Chorus: repeat 2X
 Life is a test many quest the universe
 And through my research  I felt the joy and the hurt
 The first shall be last and the last shall be first
 The basic instructions before leaving earth
 Verse One:
 Knowledge this wisdom  this goes back when I was twelve
 I loved doing right but I was trapped in hell
 Had mad ideas, sad eyes and tears
 Years of fears, but yo my foes couldn't bear
 I searched for the truth since my youth
 And went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the loot
 that I was paying, plus the praying
 I didn't like staying cuz of busy-bodies and dizzy hotties
 That the preacher had souped up with lies
 Had me cooped up lookin at loot, butt, and thighs
 Durin the service, he swallowed up the poor
 And after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor
 But I ignored, and explored my history that was untold
 And watched mysteries unfold
 And dropped a jewel like Solomon, but never followed men
 cause if you do your brain is more hollow than
 Space oblivia, or the abyss
 With no trace of trivia, left with the hiss
 Does it pay to be deaf, dumb and blind?
 From a slave we was kept from the mind
 And from the caves he crept from behind
 And what he gave, was the sect of the swine
 When the bible, it condemned the pig
 I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your qigs
 But we used to wear a turban, but now we're in the urban
 No more wearing beanies and dress like a genie
 No hocus pocus cause I focus on the facts
 And put it on the tracks and brought it through the wax
 I speak on Jacob, it might take up some time
 And too much knowledge, it might break up the rhyme
 I did it anyway just to wake up the mind
 of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet
 Those who sit home, or sell books by the market
 Need to chill and get their mind revived
 For years religion did nothing but divide
 The basic instructions before leaving earth
 Chorus
 Verse Two:
 I strolled through the books of Job to unfold
 And open bibles, instead of hoping on revivals
 Calling on His name and screaming hallelujah
 when he hardly knew ya, that's how the devil's fooled ya
 See look into my eyes brethren, that's the lies of a Reverand
 Why should you die to go to heaven?
 The Earth is already in space, the bible I embrace
 A difficult task I had to take
 I studied till my eyes was swollen, and only arose when
 I found out that we were the chosen
 I deal with the truth, and build with the youth
 And teach my son as he kneels on the stoop
 Son, life is a pool of sin, corrupted with foolish men
 and women with wicked minds, who build picket signs
 to legalize abortion, the evil eye distortion
 I quiz Son with my wisdom
 Before I converted, I was perverted, and knowledge was asserted
 The study of wisdom, I perferred it
 The understanding, it gave me mental freedom
 I even learnt Caucasians were really the Tribe of Edam
 The white image, of Christ, is really Cesare Borgia
 and uhh, the second son of Pope Alexander
 The Sixth of Rome, and once the picture was shown
 That's how the devils tricked my dome
 I prophesized to save a man, but no one gave a damn
 for my nation - the seed of Abraham
 Blessed with the tongue of Hebrew
 Now we're strung on needles, and some are plungin evils
 So study and be wise in these days of darkness
 Peace to my nephew Marcus
 The basic instructions before leaving earth
