Forbidden Knowledge Lyrics - All We Need - Raury

Forbidden knowledge can destroy mankind 

... 

I spend large hours of my days alone 

I don't believe we share this universal space alone 

I think we got a lot from them, they gave us phones 

Internet and know we all know what is forbidden knowledge 

Forbidden knowledge is too great for a man 

Think if man could read your mind, you think that man understands 

How to use it with integrity, not conquering land 

Would it be good if we increased the lifespan, well that's forbidden knowledge 

Forbidden knowledge can destroy mankind 

We can grow out of control like cancer under the skin of Mother Nature 

Busy cities much alike to a tumor 

Too many cells, the residents, the body's polluted 

I say woosah and alley-oop the -- the jeweler 

Try to make up, I know my history, I know we are moors 

There's a universe in her afro, hold us back though 

There's a power in the black folk, well that's forbidden knowledge 

At first they want to keep us separate but equal 

But it's not so we fight against the hatred and evil 

Now they let us think we got it and they killin' our people 

Why does history repeat like a sequel? Well that's forbidden knowledge 

It's got a man watching TV like people 

Rewinding his favorite parts to play it back like it's TiVo 

Have I wrote this shit before? It all feels like a review 

And deja vu is left to die like our dreams do, but that's forbidden knowledge 

I had some shocking memories as a kid 

Waking up onto a table, a lap, some type of fizz 

Too vivid to be a nightmare, mom would tell me that shit

Can't remember anything that he did, guess that's forbidden knowledge 

... 

Forbidden knowledge 

... 

Forbidden knowledge 

... 

Are dreams another kind of preview to Heaven? 

We manifest our reality based on our personality 

Coming from shit we did since the day we were seven 

So did you share toys? Or did you masturbate at eleven 

I'm just a 90s baby, a millennial kid 

Indigos are on the rise to make perennial shift 

Hope this music stands long as Redwood Sequoias 

Pyramids and stones, like stones from Stonehenge 

Come on, let the future tell the truth 

Cause you a shell of you 

You played your cards wrong, now you got hella youth 

Be glad I still retain respect for you 

Cause I got bullets that'll kill you if your vest is hell and heaven-proof 

Photos 

I'll never understand your corporate greed 

Just a group of people, all they want is more than they need 

Signing off on papers, blinded to the pain overseas 

Blood resulting from the ink that they bleed, but that's forbidden knowledge 

... 

Forbidden knowledge 

... 

Forbidden knowledge 

... 

So who put the liquor store across the street from the gun shop? 

And the park a hop skip in the dark 'way from the gunshots 

That rang out in the neighborhood where the youth's misunderstood 

Fighting over concrete squares but the laws just ain't no good 

I think their agenda's meant to kill us all 

Now what good is education long as you can ball? 

Standin' on the couch inside the club and hit the mall 

Barely feed a bum, but you buy it all 

Think they laughin' at us, cause while we're watchin' some cable 

They was talkin' 'bout the economy, sharecroppers and stables 

How to keep the horse runnin' his course, give him some blinders 

So that he lack remorse for whoever's right beside him 

His own kind, I pray you dig deeper 

If you don't find, what you're lookin' for on the surface 

The knowledge that you need can't be Nextel chirpin' 

You're every bit of worth it, not worthless 

You kings and queens, were meant for better things 

Than flexin' on the scene, or burstin' out the seams 

Of your blouse you told yourself you'd never wear outside your mama's house 

Cause the energy it lends puts strong women down, down 

Brother, look, you don't need to go to jail just to read you a book 

I wonder what Malcolm found after goin' to Mecca 

Or the mindstate of Martin after visitin' Selma 

The leaders that were slain for speakin' the topic 

On the schemers and the reapers of forbidden knowledge
