Heal Yourself lyrics

Chorus:Harmony)

 Heal yourself you got to heal yourself

 

 (Kid Capri talks)

 

 (Big Daddy Kane)

 Mama said don't do crack and smoke you know

 'Cause it will make your nose grow like Pinnochio

 Since I was only 15 I had to listen

 To what was said for my parent was a christian

 I went to school and saw all my friends do it

 But I said no 'cause I don't want my nose to grow

 They started tripping on me, busting and flipping on me

 So I had to front and say yo, true, stick it on me

 I started smoking to prove I'm an adult

 Now it's a habt but is it all my fault

 I wished my mother would have told me the truth

 'Cause now I'm all based out, ma dukes

 

 (Kid Capri)

 Oh man I like the way that's going down

 Now why won't you do is kick a little Freddie Foxx

 

 (Freddie Foxxx)

 Everybody rise as I present to a jet black crowd

 What it's like to be black and proud

 In a world where white is right but not tonight

 This is a black man's might

 I heard a sister say she don't like darker shades of black

 On a man 'cause that's wack

 But to my light skin sister can't you tell

 You're just the surface of a dark deep well

 And how can you prefer to be wit those

 That sprayed you wit gun and hoses

 And never put roses on the graves

 Of the slaves that they treated like dirt

 After all that hard work

 

 (Kid Capri)

 Clap your hands to the beat, C'mon, just clap your hands to the beat

 Freak it now

 

 (LL Cool J)

 One of the biggest lies you hear from no one else

 Is when a girl tries to say she don't do it to herself

 Always fantasizing but steadily denying

 Last night she had to stop 'cause her baby was crying

 She do it on the phone all alone wit a smile

 Run the water, grab the shower cap and get buckwhyled

 Soap suds on the floor, oh Al B Sure

 Give it to me, give it to me, give me a little more

 I'm fiending, creaming, screaming, dreaming (what else)

 The girl's possess by the basehead demon

 

 Chorus

 

 (MC Lyte)

 In Elementary, Lyte had the Jordache look

 Like me and any other kid who cared about books

 But then I got wise and I begin to listen

 To the wack teachers and the wick-wack system

 My mother put me in ?

 Which means black school in Swahili

 And there is where I learned black history

 And how to be the best that I can be

 I went back and now the school is closed

 There is nowhere for black youth to go

 To be taught by brothers and sisters who knows what it means

 To be a black child or a white teen

 In the end the youth is being mistreated

 Which means the world is being cheated

 

 (Queen Latifah)

 Dane was never taught her life was worth something

 But when people don't try to improve it makes me want to hurt something

 You want to be somebody and be a standout

 But got your handout, oh you're broke, I guess it's off to your man's house

 Why is sister's giving up the ball

 Today it seems not to father you too hard

 They call us squeezers and you prove it to the worst

 You have to earn the right to say it's ladies first

  

 (Kid Capri)

 Oh man this is Human Education Against Lies

 You better know the flavor kid

 

 (KRS-One)

 Human Education Against Lies tries

 To open the eyes of humanity before it dies

 Black and white ain't the real fight

 That's the only thing the media hypes

 The real fight are these major corporations

 Holding back on real education

 Before you're a color, first you're human

 Teaching humanity is what we're doing

 

 (Kid Capri)

 And just when you thought you knew everything there was to know

 You didn't know anything about this, tell 'em Melodie

 

 (Ms Melodie)

 Daddy's home everyday since he lost his job

 His new line of work is now beating up mom

 Mom is scared, she doesn't know what to do

 Her beautiful skin is now black and blue

 She used to cry, now she's back in the pen

 A human war between women and men

 

 (Kid Capri)

 Melodie, Kid Capri

 

 (Jam Master Jay and DMC)

 Jam jay on the way, yo

 Human Education Against Lies

 To all the girls and to all the guys

 Get paid, get it made

 Get a good grade, live to a very old age

 Checking out jet, no disrespect

 To each and every member of the opposite sexes

 Is yes, listen to the messages and I send some

 We never knew where the poison came from

 Yo, we're rapping on H.E.A.L. so we thought we like to mention

 Acquired Immune Defiency Syndrome

 AIDS, we're here to make you get wise

 Human Education Against Lies
