The Teachable

lyrics

Who's the teacha?
The mad preacher?
KRS crossed over
Imma take the stakes
And take over- NAS
A foundation
Mad stable
Like Jesus born
To these three Kings
The wisemen
Frankensence and Mur
We just need to make some sense
Outta this world
Kids listen to your teachers
They might have good things to say
And they barely even getting paid
Laid off cause the system never works
At placing precedence over presidents
Trying to devise the bullshit they started
That's why you gotta brain
To use against the abused
I said make sense
Not nonsense
Less you can be nonsensical
Sensational about the world
Fly right by
Over the heads
Of the bullshitters
Who don't give a damn
About
Her or him
or him or her
Word?
Gotta learn the words
To use them
Gotta train your brain
Not to lose it
I've gone mad too many times
This my world
I don't bestow this upon anyone
But teach yourself
To rise above
If there's no one else around
To help you do these things
Learn from your own beginnings
You can always begin again
Just don't repeat
What defeats you
We gotta rise above
In this together
Til the very end
Teachas mad preachers
When they got substance
Not all of them
Trust this
That's why you gotta
Keep your eyes
On the prize
That this about you
Not the rest of them
Stop the naysayers
That say War is the only game
Outta the gate
Before giving peace a chance
Or giving enhancement a chance
The rapper
Ain't about vendettas
It's just about spitting venom
In the faces of mad disgracements
Displacement
In a society
That doesn't preach what it speaks
They talk just to talk
They still crawling
Can't walk the walk
They'd rather die
Than try
Piecing together the peace
OF fragmented justice
When it's not their place
To say
Religious war fare goes this way
Not believing it could go away
If we just gave praise
Praise
To the Allahs of one place
One love One hope
Other peoples lives ain't a joke
Imma getting choked out
I gotta let go I just gotta
Cause I've been taught
To speak my thoughts
After midnight I make melodies
With someone elses beats
But this is how I speak
Just to let it go
All the un-just-ice
UnJust
Trust this
