Enlightenment and Awareness in Hip Hop, page 6

Aint nobody gonna lead the way
It's up to you and me to make the differences we're trying to
See and take control of our own minds
How many people got control of their mind?

Take control of our own minds, stop letting them
Shape and mold'em till we go blind

>>Unlock your brain and set your mindstate free<<

Conscience:

Once you open the door there ain't no closing it you're
A soldier at war living within the core of the storm
Just like the war on CNN, a war where these men sent
Missiles at innocent victims and swore to defend them
I'm talking about the war for your soul, and the corporate goal
Ownership of everything and total control
Over every facet of life that we live, hell, that's the reason that we
Rap on the mics to these kids we're trying to reach'em so they'll
Stand up and fight to resist the system
Help their minds get equipped quicker cause the cycle just gets sicker
The more that we sip liquor and hope that it gets rid of
The problems and makes life better it's more bitter
Yo I'm not a bull#ter, man...everything that glitters can't
Be gold we sold our souls for so little and
Now we gotta stop following these fake leaders
Stand proud and stop following what they feed us.

[Chorus]

Ain't nobody gonna lead the way
It's up to you and me to make the differences we're trying to
See and take control of our own minds stop letting them
Shape and mold'em till we go blind

>>Unlock your brain and set your mindstate free<<

Mos Eisley:

Once you open your eyes, there ain't no going back to closing your mind
You're chosen to shine, unknowingly frozen in time
From Atlantis to Sumer, Babylon to Rome
On to the average consumer who just travels on the road
From Plato NATO to the gavel that they hold
To the billions of children like cattle that they sold
Everyday it's like a battle for your soul
Be aware of all the weapons that you have at your disposal
Know, without a doubt in your heart and soul that
No man can stop you from reaching the hardest goal but
You allow it to happen, you cower but you got the power to stop'em
The power to trap'em and lock'em in
They can't live without your fear like it was oxygen
So breathe in deep and expel the fear and toxins
Stand with me, you might feel the sands shifting
And step away from the sins of our ancestry

[Chorus]

>>Unlock your brain and set your mindstate free<<

The Lost Children Of Babylon - Through The Eyes Of An Embryo


Lyrics are no where to be found on the net so listen with all of your being. In my opinion this is on the of the most profound hip-hop songs ever written.

Note the album that this song appeared on "Where Light Was Created: The Equidivium" was released a week after 9/11
