Pedagogue Of Young Gods Lyrics<\/h3>\n

Are you afraid to have someone believe in you?
\nCan you commit to your ideals?
\nEven if you think nothing of it,
\nare you willing to allow others to think the world of it,
\nand of you?
\nPedagogue of Young Gods.<\/p>\n

All slavery ever does is free you.
\nAll anyone ever does is an example.
\nAll power is just collective energy.
\nTo abuse the privilege is to sell your soul
\nand that is to rent with the illusion of owning.
\nWe are the landlords.
\nIf you misunderstand us,
\nyou’re dead and deserve your demise<\/strong>.<\/font>
\nYour dominion is your overthrow.
\nThe controllers are controlled.<\/strong>
\nSpread the word,
\nit will save you
\nand depends on you to be understood.
\nThere is no school bell, only nursery.
\nOur heroes reward us with stars,
\never-still, ever-moving.
\nWe sing to ourselves in our cars.
\nMusic is our sanctuary.<\/strong>
\nAnywhere you put it it’s ours.
\nOur living voice,
\nour living testament.
\nWe dream aloud,
\nwe scream and shout.
\nOur courage will defeat them.
\nOur struggle will unite us.<\/strong><\/font>
\nOur wisdom is ourselves<\/strong>,
\nour resources our own,
\nour blood ocean,
\nour skin oil.
\nWe are mountain and waterfall,
\nthey cannot contain us.
\nTheir prisons will not restrain us,
\ntheir customs will not un-name us.
\nWe are what they<\/em> know in their hearts,
\nyou<\/em> guessed it,
\nyou<\/em> knew that,
\nyou<\/em> felt it,
\nyou<\/em> tried to doubt it,
\ndenied it,
\nbut you<\/em> knew it<\/strong>,
\nain’t nobody had to tell you.
\nWe had them from the start.
\nA world apart, a world within,
\nancient and luminous.
\nThe before before and the hereafter.
\nWe are the essence of laughter.
\nThe comforting prayer
\nand the gatekeepers
\nand the street-sweepers.
\nA mountain of ports outside of a city of dreams.
\nA bird that prays, yet offers its wingspan to the wind.
\nThings are not as they seem.
\nWe hover above while giving the appearance of scurrying below.
\nAll is as it should be.
\nWe are more than we know.<\/strong>
\nMore than we hoped and dreamed,
\na generation of generators,
\na power source and supply.
\nThe better we learn to live,
\nthe better we learn to die.
\nOld as anything,
\nold as everything,
\nwe are participants in a ritual
\nolder than our collective memory,
\na marriage of heart and mind,
\nsecular and divine.<\/p>\n

All is as it should be.
\nSlavery carefully bred us.
\nNo child of Greece or Rome can behead us.
\nWe are ahead of our time.<\/strong>
\nSlavery was simply a state of mind.
\nHip-hop reminded us of confidence.
\nOvercoming now is simply common sense.
\nYou deserve the ice and the riches of Solomon.
\nBut don’t let warped values turn you into hollow men.
\nEducation is the only thing given that cannot be taken.
\nLearn to think for yourself,
\nanalyze the forsaken.
\nPimp your fears,
\nsurrender to love,<\/strong>
\ndance all night when you need to.<\/strong><\/font>
\nPlay this song for a thug,
\nlet ’em know ain’t no judgment.
\nWe all hustle and grind,
\nany system against us is against the divine.<\/em>
\nBut there’s no sense of glory in repenting<\/strong><\/font>,
\nand repeating<\/strong><\/font>,
\ntheir mistakes<\/strong><\/font>.
\nYou<\/em> have a greater calling.
\nAnswering it is all it takes.
\nTake a second to hear this
\nand go back about your day.<\/strong>
\nKnow that laws don’t govern us,
\nwe’re governed by what we say.
\nWhat we think, why we think it, how we handle.
\nPlace no blame<\/font>, point no fingers<\/font>, take your<\/em> aim.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shoot to kill<\/font>. The bullshit.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Now hear the powerful song:
