Lyrics: The word is not simply a scribbled symbol or a spoken sound The word is not like a roaring lion that no one really fears No, the word has power And it can be your most trusted friend or your most terrible foe You see like a seed, the word gives life Like a lamp, the word gives light Like a mirror the word reflects Like water, the word washes Like fire, the word cleanses Like a hammer, the word shatters Like a sword, the word cuts Oh but like medicine, the word heals And like a counselor, the word comforts You see the word is alive, and it is waiting Waiting for you to summon it like a soldier And send it forth into battle, so speak They tell me I sound like a prophet Feedin' my niggas with knowledge Mistaken, it's been too much fakin' Thorough nigga business, we keepin' it solid I’m ready to teach and learn Educating for this heaven on earth Overcomin' all my family doubts The man of the house, no man to observe Shit can get worse but we pullin' through I’m illuminating that entire equation, creatin' I know you can't see it right now But I’m teachin' my niggas to be better communicators They dumbin' us down, one by one huntin' us down I try not to sound like a preacher But if our daughters and sons are kings and queens They have to be prepped to be leaders Follow and order his steps The man with the plan gets most the respect So I’m bowin' down with my hands together Forever prayin' for anyone losing they strength We in this together right? There’s reasons for you to believe it Inspired when found it in what I was readin' And now I feel like it's what I should be teachin' Startin' with "The First Agreement" I’ll remain humble and my heart is always open Cause I understand behind every great man is some situations As I look into your eyes, I see the pain that I’ve caused And so I apologize To my single parents that's young Mama's not holdin' her tongue It’s a shame but even through all of your pain I hope you teach your child how to love I’m lovin' they feelin' we doing it right For my niggas that's losin' they sight You cannot criticize anything that you do if you’re always a student to life A product of truth Sad part if it’s hard to be yourself you’re a part of it too Now I’m breakin' it down, so it’s understanding Me philosophy comes with the proof Success requires a push Straight forward is the only way to look I heard if you wanna hide something from a nigga The best way to do it is to put it in the books So they makin' shit difficult I'ma talk about the principles in general as individuals You ballin', you made it, you happy and flexin' Every rapper story sound identical You seekin' a better life There’s reasons for you to believe it I picked up a book and was readin' And now I feel like it’s what I should be teachin' Startin' with "The First Agreement" I’ll remain humble and my heart is always open Cause I understand behind every great man, is some situations As I look into your eyes, I see the pain that I’ve caused And so I apologize
