[00:00.423][Verse 1: LL Cool J]
[00:04.237]Knowledge and wisdom bring understanding
[00:06.632]For the culture, bringing freedom to the planet
[00:08.881]The power to refine how we planned it
[00:11.103]Bring equality to God's economy
[00:13.344]Build the truth, destroy in the booth
[00:15.416]What I was born to do, decipher for you
[00:17.458]Hey, Allah, what you wanna be when you're born?
[00:19.734]What you really need to see is yourself in divine form
[00:21.893]For the sake of equality, I'm fathering the song
[00:24.152]Spirit of God, bring he and her along
[00:26.330]They mistreat Islam, no justice performed
[00:28.720]Till I'm crowned king, love, hell, right or wrong
[00:30.844]Thе master, dominate the stagеs I'm on right now
[00:33.734]And it won't end when I'm gone
[00:35.392]Control the cypher, I got the power, bring it on
[00:37.647]Watch ya queen get snatched like a pawn
[00:39.881]Slicker than a ruler, the savior is born
[00:41.906]Tell you the truth, you're square, your style's all wrong
[00:44.495]You ain't understanding the universe
[00:46.304]Some say they want the victory but don't wanna rehearse
[00:48.511]Gotta work with the wisdom if you want it to work
[00:50.815]We don't fear the unknown, staying in the zone
[00:53.074]Ask, "Why?" I reply, "To each his own"
[00:55.280]Roll a Zig-Zag zig 'cause the God came home, let's go
[00:55.791]
[00:55.969][Chorus: Q-Tip]
[00:57.516]Praise him all you can
[00:59.381]All woman and man
[01:01.801]Praise him with your heart
[01:03.845]Praise him with your mind
[01:06.128]Praise him everyone, all of humankind
[01:10.477]Praise him, praise him, praise him
[01:14.828]Praise him, praise him, praise him
[01:19.554]Praise him, praise him, praise him
[01:20.222]
[01:20.382][Verse 2: Nas]
[01:24.015]Peace to all, peace to y'all
[01:26.483]Peace to all, peace to y'all
[01:28.678]Fly women and gentlemen, I gotta say, iconic is the sentiment
[01:33.218]Definitive, blending smooth and menacing is him again
[01:35.389]Bally shoe with the velour, yeah, that's a fit again
[01:37.588]In prison, they be listening, I get 'em through they sentences
[01:39.790]He whistle through his solid gold gold teeth
[01:41.698]His fists all metal, tapping a cold beat
[01:43.900]That sound made me a wild wavy
[01:46.226]My style pay me since junior high school with Craig G
[01:48.868]I grew to be established
[01:49.894]Having a stash and once was banned from every club from Queens to Staten
[01:53.073]Now in the Zoom meetings, sipping Veuve Clicq' and eating
[01:55.848]Reminiscing when I got my new sheepskin, was goon season
[01:58.613]It started in the Project Park
[01:59.807]1985, '86 with the Clarks with the gum sole
[02:01.967]Them young boys, they brung noise and jumped off
[02:04.755]You soft outside fresh, a dumb choice
[02:06.605]Bum rushed, gun bust
[02:08.882]Over Cazal glasses, they got that ass whipped
[02:11.138]I first heard "I Need a Beat"
[02:13.155]I got on the train, last stop on the F and E
[02:15.325]Jamaica bound, hopped in a dollar van to Farmers
[02:17.444]Just to see the God they called Todd lives
[02:20.148]They say you raised up some hood toddlers
[02:22.261]Now we connect more knowledge and more dollars, peace
