People of the world wherever you be

welcome to Cosmic YOUniversity.

Where life is the journey and love is the trip



And the study of them will make you hip.

I'm professor of the rap and when I speak

I guarantee that my lines will not be weak.

They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste



That's why I'm here and on the case.



Rapping up every mind with a special degree in socio-psycholo G.B.E.

The Gary Byrd Experience is my course



When you take my class you will feel the force.

'Cause I know the roots that the rap is from



When I speak to you I am not dumb.

Hear my rap and begin to dance

and I promise you this you will advance.

You may have seen the Raiders of the Lost Ark



But you still lefl the theatre in the darkl

So clap your hands to the beat as the Wondersound



And the G.B.E. shine on the Crown.



You wear the Crown

I wear the Crown



So proud to say that we all wear the Crown

the Crown.



I do recall so very well

when I was just a little boy



I used to hurry home from school

I used to always feel so blue



Because there was no mention in the books

we read about my heritage.

So therefore any information that I got was education.

Bums

hobos at depot stations

I would listen with much patience



Or to relatives who told the tales that they were told to pass ahead.

And then one day from someone old

I heard a story never told



Of all the kingdoms of my people

and then how we fought for freedom



All about the many things we have unto the world contributed.

You wear the crown. - We wear the crown - we wear the Crown.



It's not Star Wars

it's not Superman

it's not the story of the Ku-Klux-Klan.

The crown will appear in the G.B.E.

but it's never seen on your T.V.

It's in black and white in your gold mind

a picture so old it defies time.

Alex Haley drew it in his book

it's what Kunta kept in his other foot.

Ghana Songhay and old Mali

they are the roots of your own family tree.

Kingdom so vast and knowledge wise



They removed cataracts from human eyes.

And yet today some refuse to see

and live in fear of their discovery.

Now in fourteen hundred and ninety-two Columbus sailed to ocean - true.

But years before in Alkebu a ship set sail with a chocolate crew.

2000 years before Columbo came

the Olmecs paid tribute to their fame.

Stone heads with faces eight feet high

that the Hulk could not lifl to his thig

Though the facts historians avoid

first to arrive was the Africoid.

It may shock the House and Shockley

too



And if you're not prepared it may shock you



While some had doubts that the world was round.

In America guess who wore the Crown.

I wear the Crown

you wear the Crown



So proud to say that we all wear the Crown

get down.

You wear the Crown

I wear the Crown



So proud to say that we all wear the Crown

the Crown.
