Some of the smartest dummies
Can't read the language of
Egyptian mummies
An' a fly go a moon
And can't find food
for the starving tummies
Pay no mind to the youths
Cause it's not like
the future depends on it
But save the animals in the zoo
Cause the chimpanzee
dem a make big money
This is how the media pillages
On the TV the picture is
Savages in villages
And the scientist still
can't explain the pyramids, huh
Evangelists making a living
on the videos of ribs
of the little kids
Stereotyping the image of the images
And this is what the image is
You buy a khaki pants
And all of a sudden
you say a Indiana Jones
An' a thief out gold
and thief out the scrolls
and even the buried bones
Some of the worst paparazzis
I've ever seen and I ever known
Put the worst on display
so the world can see
And that's all they will ever show
So the ones in the west
Will never move east
And feel like they could be at home
Dem get tricked by the beast
But a where dem ago flee
when the monster is fully grown
Solomonic linage whe dem still
can't defeat and them coulda never clone
My spiritual DNA that print in my soul
and I will forever Own Lord

Huh, we born not knowing
are we born knowing all
We growing wiser
are we just growing tall
Can you read thoughts
can you read palms
Huh, can you predict the future
can you see storms, coming
The Earth was flat
if you went too far you would fall off
Now the Earth is round
if the shape change again
everybody woulda start laugh
The average man can't prove of
most of the things
that he chooses to speak of
And still won't research
and find out the root of the truth
that you seek of
Scholars teach in Universities
and claim that they're smart and cunning
Tell them find a cure when we sneeze
and that's when their nose start running
And the rich get stitched up
when we get cut
Man a heal dem broken bones
in the bush with the wed mud
Can you read signs
can you read stars
Can you make peace
can you fight war
Can you milk cows
even though you drive cars? huh
Can you survive, Against All Odds, Now

Who wrote the Bible
Who wrote the Qur'an
And was it a lightning storm
That gave birth to the earth
And then dinosaurs were born? damn
Who made up words
who made up numbers
And what kind of spell is mankind under
Everything on the planet
we preserve and can it
Microwaved it and try it
No matter what we'll survive it
What's hu? what's man
what's human
Anything along the land we consuming
Eatin', deletin', ruin
Trying to get paper
Gotta have land, gotta have acres
So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson
play the game
like the lakers
In a world full of 52 fakers
Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers
You superstitious
throw salt over your shoulders
Make a wish for the day cuz
Like somebody got a doll of me
Stickin' needles in my arteries
But I can't feel it
Sometimes it's like 'pardon me
but I got a real big spirit'
I'm fearless.... I'm fearless
Don't you try and grab
hold of my soul
It's like a military soldier
since seven years old
I held real dead bodies in my arms
Felt their body turn cold, oh
Why we born in the first place
this is how we gotta go
Damn
