lyrics

I took the day off
Looked out the window
Working the weekend ain't all this brother needs to freakin'
Breathe fair air as I prepare to look fresh
Wondering what my life's gone get
On the placement test
As I caress the pencil and put volume on the instrumental
I realized that bustin' suckas was a task that was too simple
Now as my deep thought pondered
And my intellect wandered
It took me to a scene that made a revelation of a daydream
And it was my mom singing "don't let em' fool ya"
And they only gone give ya "three-fifths while they school ya"
So read, read, read, cause your mind will forever feed
The need to water your soul's seed
And then you'll find your life's creed

I remember when I was dumb deaf and blind
An 85-er
Striving to walk the path and swerving off the road when driving
Reckless tunnel vision dazed and confused and blinded
Stumbling when trying to walk the path I couldn’t find it
I loved the Bible, but I knew it was more
The scientist inside my inner core longed to explore my climate
So I prayed to the Lord to give me some deliverance
To lift me from the spell of ignorance which had me binded tight
Then it came like a thief in the night
Restored my cultural heritage switching wrong into right
Yeah tight-
Then it came like a vision of light
And got me open for scoping so I could cope with this life - cause

Gotta be more to Life
More to Life
More to Life
than this

(repeat 3x)

Some of my elders wrote some books
I took a look- bought some more
Now I realize what I'm here for
where I came from- who I am- and where I'm going
Bustin' what I'm knowing to the seeds so they can start growing
Will power makes me a God as an individual
Indivisible plus dual- spitting jewels from the Mystery Schools
Which is my purpose during my stay on this earth is
To acknowledge my knowledge of self and then
Bring it to the surface
Expose the kind of information that'll make yall nervous
Which my duty as a volunteer for The Most High's Secret Service
My job description in this world is a rebel
Who's here to let yall know that life has a brighter level

Entered a new stage in my development
Intelligence actively seeking my inheritance for wealth
And all my elders like Ashra Kwesi and Dr. York and Dr. Afrika
Taught me knowledge of self
The Dead Sea Scrolls and Holy Tablets,
Enuma Elish, Gilgamesh, Atra Hasis
Big books initially was difficult to overstand
But through diligence I know ‘em like the back of my hand
And now my lyrics is infused with truth
The most "beautifullest" thing in this world is the facts and the proof
That I use in the booth
Fight for freedom my soul takes flight
There’s gotta be more to life than this
I knew I was right

Gotta be more to Life
More to Life
More to Life
than this

(repeat 3x)
