Big Daddy Kane Word To The Mother (land) Lyrics

Word To The Mother (land) Lyrics

Grab a hold of yourself, open your eyes
Get wise to the exercise
Being
taught by the teacher that’s most dominant
You need knowledge?
Well
I’m dropping it
Listen to the rap allow it to trap
Your body and soul
so that you can adapt
To the man on display as I take you away
So may
I?

Proud to be a Black man
Coming exact and
Giving
up to brothers five on the back hand
Pray for lease and peace upon each
other
With my sisters and brothers

I say the mother, as in the motherland
But on the other hand,
another man
Tackled and shackled our ancestors
But we beat him with
freedom, so let’s bless the
Country that we all came from
Because the
moral of it all is we shall overcome
The cream will keep rising
We be
sizing
Up, the Asiatic one is enterprising
Building and building to carry
on
All the way from Malcolm X to Farrakhan
Martin Luther was a tutor, many
were pupils
Those who fell victim were those without scruples
However, to
sever, we could never
So hold up the peace sign and stand together
Take
heed to the words that I manifest
And when I’m through speaking, Marley
Marl’ll do the rest


People,
people
We gotta get over, before we go under (x2)
Let’s get together>
(x2)
Yo Big Daddy, what you gonna say now?>

Take a
stand the fight for power
Cause we’ve been here before the
Mayflower
Living superior abiding by nature
The history of the Asiatic
one paid the
Price to be paid in slavery
Like the name of Antonio was
gave to me
But knowledge of self broke every shackle and chain
Now I
declare myself as the Big Daddy Kane
The teacher, teaching a lesson to be
heard
That’s word, to the mother my brother
So discover the truth of
one another
Cause here’s the real deal upon our skin color
Lay down
white, yellow, red or pink
But the color of black is most dominant
The
rising and sizing can never cease

Peace!

is the original man, we just can’t escape our
destiny>

 (x2)

Crowd: yeah, that’s right...>
