The First Agreement Lyrics - Dizzy Wright

(manny scott) intro 

the word is not simply a scribbled symbol or a spoken sound 

the word is not like a roaring lion that no one really fears 

no, the word has power 

and it can be you most trusted friend 

or your most terrible foe 

you see like a seed the word gives life 

like a lamp the word gives light 

like a mirror the word reflects 

like water the word washes 

like fire the word cleanses 

like a hammer the word shatters 

like a sword the word cuts 

ohhh but like medicine the word heals 

and like a consular the word comforts 

you see the word is alive 

and it is waiting, waiting for you to summon it like a soldier 

and send it forth into battle 

so speak

(dizzy wright) verse 1 

they tell me i sound like a prophet 

feedin my niggas with knowledge 

mistakin theres been to much faith in 

thorough nigga business we keepin it solid 

im ready to teach and learn 

educatin for this heaven on earth 

overcomin all my family doubts 

the man of the house 

no man to observe 

shit can get worse but we pull it through 

im illuminatin that entire equation creatin 

i no you cant see it right now 

but im teachin my niggas to better communicators 

they dumbin us down one by one huntin us down 

i try not to sound like a preacher 

but if our daughters and sons are kings and queens 

they have to be prepped to be leaders 

following order and steps the man with the plan 

gets most the respect 

so im bowing down with my hands together forever 

prayin for anyone whose losin their strength 

we in this together right 

theres reasons for you to believe and inspire 

when found in what i was reading 

and now i feel like its what i should be teaching 

started with the first agreement

(nikkiya) chorus 

higher it may humble 

my heart is always open 

cause i understand 

behind every great man 

is some situation 

as i look into your eyes 

i see the pain that ive caused 

and so i apologize 

(dizzy wright) verse 2 

to my single parents thats young 

mommas not holdin her tongue 

its a shame but even through all of your pain 

i hope you teach your child how to love 

im lovin the feelin we doin it right 

for my niggas thats loosin they sight 

you cannot criticize anything that you do 

if youre always a student to life 

a product of truth 

sad part if its hard to be yourself 

you apart of it to 

now im breaking it down 

so its understanding me 

philosophy comes with the proof 

success requires a push 

straight forward is the only way to look 

i head if you wanna hide something from a nigga 

the best way to do it is to put it in a book 

so they make this shit difficult 

imma talk about the principles 

in general and individuals 

you ballin, you made it, you happy, you flexin 

every rappers story sounds identical 

sink in a better life 

theres reasons for you to believe in 

i picked up a book and was readin 

and now i feel like its what i should be teachin 

started with the first agreement 

(nikkiya) chorus 

higher it may humble 

my heart is always open 

cause i understand 

behind every great man 

is some situation 

as i look into your eyes 

i see the pain that ive caused 

and so i apologize
