[intro]
Yo um, this one's dedicated to the one them call Culture Freedom… yeah
[Verse 1]
So many have waited
For someone such as myself to go solo
Oh no, oh hell, black prevails, brain cells
[To ???] a positive thought to help create this, greatness
Your posse tried it but they failed and my p-osse
PRT posse founded by some teachers
A couple of microphones then turned tables into speakers
Wisest manifestations of the words I manifest
Support from all the Gods up in Divineland Projects
Yo its a black thing
And other than down won't understand
And when I'm speaking upon a God I must be speaking upon a blackman
New black man… Tell the real story [x4]
[Verse 2]
So I proceed
To teach you from three hundred and sixty degrees of what you're lackin -
The fabrics, core knowledge of yourself
Many felt, the coming of the lord and the lord came himself
Couldn't send nobody else
Black people, stop and take a look at where you're at -
Projects, barred in the cage for the blacks
Wake up - from these animalistic problems
Give them back their bible, cause it's unable to solve them
We must come together as a people
Teach each as an equal
About the right way to go
Yo, take off your cross black, because it's crossin up your mental
You fail to comprehend the flow and I'm kickin it to ya -
Kickin it to ya straight from Divine Land
Speaking upon a God, so I must be speaking upon a blackman
New black man… Tell the real story [x4]
[Verse 3]
This is ghetto, 100% rough like a hallway
Up in D-Land Projects where the PRT p-osse stay
Why must we try to be materially financed?
I'm not sellin drugs, I'm for the people of Divine Land
Low income projects, that is
Poor Righteous Teacher keeps the head above negative
Well, very true - but what must one do to get it through to you?
Speak when spoken to, or grab the mic and simply bomb a few, weak
Not right, the life's not the ghetto type
But usin' eyes for the hype
Not kickin it to ya -
Not kickin it to ya straight from Divine Land
Not speaking upon a god, not even speaking upon a blackman
New black man… Tell the real story [x4]
[Verse 4]
I use this fabric, this fabric called knowledge of myself
That keeps me sky-risin' to the tip-top
I often mention, or rock ya like a shocker to get attention
Gods, are ruling up in hip hop
Why stop? When I drop what I top with insight
Light for the spot, not rows to the left
Right? Right meaning black to be exact you put the needle to the wax
Come hear my actual facts
Maker the owner, creamer of the planet, my life do you have it
Many of us cram to understand and I'm kickin it to ya -
Kickin it to ya straight from Divine Land
Speaking upon a God so I must be speaking upon a blackman
[outtro]
Like I said, strictly for the one them call Culture Freedom, cause we can do dat. We done that. We outta here
Poor Righteous Teachers are an American hip hop group formed in Trenton, New Jersey in 1989. The trio, consisting of Wise Intelligent, Culture Freedom and Father Shaheed, distinguished themselves for their politically charged and spiritually inspired music, blending elements of old school rap with jazz and funk influences. Wise Intelligent, considered one of the most creative MCs of our time, led the group to significant underground success. Their albums, such as "Holy Intellect" (1990) and "The 2nd Coming" (1992), introduced themes of social consciousness, racial justice and African American spirituality, influencing generations of hip hop artists that followed. Among their most representative tracks are "Rock Dis Funky Joint", "Shaolin Style" and "The 2nd Coming".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
