Y'all goin'
and flowin'
i'd be remiss if i didn't say
i wuz born a while ago not no way close to yesterday
i tries to avoid bein' fooled
so i'll listen and be schooled
Thas how i learned that i can flow
never even thought 'bout this befo'
til' i peeped you youngbloods up in this room
an' like the yarn upon the loom
began to knit
and write the writ
i lik-ed what y'all was doing
inside my soul started to brewin'
a new way for me to spit my stuff
up to now i can't git enough
i like to preach
teach
reach
and truly to beseech
folks to be all they can be
to travel and see all they can see
to really take the charge
to git on to the large
loose the chains that bind'em
leave slave ways behind'em
git it on to liberation
spit on...
it's a brand new nation
talkin'
an' walkin'
makin' words take on form
soundin' the alarm
All Praises due
to wordz and flowz
to the Creator of me and you
and the places where flowin' growz
and flowin'
i'd be remiss if i didn't say
i wuz born a while ago not no way close to yesterday
