Poor Righteous Teachers
Poor Righteous Teachers Lyrics

Yo g
Hey, what's going on man? I'm maintaining.

Check it out we been rockin' all these hype cuts right?
Listen, we have been playing all these popular songs, you know what I'm saying?

Ya know what I'm sayin' butt-naked booty bless, time to say peace.
You understand what I'm saying, it's time to end this party and bid farewell.

But we ain't come up wit no theme song yet.
But we haven't created our own anthem yet.

So do you have any rhymes in your third eye you feel like bustin' or discussing?
Do you have any lyrics or ideas in your mind that you want to share or talk about?

Right about this time
At this very moment

Yo...yo...
Hey...hey...

Let me hear some then
Then go ahead and share them with me

Check...
Listen...

Since tone laid these funky new radical tracks
Since Tony D created these fresh, innovative beats

I'ma have ta do somethin' about that
I need to take action to address that

As the mind gets hot the brain gets like a heater.
When the mind is stimulated, the brain becomes active.

Wise poor righteous teacher.
I am a wise teacher who advocates for the poor and righteous.

Truth I'm gonna teach ya
I am here to teach you the truth.

From knowledge is born
Knowledge gives birth to understanding.

My word is bond
My word is my promise.

From dawn to dawn
From sunrise to sunset

I could go on
I could continue speaking

To infinite states
To countless levels or stages of understanding

The temple is great
The mind is a powerful and magnificent place

I'm plantin' da bait
I am setting a trap to lure in those who are not wise

Awaitin' the snakes
Waiting for those who are deceitful or dishonest

The physical eye
The ability to see with the physical senses

Detecting the wise
Recognizing those who possess wisdom

Beginning to rise
Starting to gain prominence or influence

So take a look at the gods!!
Pay attention to those who are divinely enlightened

Built the blacks
Empowering and uplifting the black community

All that attack
Anyone who opposes or criticizes

Perceive the beats
Understand the rhythm and flow of the music

But the wise is all that
But those who possess wisdom are the most important

Tell me what's up
Inform me of the situation

You want to take my square
Are you trying to challenge or take my position?

I'm like "who, what, when, where?"
I am asking for more information about your intentions

We can do this n' get it done
We can confront this issue and resolve it

Face to face
In direct confrontation or interaction

Pocket the pipe punk
Put away your weapon, coward

Stop poppin' da base
Stop causing trouble or instigating conflicts

Let the lord proceed
Allow the divine guidance to take over

Take heed ta what's right
Pay attention and follow what is morally correct

As I feed the greed
While I satisfy my desires or ambitions

Indeed...i bust the mic.
Truly...I excel in rapping or performing on the microphone.

I'm blowin n' glowin
I am shining and radiating with talent and success

And growin' n' going for mine.
And progressing and striving for my own success.

I slow wit da flow
I have a smooth and steady rhythm in my delivery

N' show n' prove in da rhyme
And demonstrate through my lyrics

'Cause I'm the king I quote
Because I am a highly respected and influential figure

G-o-d I'm god is short for spellin' it
G-o-d, it's an abbreviation to spell out 'God'

Tamper wit god indeed I mentally beat cha'
Messing with God, I can mentally defeat you

'Cause I am the wise
Because I am knowledgeable and wise

And you're who?!
And who are you?

Poor righteous teachers
I am a member of the group Poor Righteous Teachers

That sounds dope god but can you kick another funky verse for me one time?
That sounds amazing, my friend, but can you perform another cool verse for me one more time?

And you know that
And you are aware of that

Then do that
Then go ahead and do it

As the wise get going
As the knowledgeable people start taking action

The thoughts are flowin'
Their ideas or insights are flowing effortlessly

Alone the marvelous god
By myself, the extraordinary god

Is mackin' da microphone
Is showing off my skills on the microphone

I'm wearin' out n' tearin' it up
I am performing with great energy and enthusiasm

The snakes are jealous
The deceitful people are envious

Yeah but so what
Yes, but it doesn't matter

Gimme some room some physical space
Give me some space, some physical distance

The capital 'g'
The letter 'G' written in uppercase

Wise god is in da place
The knowledgeable god is present in this situation

Teachin' the poor
Educating the less fortunate

Cuzz I'm the chief speaker
Because I am the main or primary spokesperson

Turn it around
Change the situation or perspective

Get down poor righteous teacher!!!
Listen carefully to the teachings of the Poor Righteous Teachers!

I'ma level above all the brothers that disrespect
I am superior to all the individuals who show disrespect

If your name is on my list believe it's checked
If I have you on my list, consider yourself acknowledged or accounted for

The king I quote I believe has made his mark
The influential king I mention has left his impact

Prt...Poor righteous teacher sparks
Poor Righteous Teachers...their actions and teachings create a spark

Light of the insight show the third eye
Illuminate the understanding and awareness of the inner spiritual eye

Ya tamper with god conceived a dis you die!
If you interfere with God, you will suffer a severe consequence!

The mic's in my hand
I have control of the microphone

I'm provin' I can
I am demonstrating my ability

I'm running the snakes up outta divineland
I am driving away the deceitful individuals from this divine place

As I get wise I watch ya get weaker
As I become more knowledgeable, I observe you becoming more vulnerable

Eyes on the prize
Focusing on the ultimate goal or reward

And you're who?!
And who are you?

Poor righteous teachers
I am a member of the group Poor Righteous Teachers

That sounded dope!...
That sounded great!...

And you know that
And you are well aware of that

But um,...I'm still thirstin' for another verse so could ya kick one to me right about now
But um,...I still want to hear another verse, so can you perform one for me right now?

As long as the sun exist within the solar
As long as the sun exists within our solar system

The king I quote? Is gonna go for
The influential king I mentioned? They are going to strive for

Droppin' da jewels, stoppin' da snakes, rockin' the punks
Sharing valuable knowledge, thwarting deceitful individuals, and impressing the weak

That's doin' what
That's accomplishing what they are meant to do

That's poppin' the base.
That's raising the energy and excitement.

Their message is soft.
Their message lacks strength or impact.

They can't flow it.
They cannot deliver it with skill or ease.

They come to witness
They come to observe or experience

Stumble, fast forward it.
Faltering, quickly move past it.

Rewind the tape let knowledge be born
Go back and revisit the recording to allow knowledge to be shared

Give the understandin' proceed to go on.
Provide the understanding and let it continue to develop.

Like me" the g, the o, the d "
Like me, the god

Servin just-the i, the see, the e
Providing just the intellect and enlightenment

Bond is my word
I am true to my word

Stop n' observe
Pause and pay attention

The wise is god
The knowledgeable ones are divine

Oh...
Oh...

You've already heard
You have already been informed

Now is the thought that I wise constructs
Now is the idea that my wisdom creates

Here's your chance to dance
This is your opportunity to enjoy and celebrate

Do what I thought up
Do what I have come up with

Musical fitness
Musical ability or aptitude

Bear witness
Witness or acknowledge

Yeah, come on dis this
Yeah, bring it on, confront or challenge this

Manifestation of man
The physical embodiment of humanity

That knows he's man
That is aware of his own humanity

Ya tamper with god you die!
If you interfere with God, you will suffer a severe consequence!

Understand
Comprehend or grasp the concept

My voice is a magnet catchin' your ear
My voice is captivating and capturing your attention

Ya wanted to dance
You wanted to enjoy and celebrate

But havin' to hear
But having to listen

The gift that I bestow upon the crowd
The talent or blessing that I give to the audience

Letter for letter
Word for word

Whatever, I kick loud
No matter what, I deliver my performance energetically

My brother he's culture
My associate is knowledgeable and cultured

He's a believer
He has faith and trusts in the teachings

'Cause I'm no vulture
Because I am not someone who preys on others

And you're who?!
And who are you?

Poor righteous teachers
I am a member of the group Poor Righteous Teachers
