrogance and racism;

That they would rather credit these

Accomplishments to aliens than to admit

That we are not the smartest 

Civilization to ever live.

I know I really love my wife,

My daughter, and mangos.

And for some reason folks find it illogical

To think that a perfectly designed

Universe screams of a designer.

I know sarcasm is really the only time


People tell the truth.

I know Cheelay Kelay is an in and

Out that will be served in heaven.

I know it's a much better decision to shut

Your mouth when you don't know what

You're talking about than to validate

What everybody already thinks of you.

I know c..theory very well,

I have a degree in illustration and

Intercultural studies,

And a teaching credential,

Yet I rap for a living, let that sink in.

Apparently I don't know that much.

I just know the Gospel and good hip hop.

I'm a pretty simple dude,

All I got is my all

And I promise to give you that.

You don't lower standards,

Lower the culture.

The Roman Empire was destroyed because of

Lower standards and world decay.

You know they fed each other to

Lions for entertainment.

Humans, when left to their own devices

Seem to be hopelessly selfish

And bent on their own destruction.

It seems that unless a power greater

Than us captures our hearts,

Nothing will change that trejectory.

Wealth, knowledge, success, seems to

Only feed the beast;

But don't listen to me,

we just met,

What do I know?
