Keep moving forward
Don't let nobody bring you down
It's up to you what happens here on out
(here on out)
You are keen intellect creative being
Tell me that you know, that you know
That you know that you're more than this
Keep moving

We more than image is often depicted
Jealous of business trying to
Employ our children
And destroy our mental everyday
We more conditioned
To conform to ignorance and ignore wisdom
A darker pigment gets you 50
Shots and cops acquitted
While Mumia dreams of freedom from
A cot in prison knowledge of self helped me
Understand my origin
From Africans to broken families
And cotton pickers
We all witness pictures of starving children
In the mother land
Stripped of all it's riches
It's a dirty game for brothers
The odds against us
Beneath the sheets of the clan or politicians
Don't care about us or our condition
During Katrina Bush was giving
Us the middle finger
While we prayed for Haiti
Others preyed on Haiti
Like beasts, stealing bodies
Organ donations and babies

Keep moving forward
Don't let nobody bring you down
It's up to you what happens here on out
(here on out)
You are keen intellect creative being
Tell me that you know, that you know
That you know that you're more than this
Keep moving

We more than pant sagging ignorance
In fact, spell sagging backwards it's niggas
Pick your pants up enhance your
Appearance it traps us
And stereotypes embedded in slaves by masters
Didn't want slaves to read
Education enhances
If the mind is free there's a chain reaction
Let's compare slaves to rappers
They censor freedom of speech and
Very few leave with masters
He who has nothing is intrigued with status
Is a lie i can't believe these rappers
A label makes 10 million
When your CD's platinum
What did you bring home? Did you recoup?
Are you mad I understand
I'm speaking the truth
Stop hurting our women and
Deceiving the youth
You're bringing us down worse
Than the media do
But we expect that from them
We don't need it from you

Keep moving forward
Don't let nobody bring you down
It's up to you what happens here on out
(here on out)
You are keen intellect creative being
Tell me that you know, that you know
That you know that you're more than this
Keep moving

I'm un-apologetically the color god intended
Indeed, I'm unique melanin underneath ebony
Is a blessing yet my disparity is
Feared by people who lack clarity
To understand and weep
Brilliant resilience spiritual
Beautiful people
The original buildings and teachers
Of Kemet in Egypt hieroglyphics depicted us
Who lightened the features?
Why do images of Jesus
Rival biblical teachings
And gentrify like the city limit's
Unclearly different from the
Uptown of Big L or Bed-Stuy Biggie lived in
Barely existences, it's modern segregation
Displacement of color faces whose
Rent has risen
They say that eyes don't lie, I bear witness
It's time to respect our elders
And care for our children
Deserve better than we had
And a clearer understanding of
Knowledge of self
I'm here to help prepare you

Keep moving forward
Don't let nobody bring you down
It's up to you what happens here on out
(here on out)
You are keen intellect creative being
Tell me that you know, that you know
That you know that you're more than this
Keep moving
