《Why Is That》歌词

[00:00:00] Why Is That - Boogie Down Productions

[00:00:03] Verse One

[00:00:20] The day begins with a grin

[00:00:22] And a prayer to excuse my sins

[00:00:25] I can walk anywhere I choose

[00:00:27] Cause everybody listens to the B D P crew

[00:00:30] We're not here for glamour or fashion

[00:00:32] But here's the question I'm askin

[00:00:35] Why is it young black kids taught flashin

[00:00:37] They're only taught how to read write and act

[00:00:41] It's like teachin a dog to be a cat

[00:00:42] You don't teach white kids to be black

[00:00:44] Why is that Is it because we're the minority

[00:00:48] Well black kids follow me

[00:00:50] Genesis chapter eleven verse ten

[00:00:52] Explains the geneology of Chem

[00:00:55] Chem was a black man in Africa

[00:00:57] If you repeat this fact they can't laugh at ya

[00:01:01] Genesis fourteen verse thirteen

[00:01:03] Abraham steps on the scene

[00:01:05] Being a descendent of Chem which is a fact

[00:01:08] Means Abraham too was black

[00:01:10] Abraham born in the city of a black man

[00:01:13] Called Nimrod grandson of Kam

[00:01:14] Kam had four sons one was named Canaan

[00:01:18] Here let me do some explaining

[00:01:20] Abraham was the father of Isaac

[00:01:22] Isaac was the father of Jacob

[00:01:25] Jacob had twelve sons for real

[00:01:27] And these were the children of Isreal

[00:01:30] According to Genesis chapter ten

[00:01:32] Egyptains descended from Hahm Kam

[00:01:34] Six hundred years later my brother read up

[00:01:37] Moses was born in Egypt

[00:01:41] In this era black Egyptians weren't right

[00:01:43] They enslaved black Isrealites

[00:01:44] Moses had to be of the black race

[00:01:47] Because he spent fourty years in Pharoah's place

[00:01:49] He passed as the Pharoah's grandson

[00:01:51] So he had to look just like him

[00:01:52] Yes my brothers and sisters take this here song

[00:01:56] Yo correct the wrong

[00:01:57] The information we get today is just wack

[00:01:59] But ask yourself why is that

[00:02:01] Verse Two

[00:02:01] The age of the ignorant rapper is done

[00:02:22] Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone

[00:02:24] The stereotype must be lost

[00:02:27] That love and peace and knowledge is soft

[00:02:30] Do away with that and understand one fact

[00:02:33] For love peace must attack

[00:02:35] And attack real strong stronger than war

[00:02:38] To conquer it and its law

[00:02:40] Mental pictures stereotypes and fake history

[00:02:43] Reinforces mystery

[00:02:43] And when mystery is reinforced

[00:02:47] That only means that knowledge has been lost

[00:02:51] When you know who you really are

[00:02:53] Peace and knowledge shines like a star

[00:02:55] I'm only showin you a simple fact

[00:02:57] It Takes A Nation of MILLIONS to Hold Us people Back

[00:03:00] Which is wack but we can correct that

[00:03:02] Teach and learn what it is to be black

[00:03:05] Cause they're teachin birds to be a cat

[00:03:07] But ask yourself homeboy why is that
