tree of knowledge lyrics
[verse]
behold the emergence of one man’s tale
foretold in the words of a sorcerer’s spell
in the year 2012 when hip+hop fell
it was told there would be one man to rebel
in the book of ancient prophets, passed down through generations
few knew the secrets contained in its pages
the story of a man with the wisdom of the ages
would come to this land to restore the devastation
prophecies were written, you could see the magic
up on top of sugar hill where a seed was planted
and the nutrients were rich though the tree expanded
little did the people know, it would be gigantic
it rose up to the sky, tryna reach the heavens
even just the mere sight of it could leave you breathless
people came from all directions to behold its glory
it was said that every single leaf told the story
if you listen close enough, then you can hear it whisper
secrets of the universe to paint a clearer picture
of a world where our music was nurtured and nourished
before somehow it fell from the hands of the purists
the new millennium was when the first plague struck
and hip+hop artists stopped giving a f+ck
a transition from bang bang boogie to big pimpin’
play it on the radio, “everybody, listen”
now they wanna be out on a yacht, poppin’ cris
and they don’t give a d+mn about the hip+hop tradition
the first block pulled from the tower of jenga
the tree lies defenseless, surrounded by strangers
they picked off the fruit and they chopped off the branches
leaves falling to the ground, the tree weeps in sadness
in oncoming years, they continued to take her
when they figured out that they could use the bark to make paper
thirty years later as the pages told, along comes a man so brave and bold
for his morals, they could never be swayed or sold
to him the tree was worth more than its weight in gold
he walked up to the hill without making a sound
slowly maneuvered his way through the crowd
he walked up to the tree and looked up in disgust
took a deep breath and he started to bust
he sang a song to the rain gods as it poured down
the droplets mixed with the soil in the ground
the roots were rejuvenated and revitalized by the words that he spoke and the fury in his eyes
a group of emcees started running for cover
but it still was not enough to satisfy his hunger
he brought a storm so fierce in the middle of summer
he made drums out of lightning and bass out of thunder
the birds came together singing perfect harmonies
made a song out of nature and the gods were appeased
his verse blew away all the other emcees
he finally rid the tree of its horrible disease
he singlehandedly nursed it back to life
it rose and it grew to tremendous heights
he knew that knowledge was the only key that could set it free
it started with a vision of what hip+hop could be
as wis+m+n predicted, he fulfilled the prophecy
i know what you’re thinking—who could this man be?
i really do wish that i could say it was me
but my story is just another leaf on the tree
my body is the trunk and my feet are the roots
and my arms are the branches and my rhymes are the fruits…
giving birth to the seeds that fall and sprout trees of knowledge
this one here could never be demolished
[bridge]
isor one is a tree of knowledge
absent on the beat, yeah, tree of knowledge
big bad max carnage is a tree of knowledge
to my brother, doa, you a tree of knowledge
identical identity, yeah, tree of knowledge
motherf+cking angel, tree of knowledge
to my big homie, ops, you’re a tree of knowledge
and my man rep thoughts is a tree of knowledge
rest in peace [?], tree of knowledge
that kid who came to get ransom, tree of knowledge
[?], [?], you a tree of knowledge
to my big homie, wisdom, tree of knowledge
the whole bod crew, trees of knowledge
all them ret dudes, trees of knowledge
every one of my homies, you’re all trees of knowledge
stand tall like a redwood, st+rdy and solid

[chorus]
peace to the emcees who be kicking real flows
watch as a sapling sprouts and grows into a glorious tree
it all started with a vision of what hip+hop could be

i say peace to the emcees who be kicking real flows
watch as a sapling sprouts and grows into a glorious tree
it all started with a vision of what music could be
