Gary Byrd
People of the world wherever you be
welcome to Cosmic YOUniversity.
Where life is the journey and love is the trip
And the study of them will make you hip.
I'm professor of the rap and when I speak
I guarantee that my lines will not be weak.
They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste
That's why I'm here and on the case.
Rapping up every mind with a special degree in socio-psycholo G.B.E.
The Gary Byrd Experience is my course
When you take my class you will feel the force.
'Cause I know the roots that the rap is from
When I speak to you I am not dumb.
Hear my rap and begin to dance
and I promise you this you will advance.
You may have seen the Raiders of the Lost Ark
But you still lefl the theatre in the darkl
So clap your hands to the beat as the Wondersound
And the G.B.E. shine on the Crown.
You wear the Crown
I wear the Crown
So proud to say that we all wear the Crown
the Crown.
I do recall so very well
when I was just a little boy
I used to hurry home from school
I used to always feel so blue
Because there was no mention in the books
we read about my heritage.
So therefore any information that I got was education.
Bums
hobos at depot stations
I would listen with much patience
Or to relatives who told the tales that they were told to pass ahead.
And then one day from someone old
I heard a story never told
Of all the kingdoms of my people
and then how we fought for freedom
All about the many things we have unto the world contributed.
You wear the crown. - We wear the crown - we wear the Crown.
It's not Star Wars
it's not Superman
it's not the story of the Ku-Klux-Klan.
The crown will appear in the G.B.E.
but it's never seen on your T.V.
It's in black and white in your gold mind
a picture so old it defies time.
Alex Haley drew it in his book
it's what Kunta kept in his other foot.
Ghana Songhay and old Mali
they are the roots of your own family tree.
Kingdom so vast and knowledge wise
They removed cataracts from human eyes.
And yet today some refuse to see
and live in fear of their discovery.
Now in fourteen hundred and ninety-two Columbus sailed to ocean - true.
But years before in Alkebu a ship set sail with a chocolate crew.
2000 years before Columbo came
the Olmecs paid tribute to their fame.
Stone heads with faces eight feet high
that the Hulk could not lifl to his thig
Though the facts historians avoid
first to arrive was the Africoid.
It may shock the House and Shockley
And if you're not prepared it may shock you
While some had doubts that the world was round.
In America guess who wore the Crown.
I wear the Crown
you wear the Crown
So proud to say that we all wear the Crown
get down.
You wear the Crown
I wear the Crown
So proud to say that we all wear the Crown
