Knowledge Is King Lyrics - Kool Moe Dee

I'm not goin', I'm gone 

Up up up and away and I'm on 

A higher plane with a brain, with a flame 

Feel the fire desire the same 

Knowledge and wisdom and understanding 

Possessed by Gods, transferred to man in 

A script of a book, or a scripture that looks 

Like a Biblical writing inviting a hook 

Of a song sing along with a strong subliminal 

Message divesting all men from criminal 

Acts of the devil, revealed and reveled 

Designed to recline the mind to lower level 

Read the Holy Koran or the Bible 

Because it's liable to be a revival 

For the weak who seek power it'll bring infallible power 

Knowledge is king 

Now who wants some, come get it 

A battle is a test of wits and I'm witted 

Hard beats a torch and I lit it 

Set the world on fire, I get it 

Now that it feels good, I'm heating up 

I feed off knowledge and can't get enough 

Knowledge is infinite, suckers ain't into it 

Ignorance is bliss and they're kin to it 

Party and dance and don't ever glance 

At a book or look for their mind to advance 

Caught in a rut, chasing butt 

Trying to get a dollar or a nut 

Evil feeds off a source of apathy 

Weak in the mind and of course you have to be 

Less than a man, more like a thing, no knowledge you're nothin' 

Knowledge is king 

My knowledge comes from a spiritual force 

Stronger than any earthly source 

Propaganda, hype or slander 

I won't believe the hype, I understand the 

Media dictates, the mind and rotates 

The way you think and syncopates slow pace 

Brains, can't maintain 

Ascertain insipid inane crass rain 

Insane lame traditions 

All praise fame positions 

Want to be a star, drive a big car 

Live bourgeois, don't know who you are 

Lost in the source and praising the dollar 

Whether your faith is Christ or Allah 

The knowledge of God will teach one thing, the dollar is moot 

Knowledge is king 

My rhymes make a meak mind anorexic 

You can't hang without slang, so eject it 

I've selected, rhymes for records 

To affect the effect of the rhyme that left it 

Hangin' like a pound that can come down 

But you're hangin' the brain, so your brain's hell-bound 

Lost and found by the serpent's sound 

What you don't know can't hurt that's profound 

Or absurd, a better word 

An ignorant fool is a real cool nerd 

Pockets are fat with an empty head 

Got a little fame and a name and you're brain dead 

You count dollars, so ya think ya in 

You know how to count but you don't know when 

And history today and it will equal the future 

Repetitive mistakes 'cause the brain ain't acute ya 

Need knowledge to understand the concept of sacrifice 

But man don't understand, so we have to fight 

War, killing people we never saw before 

Most don't eden know what they're killin' for 

Following rulers, instead of the prophets 

The wicked can rule ya but the knowledge can stop it 

Souls can't be controlled, it's a spiritual thing 

But you got the knowledge, knowledge is king 

Knowledge is king
