Inspectah Deck Show And Prove Lyrics

Show And Prove Lyrics

Chorus: Sample  (Inspectah Deck)]  

 The power of God's in you (show and prove)  

 The power of God's in you (show and prove)  

 The power of God's in you (show and prove)  

 True  The time has come through  

 Chose the few  must show and prove  

  

 [Intro: Inspectah Deck *in the the background of the chorus*]  

 Yea  this is the power  true power  

 Showin and provin  

  

 [Inspectah Deck]  

 I once asked God to forgive for my sins  

 Bent on my knees pleadin to be heavenly cleansed  

 Said the Holy Ghost changed the ways and actions of men  

 When I stood, I felt the same as if I just walked in  

 I was twelve at the time, held nines, held mines  

 A frail mind, criminal thoughts well-designed  

 Then the Older Gods put me on, on how to rock this  

 Maintain, 360, lord and live prosperous  

 His jewel was priceless, keep the cypher righteous  

 Bare in mind, God, some of your own won't like this  

 I'm mentally scarred, recooperatin from abrasure  

 Fooled by interpretations made from a traitor  

 It's in my nature, I was taught, that's the first law  

 Obtain the food, clothin and the shelter that I search for  

 The fire in my eyes is hot as Earth's core  

 What hurts more, the fact that we still dirt poor  

 In hard times force crimes out of honest man  

 And most fiend to see the so-called promised land  

 Sun of Man, knowledge, wisdom and understand  

 that it's time to take matters in our own hands  

  

 [Chorus]  

  

 [Inspectah Deck]  

 The wicked ways of the world can't escape sin  

 I'm facin masses gun on the plantation  

 Seen source from home yet I'm still caved in  

 Cuz 9000 miles is such a long way to swim  

 and many die tryin to survive the next mile  

 Famillies was raised as slaves and exiled  

 I learned it as a child, knowledge be the key  

 to unlock your brain and set your mindstate free  

 It's true, the times come through, chose the few  

 Show and prove, the power of God's in you  

 or remain a savage in pursuit of happiness  

 Who lacks jewels, love and peace completes the package  

 The fact is five out a hundred know the truth  

 The wisdom might blow the roof when shown and proved  

  

 [Chorus]  

  

 [Inspectah Deck]  

 Through the course of time, we was dumb, deaf and blind  

 Now we on the incline, build with one mind  

 Came a long way, but, yo, we still far behind  

 So, uplift the mind, God, rise and shine  

 I speak to the black-bellied yellow seeds  

 My fellow breed all races, colors and creeds  

 Search for the knowledge, use science and math  

 and be queens and kings like the centuries past  

 The devil tried to fool my people, said we was equal  

 But I believe him when my culture sees freedom  

 You beat 'em with the positive thoughts, you don't need em  

 Leave him in the dirt, let the blood suckers see him  

  

 [Chorus to fade
