So.. if Hip-Hop is about the people And Hip-Hop wont get better until the people get better Then how do people get better? (Hmmmm...) Well, from my understanding people get better when they start to understand they are valuable... Theyre valuable cause theyve been created by God. And God, makes you valuable And whether or not you, recognize that value is one thing You got a lot of societies and governments Tryin to be God, wishing that they were God They wanna create satellites and cameras everywhere And make you think they got the all-seeing eye Eh.. I guess The Last Poets wasnt, too far off When they said that certain people got a God Complex I believe its true I dont get phased out by none of that, none of that Helicopters, the TV screens, the newscasters, the... Satellite dishes... they just, wishing They cant really never do that When they tell me to fear they law When they tell me to try to Have some fret in my heart behind the things that they do This is what I think in my mind And this is what I say to them And this is what Im saying to you check it: All over the world hearts pound with the rhythm Fear not of men because men must die Mind over matter and soul before flesh Angels hold a pen keep a record in time Which is passing and running like a caravan trader The world is overrun with the wealthy and the wicked But God is sufficient in disposing of affairs Gunmen and stockholders try to merit my fear But God is sufficient over plans they prepared –Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def, representing #Brooklyn
