Original Man

[Intro: sample (Lord Jamar)]

All the brothers from Brooklyn, will you raise your hand, thank you...

All the brothers from Manhattan, will you raise your hand (uh, uh)

All the brothers from the Bronx, will you raise your hand (yeah, a Universal fam)

All the brothers from Queens, will you raise your hand (oh.. NGE)

All the brothers from Staten Island, will you raise your hand (uh, ok)

All the brothers from Westchester, will you raise your hand

[Lord Jamar]

Yo, check me out, General Monk-Monk style

Run devils across the desert, two thousand, 200 miles

And make 'em walk every step of the way

Strip 'em down, take everything away

Send 'em to the mountaneous caves

Two thousand years of lonely stage

Musa slept in the ring of fire

Bringing knowledge of how to steal & be a liar

He tried to be a civilizer, thirty three & one third degrees

Wiser, we taught him how to build a home

And how to live a respectable life

And how to master the original man

Which was the plan of the father as a boy

Now six years old, playing with steel

He saw opposites attract and that everything's real

And if you put your mind to it, by the force of your will

The thoughts manifest to be able to kill

I'm just glad we to the point, that we able to build

If we could only stay able, maybe we will

[Chorus 2X: Lord Jamar]

Original man is first

I wanna say peace to the Gods & the Earths

My universal fam, living out the universal plan

Aiyo, tell 'em who I am (G-O-D)

[Raekwon]

We at the minds prayin', nickel bags of black

Foto stacks, it's ganja season

Yeah, now, what up, my dude 'lax

Yo, blowin' coffins, keep bagging

We gon' show the government it ain't about blacks

It's only bout stacks

Furnish labs, ballin' crabs, Houston Oiler mask

Reeboks, tennis yellow, fellow goin' mad

The game is stupid, these teams, they keep sneechin' yo

What's the reason? Too much pussy, to get records to rag, yo

I'm one of the rap's boldest, fold-smith

Paper cut in my hand, I got eleven fingerprints, hold that

Back to the filty ugly, Bugsy, rugby thugs

With no love, slugs, silver ones throw these

Split niggaz temples, forget, the shit's freshly squeezed

Roll that Nestle, the vet's seen in rentals

Fly language, lick the sawed-off and spray you

Aiyo, Allah is one, I'm done, no playin', nigga

[Chorus 2X]

[Lord Jamar]

Yes, last Sunday of the month, so to Harlem we went

No clubbin', for parliments and Harriett Tubman

Peace to the Gods, peace to the Earths

Peace to the Seeds, peace to the Birth

Of the Nation of the Five Percent, rap sent

Intelligent brothers, to represent

Allah Justice made the knowledge born

You find the Gods from the jails to the colledge dorms

You got to 'know the ledge' to 'wise the dom'

And understand your culture of freedom

Power Equaly with the Gods

So you can build and born your cipher, uh

All your life, you must teach truth

Of the true and living God not a mystery spook

And when you do that, persue that goal

Which made the student enroll

And only then you'll prosper

[Chorus 2X]

[Kasim Allah]

I am he who, wrote the Bible and Koran

Who is, walked on this planet, from knowledge to born

Lead in the right direction, easily I

Offered jewels to those in need of protection

Use mathematics to gain answers to questions

Came Kasim God Allah, true forth

And proved sun, moon & stars

Raised from the dead by science

To the knowledge of God now I knew what civilization means

And I strive to teach that to these cats

For that teams that, think I got a pin stuck in they head or something

Walking around, but they mentally dead

They ask for jewels and I give 'em bread

Some digest that food for thought, that they was fed my

Wisdom bears fruit, Arm Leg Leg Arm Head

Supreme being black man, in dred, I, share equality

With Jamal I spread, put fire in your bald head

With ghetto messiah, truth bringer in emense of these

Snakes I, make knowledge born, going through whatever it takes

Whether I build or destroy, I can cause earthquakes

Adding on to the positive shining light

As this Earth rotates.. it rotates, it rotates, it rotates...
