[Intro: Cappadonna]

Knowledge is the knoalition, also too respect

Knowledge is the foundation of all things in existence

Such as the sun is the foundation of the solar system

and the Asiatic black man is the foundation of his family



[Chorus x3: Cappadonna]

It's nice to be important but it's even more important to be nice

[some kids] "Got to find a way"



[Cappadonna]

That's my word, check one, check two



Donna makes one sacrifice, what?

Started to change when the days got strange

No more hand-to-hand, strictly campaigns

It's all economics, hard times and trick-knowledgy

Champagne, caviar, psychology

Practice to be me, strivin for equality

Buildin, I believe the children like Whitney and Walt Disney



[some kids] "Got to find a way"



Uh, uh, it's like that y'all and you don't quit

Shit that make you fall in love with it



[Chorus x2]



[Cappadonna]

In the Days of Our Lives we could all feel the pain

when all of this children trapped in the game

Playin hookie from school, just ain't the same

When the guns get bigger, I worry 'bout the kids

The knucklehead ones with the elevator, bid

Trapped in America, it's hard to escape

The Projects, life is like the Planet of the Apes

When all of these kids be buggin wild off the tapes

It's your mindstate shorty, tellin you to be late

Do your homework kid, keep your mind out the dirt

You're only eighteen and you don't know who you hurt

I love you like a little brother, here's a razor

Carry that wise son, treasure what I gave ya



[Chorus x2]



[Cappadonna]

Long time no so, long time suffer

As the days get tougher, rougher on Don

I wanted help but first let me help myself

Have a care of my family, black libarian lady

Run right beside me, no public assistance

Long distance, I touch man, woman and child

Diet and stretch, architect with the finesse

Chain heat, brain stained with the horror

I'm a father of two, Wu Killa Bee lethal

I worked hard for mine, intwined up inside

Energy junkie, fertilize this twice, enough spice

I teach Lo, say no to drugs, say yes to more money

I'm a Transformer when your days get sunny

I'm your number one performer, pray for the all time great

Take a toast if you love Ghost, I'll be there

Beware, take caution, often I've seen these streets are gettin mean

Less rest, put the whole world to a test

Try to survive, archive five, strangle with lies

Last days of the hive, it's the Second Coming

I'm a secretary of Wu, official article post up

More dictionaries, read heavy notes, both coasts come together

Never be blind, protect all of mankind



[Chorus x4]



[some kids to fade] "Got to find a way"
