[both] It ain't no mystery .. (4X) 
"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that's who!" (3X) 
"Hoo that's the man!" [both] It ain't no mystery 
"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that's who!" (3X) 
"Hoo that's the man!" [both] It ain't no mystery 
[Lord Jamar] 
Well can you tell me where to find that Mystery God 
I don't see him, so you know the shit is kinda hard 
I searched and searched, but still there's no sign 
It's gotta be a trick for the deaf dumb and blind 
Now would you set up home, and wait for a Mystery God 
to bring Food, Clothing, and Shelter? 
Emphatically no! 
Mathematically that just don't go 
See me and my people been lost for over 400 years 
and done tried this Mystery God 
And all we got was hard times 
Hunger and nakedness, from the snake that hissed 
Beaten and killed by the ones 
who say, "Look to the sky for your piece of the pie" 
And didn't want to tell you that God's within self 
Bloodsuckers of the poor want to keep your wealth 
Keep you a slave, so you don't misbehave 
You never know the truth til you're dead in your grave 
That's when you want to come back, but there ain't no haps 
Traps, caught you like a good strong buck, now you're fucked! 
But my Third Eye helps me see 
that the Black Man's God and yo it ain't no mystery 
[both] It ain't no mystery .. (2X) 
[Sadat X] 
Who is the Mystery God, have you seen him? 
You can keep searchin for a trillion years 
Keep spreadin dates but he never appears 
Crazy delusions of a big white man 
Sittin on the throne, magic wand in his hand.. 
"You go to heaven! Dude, you go to hell!" 
Churches think this mystery seems to sell 
Join the 10%, duty to sell the eighty-five 
You got part of your salary when this old God arrives 
I'll be gone, jetti, I nix comedy spook 
John ? is foul, but he still know the truth 
Organized crime, drop you off in America 
Land of the brave, watch the man from the cave 
Used to kneel to the cross for the war with the rappers 
Used to think it great, to rest ? in plates 
Used to pray on my knees to the Mystery for G's 
But instead of gettin G's all I got was free cheese 
and bad advice, a tie around my neck 
Shoot on my collar, to cut off my breath 
But now all that's over, reality rules 
Deal strictly with the gospel of the ? schools 
Preacher preacher you could never be my teacher 
Dealin lies and deceit for some brothers from the street 
Know that the Black Man is God (the Black Man's God) 
There is no mystery 
[both] It ain't no mystery .. (2X) 
"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that's who!" (3X) 
"Hoo that's the man!" [both] It ain't no mystery 
"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that's who!" (3X) 
"Hoo that's the man!" [both] It ain't no mystery 
[Lord Jamar] 
First soul, black like coal 
The Original One, with the power of the sun 
Allah's God, always has been always will be 
Never could be, a fuckin mystery 
But you pray for Jehovah to come 
That'll be the day when you leave the slum 
Until that time, you just keep eatin swine 
Drinkin cheap wine on the welfare line 
[Sadat X] 
Who's the clown, that didn't paint Jesus brown? 
Everybody knows the man was original 
When the jam is over I'ma go and take my vegetable 
check buy a tech let loose in the Vatican 
Courts writin lies, record company is mad again 
These Asiatics is racist 
Because I love the black faces 
So put your bible in the attic cause I didn't come for static 
The True and Living G-O-D 
It ain't no mystery 
[both] It ain't no mystery .. (2X) 
"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that's who!" (3X) 
"Hoo that's the man!" [both] It ain't no mystery 
"Who is that?" "The Supreme Black Man, that's who!" (3X) 
"Hoo that's the man!" [both] It ain't no mystery
