So Many Teachers Lyrics - Holy Intellect - Poor Righteous Teachers

Verse 1 

[Wise] 

So many teachers, yet so little men are being seen 

Everybody's ruling, yet nobody's being king. 

[Culture Freedom] 

Word iz life 'G' 

[Wise] 

But Culture Free how could this be? 

Our people need some leaders and some positivity. 

[Culture Freedom] 

Like Farrakhan 'G' 

[Wise] 

Or like that brother Malcolm X 

Who turn the hands of time when giving knowledge of himself 

[Culture Freedom & Wise] 

It's sort ta simple see 

[Wise] 

The Father Shah upon the techniques 

Weak... nobody in me possee 

[Culture Freedom] 

T'cha, T'cha! Please teach the untaught one 

[Wise] 

Strictly I be ghetto so you know it's from the heart 

Strike for peace for peace which rightfully be mine 

Disagree? 

Then let the teacher take ya back in time 

Once upon a time upon the earth 

Many say we're cursed 

But those who are black are that of first 

Ever to exist upon the planet 

Let me speak more candid 

I'm here to give a greater understanding 

Peace was the flow of the universe 

So shut your bible stop tellin' lies that you were first 

[Culture Freedom] 

T'cha, T'cha! What about these students lackin' lessons 

[Wise] 

There's oh so many teachers, yet a lack of manifestin' 

Teachers oughtta teach if they be teachers 

Educate the weaker 

Poor Righteous Teachers teachin' cuzz we feel 

So many teachers grab the mic and just be talkin' 

So many lackin' cuzz these teachers ought'ta build. 

[Instrumental break] 

Verse 2 

[Wise] 

I am a teacher 

some what symbolic to a king 

Some disagree when I state this 

I where a crown 

Which represents the knowledge of the teacher 

Weaker speak of the snake 

Which try to take this 

Wisdom 

Wise words being spoken 

The purified ways in which I manifest 

I'm never sested 

Because the knowledge stimulates me 

And brain cells are to great for havin' this 

[Culture Freedom] 

Well come again 'G' 

[Wise] 

Within an automatic second 

I manifest thoughts that I accumulate 

[Culture Freedom] 

To demonstrate 'G' 

[Wise] 

Mainfest weight. 

Weight of the insight 

[Culture Freedom] 

Light! 

[Wise] 

Right!... Some positivity 

Why can't we 

The black communities 

Come together to conquer thee opponent 

Cuzz if we show just a small sense of unity 

Everything the eye see before me 

We'd own it. 

Truth be the wise words spoken 

The I swings the sword 

The Lord of all worlds being born 

Word bond to the lost and the found 

I down any clown 

And on my crown that is sworn 

Yes, the set consist of many teachers 

Time for I to question what these teachers say they're teachin' 

Who am I to question what another man is stating? 

[Culture Freedom] 

To who are you relating? 

[Wise] 

To you if you know not of what you're speaking. 

[Instrumental break] 

Verse 3 

[Wise Intelligent] 

So many teachers they taught me 

I say they taught me well 

They taught me to be self wise of one self. 

I study what they teach me 

No one could teach me how to 

So you know I'm not takin' anything on face value. 

[Culture Freedom] 

Observation 

[Wise Intelligent] 

Mandatory... Whenever present 

To study what is spoken by teacher manifested 

[Culture Freedom] 

Perception 

[Wise Intelligent] 

I say perceiving of a thought 

Conceiving be delivering the weight of what one's taught. 

It's sort'ta simple, some would say it's somewhat complicated 

But LIFE IS OFTEN BALANCED BY THE WAY IN WHICH YA TAKE IT! 

Me fake it?! 

Never 'G', The truth reveals itself 

My understanding's understood 

And mine will come from no one else 

Make knowledge born the duty of the civilized 

'G' not satisfied 

till the dark prince rise 

[Culture Freedom] 

Peace Wise, peace Wise 

[Wise Intelligent] 

But I'm not signing off yet 

These teachers don't reveal so it's time to manifest 

[Instrumental break]
