[Intro: Sample]
“A preacher of freedom, justice and equality. To you! High and low people, lost and found”
[Verse 1: Howard Lloyd]
Micro, macro, paradigm shift
Hype those black folk, now the time switch
Internal jihad moving forward fight
We rooted in dirt but yearn toward light
Chakras illuminated, need no sun to see me
Vertebrate, vibrate awakin kundalini
We ancient souls, that painted scrolls
The ones who walked da universal laws an made em so
Y'all rebel men go tell a friend about the pineal gland and neuromelanin
Just hopin to plant some seeds, with these advanced degrees
[Chorus: Samples]
"—carefully, I drop this degree"
"It ain't hard to see my seeds need God-degree"
"My mind's so advanced"
"Scientifically, and realistically"
[Verse 2: Howard Lloyd]
Am I therapist or the rapist I walk a straight
And narrow left line through 7 different phases
No more questions on the questions that the answer raises
My style dazes, work your way through, no hollow phrases
Another syntax error, not quite
If you intangible eye is squintin let me turn down d light
Some say I’m speedin, check d speedometer
A complex god has more degrees than the thermometer
Now in my negritude i think a little faster than the 85% who walk around, mental bastards
Backward grows the knee to to the depths of the grim
With their thoughts so shallow,couldn’t even touch my tim
They’re the money makers, the shakers, the movers
Forgot about the side and went main what a manuever
Like Luke says gun go pop pop! That ain’t hip hop!
It’s time fo’ them to get walked on like a flip flop
But fuck it I don’t have the time, here I go with my shit
My mind blows an herb then I kick another fly skit
Sporadically, automatically, and regardless of the name
I never try to take em out of they savagery
So there it is plain and simple, cute as a dimple
Don’t be surprised when my thought bust out yo' temple
Lost in the sauce stirred in the mix during the lesson
I don’t know the answer, ask yourself the question
[Chorus: Samples]
"—carefully, I drop this degree"
"It ain't hard to see my seeds need God-degree"
"Talk about today's mathematics"
"wild advanced placement in effect"
"—carefully, I drop this degree"
"Yes, the mystery to solve, so seek and define"
"more advanced to the letter[?]"
"Scientifically, and realistically (Who is god?)"
[Outro: Samples]
