You break a wall of consciousness or illusion
Just to see a new one behind the first
Do it again, rewind it and break down multiple barriers -
By the time you know the craft, you recognize the end of your life
Standing right in front, together with another wall
Making fun of your human curiosity, so
I ask myself is there a point in knowledge
When the more you learn the more you don't know…
Well, maybe there is, because for the brief period of your existence
It's worth being able to elevate above your physical appearance
And determine how fake everything you hear is
Let your knowledge be your main menace –
Be sure to observe first and then exclaim intellect
And you never neglect your own mind
‘cause erudition is the equivalent of power and as Vinnie says
“A strong body can never conquer a righteous mind”
If you're informed, you will be admired -
The reason why in every game I play
With my knowledgeable cards and by now in every f**ing stanza
I was dumb and narrow minded with a mental outlook
Barely reaching several kilometers
But became wise and active with an amazingly large vision
In distances of light years
And no matter how egotistic it might sound and seem
I owe this to hip hop itself and its sublime nature
Together with the power of letters
So go open and read a damn book
It's shameful that in an era of information
The majority of society is making cults of ideas and images
Without really knowing what their preaching is
And as a consequence of all this
It's strange how people go against their own selves
By violating the meanings that they claim to believe in
They follow oscars and worship parvenus
With brain cells barbequed while being swept away
By a vicious dead flow
Outlying from a debut of a conscious life
It is not modern to be illiterate
But more like straight lethal
So next time you sympathize ignorance of any aspect
Remember how you bury your potential success
Stamped by the war boots
Of the march of the consciousness
And as Donny Miller said
“In an era of information ignorance is a choice”
