Chorus X1 I'm mining for that knowledge of self It's suicidal to be dumb, blind, deaf when you aint got nothing left I'm mining for that knowledge of self It's suicidal to be dumb, blind, deaf when you aint got nothing left And I aint got nothing left! Verse 1 Farrington Black and a Master, Benjamin Bannecker of rap I'm a phantom, I Craft alabaster I be telling truth and they think that I'm bragging Had to disappear cause they ain't understand him God using my soul, mind and body Rapid like a K, Impact like a shotty! I'm that African King, whole World forgot me Mn Cold got my nose all snotty Snow I'm plowing, know I'm plotting I am no longer picking Cotton, kid stop it All you devils screaming out "All Lives Matter" Wasn't saying that when those Black Lives splattered Reason why? Black on Black crime was your answer? Look in the mirror and watch the glass shatter Spirit full of dark matter, climbing a tall ladder They tried to bury the truth you hearing Gods laughter. Next chapter Chorus 1x I'm mining for that knowledge of self It's suicidal to be dumb, blind, deaf when you aint got nothing left I'm mining for that knowledge of self It's suicidal to be dumb, blind, deaf when you aint got nothing left And I aint got nothing left! Bridge 1x Khem woman, khem man, khem child, Khem clan Khem woman, khem man, khem child, Khem clan Khem woman, khem man, khem child, Khem clan Khem woman, khem man, khem child, Khem clan! Verse 2 ShaVunda I channel the flyest rhymes the Constellations designed It's intuition! When I'm on the mic mad science spitting! Sucka Mcees get they voice-box kicked in! When they deny the truth that wasn't written but carved into stone, taught to greeks and romans by nubians before our culture was stolen! Rather beat into submission Still living in our blood but to most it's hidden We turn oppression into art To get free through blood memory tune into your heart where in lies a spark from primordial dark to the living from words, sound, power comes fruition Without fear, gotta believe to have Just because the master offer it don't mean we grab It's a nigga trap that we bees in Activate your inner-sun and keep your Pineal from freezing Its what they fear your acclimate squared to the truth When you hear the clan rip the roof

Chorus 1x We Know the truth and so we live free We know the truth There's greatness in me We know the truth We don't just believe We know the truth we know the truth! Verse 1x Farrington Life happens fast, don't be in a rush They say blacks bad, who are they to judge We was caught up in a lifestyle that really wasn't us Looked inside that foggy mirror wiped away the dust I can see it all clear! Why I'm really here to counter all that bull they be spitting in your ear cause I used to be niggery clothes fit big on me grew up in the ghetto used to let the system limit me my whole identity before i learned my history was based on imagery the media was giving me Had us caught up in this misery, fighting white supremacy I found my blood memory! now I'm free Cause we know the truth Chorus 1x We Know the truth and so we live free We know the truth There's greatness in me We know the truth We don't just believe We know the truth we know the truth! Verse 1x ShaVunda It's a scramble for freedom when the ink hits the pad If you're not level headed then your sure to go mad! I done learned the truth and I ain't never going back I'm headed to the stars with golden bars to do the math Compass residing in the eye called third no time to sleep on dreams I'm not a creature of this earth but a divine being and black men I find meaning when they understand that they're the kingdom respect the Queenship I need a God to build a team with live as rebel rousers, manifest my dreams with Not just a truth sayer I live a life truth led get off your knees it was blood that your ancestors shed Lets go to work for ourselves and nobody else If their not giving up their privilege then their here collecting wealth. We've given enough power to the ones that wear the mask It's time to build the black wall street of the past Chorus x1 We Know the truth and so we live free We know the truth There's greatness in me We know the truth We don't just believe We know the truth we know the truth!

Verse 1 ShaVunda Laughing in the sun not over come with worries pouring liquor for the elders and the children who been buried and for them I keep joy and for them I keep my heart my enemies will get their justice I ain't stunting on that part Back to the magic water wash away the madness Cause I can have anything what mind controls matters perceptions get shattered when I step on stage and yea I used to be broke and look at what God made Chorus X1 This is Khem clan and we demand That everybody get up and they wave they hands This is khem clan and we demand That everybody get up and they wave they hands And if you feeling what you hearing come on dance And if you feeling what you hearing come on dance And if you feeling what you hearing turn up on the spot we wanna see who got the best up-rock Verse 2 Farrington WHen I was out in Vegas I seen the imitation then I flew to ancient kemet on vacation And saw the real thing Pyramids Kings we look like the statues I can see the link I used to be a rift wrath, a test given now I'm reppin Khem Clan, I'm blessed gifted Teks Lifted Dress vintage quick to tell a supremest to check privilege that's just me tho don't care if you act heathen I kick it with them Black vegans not dreaming like King cause if Martin Luther King knew what integration dreams do We would've stuck together like the hebrews I do this to uplift black people, we all do better when we all do better and i'ma protest till its equal we all do better when we all do better! Chorus X1 This is Khem clan and we demand That everybody get up and they wave they hands This is khem clan and we demand That everybody get up and they wave they hands And if you feeling what you hearing come on dance And if you feeling what you hearing come on dance And if you feeling what you hearing turn up on the spot we wanna see who got the best up-rock
