Edutainment Lyrics - Boogie Down Productions

(KRS-One) 

Give it to em! 

Nuff respect! And praise to the creator 

Over the years it seems that I became a 

landmark, in the hip-hop field of art 

I shed light, yet my skin is dark 

I'm not conerned with climbin the chart 

Cause why should you pay when it comes from the heart? 

I'll start, cause only Jah will create it 

I'll just name it, Edutainment 

People sit and they look at my album 

like a problem, they try to solve em 

They don't know, it only leads the way 

to a bright more positive day 

By itself, it's NOT the bright day 

Sit up straight, and hear what I say 

Fear and ignorance, I'm down for stoppin this 

but the bright day is your conciousness 

I am poet, my words will heal you 

I'm not a phony I'll really feel you 

That's why I walk and talk to my nation 

Wherever they are, in any situation 

They usually ask for an autograph 

And I'll whip out the pen and just write Blast- 

-Master, K-R-S, O-N-E 

BDP, Peace and Unity 

But do not concentrate on the paper 

Concentrate on the laws of the creator 

Cause when the paper's gone, it will deceive you 

But Allah will never leave you

Nothing I say now is hypothetical 

These are the facts, a little metaphysical 

We are one, every heart every lung 

So why then was the black man hung? 

He was hung by the so-called Christians 

that went to church, and did not listen 

See Jesus couldn't stand politics 

so they nailed him to a crucifix 

Then it was that way, today it's a trigger 

So why is the Pope such a political figure? 

I don't know, but it's really beyond me 

But through knowledge, they'll NEVER con me 

Cause from Jesus Christ to right now 

everytime a black man speaks up, KA-POW 

See people concentrate on the leader 

And not the message comin through the speaker 

If the Christians really heard Christ 

the black man never would've lived this life 

My point is that do not concentrate 

on what I state, create, or debate 

I might be great, and you might admire 

But what I say is to take you MUCH higher 

MORE higher than the physical plane 

to the plane of forces in the astral plane 

The mental plane, and the final three 

They're all around you, yet you can't see 

So grab the sphere of life and aim it 

and you'll be guided by Edutainment
