[Hook 4X: samples scratched by DJ Premier]
   "Uprising surprising"
   "Knowledge wisdom understanding"
  
   [Afu-Ra]
   Smooth like Johnny Cochran, I keep it movin through Brooklyn
   Base against the hymn, brings the sweat to the skin
   Reminisce of the days as a shorty
   Had no stress, no bills, was comin for me
   I lived it up, yeah, money ain't a thing
   Never thought twice on what my future bring
   Role models, naw I thought nothing of it
   Eyes fixed on skies and planes fly high above it
   Summer's comin, September's middle school
   Mom Dukes mad strict, she'll never raise a fool
   I'm comin up, clean the dirty from the ghetto
   So we can plant some seeds and watch them grow
  
   [Chorus]
   Right, knowledge wisdom understanding rules, right
   Everybody got to pay the dues, right
   Knowledge, wisdom understanding rules
   Everybody got to pay the dues
  
   [Afu-Ra]
   Tripped up by bad luck, 16 years and buck
   I realized the world might end, not givin up
   Stickin up, runnin up, comin up
   Turn it up, I see signs of blowin up
   Study life in every facet of my trainin
   We need masters in biology, zoology
   To overtake, Illuminati trick-nology
   Transform, reciprocate your mental state
   Now make a date to overtake your objective
   Show that through light, that everything is connected
   But not in categories, that's the Devil's story
   Symbols of cannibalism, ruin your vision
   The thoughts formulate in your mind with no precision
   So reenact, a rebirth, now you're the Phoenix
   When shorties see it, now that's the time they believe it
   Achieve it, your goals in life, don't be a casualty
   Infinite and intricate, monument
  
   "Knowledge wisdom understanding"
  
   [Chorus]
  
   [Afu-Ra]
   Right, knowledge wisdom understanding, rules
  
   "Uprising, surprising"
  
   [Afu-Ra]
   I know the next millennium seems like it's cursed
   That's why I have to rehearse
   Tune my physical, mental spits the lyrical
   It's so essential, transcends thoughts I'm into
   As we continue, touch rhyme styles I'm into
   All grown up, Junior High to 25
   A made man, tight connection with my brothers
   Bridgin gaps, dodgin traps with my raps
   Signs you're followin, shed more light
   Then a halogen, take a step back, now who you followin?
  
   [Chorus 2X]
