You Must Learn [Live From Caucus Mountain Remix[00:00:00]
My man D-Nice D-Nice is in the booth[00:00:09]
Workin harder than ever[00:00:11]
D-Nice is rockin the sound set tonight[00:00:15]
We're not through I wanna drop a new style[00:00:17]
It's calm yet wild the style that I speak[00:00:36]
Just deal with facts and[00:00:38]
You will never get weak in the heart[00:00:40]
In fact you'll start to illuminate[00:00:41]
Knowledge to others in a song let me demonstrate[00:00:43]
The force of knowledge knowledge reigned supreme[00:00:45]
The ignorant is ripped to smithereens[00:00:46]
What do you mean when you say I'm rebellious[00:00:48]
Cause I don't accept everything that you're telling us[00:00:51]
What are you selling us the creator dwell in us[00:00:53]
I sit in your unknown class while you're failing us[00:00:56]
I failed your class cause I ain't with your reasoning[00:00:58]
You're tryin make me you by seasoning[00:01:00]
Up my mind with see Jane run[00:01:01]
See John walk in a hardcore New York[00:01:04]
Come on now that's like a chocolate cow[00:01:06]
It doesn't exist no way no how[00:01:08]
It seems to me that in a school that's ebony[00:01:10]
African history should be pumped up steadily but it's not[00:01:13]
And this has got to stop[00:01:16]
See Spot run run get Spot[00:01:17]
Insulting to a Black mentality[00:01:19]
A Black way of life or a jet Black family[00:01:20]
So I include with one concern that[00:01:23]
You must learn[00:01:26]
(Yo Kris) What [00:01:29]
Hold up D hold up D[00:01:31]
We gonna see if they really ready for this[00:01:34]
Are y'all having fun tonight [00:01:36]
I said are y'all having fun tonight [00:01:41]
I believe that if you're teaching history[00:01:45]
Deal with straight up facts no mystery[00:01:47]
Teach the student what needs to be taught[00:01:49]
Cause Black and White kids both take shorts[00:01:51]
When one doesn't know about the other ones' culture[00:01:53]
Ignorance swoops down like a vulture[00:01:56]
Cause you don't know that you ain't just a janitor[00:01:58]
No one told you about Benjamin Banneker[00:02:00]
A brilliant Black man that invented the almanac[00:02:01]
Can't you see where KRS is coming at[00:02:04]
With Elie Whitney Haile Selassie[00:02:06]
Granville Woods made the walkie talkie[00:02:08]
Lewis Lattimer improved on Edison[00:02:10]
Charles Drew did a lot for medicine[00:02:12]
Garrett Morgan made the traffic lights[00:02:15]
Harriett Tubman freed the slaves at night[00:02:16]
Madame CJ Walker made a straightin comb[00:02:19]
But you won't know this is you weren't shown[00:02:21]
The point I'm gettin at it it might be harsh[00:02:24]
Is we're just walkin' around brainwashed[00:02:26]
So what I'm sayin is not to diss em man[00:02:27]
We need the 89 school system[00:02:30]
One that caters to a Black fratern because[00:02:32]
You must learn[00:02:34]
Whattup cameraman [00:02:37]
Let me here you say hoooo [00:02:37]
We're not through with the ragga stuff[00:02:43]
We're not through with the raggamuffin stuff yet man[00:02:45]
Akebulan is the original name[00:02:53]
Of Africa now stripped of it's fame[00:02:55]
It's good to note that in ancient times[00:02:57]
Egyptians developed all sciences of the mind[00:02:59]
To the point where they ruled the planet[00:03:01]
But Rome Greece and Persia wasn't havin it[00:03:04]
They attacked and won the war[00:03:06]
But it wasn't enough they had to get to the core[00:03:08]
Cause in that time it was Akebulan[00:03:11]
That ruled religion politics and man[00:03:12]
In order to destroy the Egyptian race[00:03:14]
They had to wipe the sciences from off the face of the planet[00:03:16]
So they proceeded to ban it[00:03:19]
Then replace it with Christianity[00:03:21]
And it's been that way all the way to today[00:03:23]
Learn what we teach hear what we say[00:03:25]
But here comes the K-the-R-the-S-the-O-the-N-the-E[00:03:27]
The BDP and we rhyme intelligently[00:03:30]
Let me continue with Theodosyius[00:03:31]
A Greek ruler not known to most of us[00:03:34]
He in the fourth century A D [00:03:36]
Calls the Egyptians fools you see[00:03:38]
Two years later Justinian rules[00:03:39]
Six A D was it for schools[00:03:42]
As a result ignorance had swirled[00:03:44]
Over Christian Europe and grateful Roman worlds[00:03:46]
This went on for a thousand years[00:03:48]
Of ignorance stupidity and tears[00:03:51]
Now comes the seventeenth century hardness[00:03:53]
Europe began to come out of it's darkness[00:03:54]
So J F Blumenbach a German[00:03:57]
Came out of nowhere and started confirming[00:04:00]
White supremacy and men of colors[00:04:01]
Before this time all men were brothers[00:04:04]
It was Johann who went on to say[00:04:06]
There are five different colors in the world today[00:04:08]
That's caucasian malayan and mongolian[00:04:10]
American-indian and ethiopian[00:04:12]
Yes the ignorance gets scarier[00:04:14]
He believed whites were superior[00:04:16]
According to his idiotic fountain[00:04:19]
The purest whites were from the Caucas mountains[00:04:21]
J A Blofener and H S Chamberlain[00:04:23]
Both supported this outrageous racism[00:04:25]
This went on to what the master race should be[00:04:26]
And why they killed the Jews in Germany[00:04:30]
Here is the reason why I'm so concerned[00:04:32]
Because you must learn[00:04:34]
We're not done we're not done we're not done[00:04:41]
Check this out[00:04:46]
