Wisdom, knowledge and understanding
My Mother used to tell us to pray for
Wisdom, knowledge and understanding
My mother said
Seek Wisdom, get knowledge and understanding
My mother said
Seek Wisdom, get knowledge and understanding
Understand, there's a language that commands you to win
Speak life and pretend that it's already big
Let ya mind find light in a loss
And focus more on all the things you will do
Than how much it will cost
Reshape the past by changing your foundation of thought
All distractions are equal
Look in the mirror for fault
Trust and love nobody
I mean, NOBODY
'Cause trust and love don't
Trust and love nobody
What hе or she doesn't know
Will certainly hurt еm
Never assume that you'll get away
With the perfect murder
If the light's green, turnip
Always proceed with caution
After dinner, end with flossing
Brush your teeth, turn off the faucet
Allow humility to intercede
If there's a conflict
Be honest, especially if you
Cannot keep a promise
Don't cry because it's over
Smile, because it happened
And everything is real
According to what's imagined
My mother said

Seek Wisdom (seek wisdom)
Get knowledge And (Get knowledge)

Seek Wisdom (seek wisdom)
Get knowledge (get knowledge)
And understanding (understand)
Don't be surprised
Racism is still alive, brother
Even when TV was Black & white
People saw color
Mend fences, don't burn bridges
Because of offences
Sit and listen
And for closer vision
Put on ya lenses
'Cause the light's blinding
And people don't want you to see
Out of the darkness
They bet on your dependency
Make sure you work for a cause
And for the applause
Live life to express
And not to impress em all
Don't strive to make your presence noticed
Just make your absence felt, holding focus
Do this, by knowing your motive
Keep ya friends close
And your enemies closer
Don't be content with getting a job
Be an Owner
All of the things I wish my Father had told me, first
Break the curse, learn to let go and don't be a jerk
Thank Momma for caring enough to give you birth
And when you question your worth
Imagine how much it hurt

Seek Wisdom (seek wisdom)
Get knowledge and (get knowledge)
Understanding (understand)
