krs-one - innocent lyrics

[chorus: krs+one]
we come to teach and preach to each, the young and old
what does it profit to gain world but lose your soul?
under the bodhi tree like buddha with a bowl
you can’t believe in everything that you are told

[verse 1: sun+one]
look, they wanna make you dirty to make you feel unworthy
wanna disrupt your fast, now ain’t you hungry, thirsty?
so you won’t feel deservin’, think you ain’t fit for servin’, guilty
beyond the mercy as if there’s no reversin’
don’t want to face a judgement, in fear of self+destruction
ignore divine instructions to get your soul to function
so life is unproductive and got you misconstructed
you blocked by all obstructions that bleed you back to nothing
now you don’t wanna believe, never mind to really know
you can’t forgive yourself, so god of all creation surely won’t
can’t even count your sins too high to even quote and
what they say will bring you salvation? sounds like a f+ckin’ joke
they may claimin’ all these angels and yet you ain’t seen it once
mystical tales of resurrected saviors that never have come
no modern day saints or prophets, god must be all done
and if you can’t walk on water, then you must not be the one!

[chorus: krs+one & sun+one]
yo
we come to teach and preach to each, the young and old
what does it profit to gain world but lose your soul?
under the bodhi tree like buddha with a bowl
you can’t believe in everything that you are told
listen
[verse 2: krs+one]
while others they claim they born sinners, you are born innocent
if you in the hood for good, you should know you innocent
man or woman, you don’t own this land or how you live in it
your name is not your name, it is his name and how he’s written it
you and i, we don’t have control, that’s why we innocent
we livin’ in imprisonment and this is why we innocent
get with it, it’s not that we do not commit these crimes
but to truly be guilty of crime, you gotta be in your right state of mind!
look at the picture! you see what the frame is?
we don’t even speak our own language!
or grow our own foods, or wear our clothes silky
it’s simple, if we don’t govern ourselves we can’t be called guilty
our souls are clean souls, their souls are filthy
filthy with slavery, oppression and robbery, they guilty
we are the innocent, the truth we are living it
look at the symbolism of derek chauvin’s imprisonment
the definition of a chauvin, if i check my memory
is blind enthusiasm for national glory or ascendency
and this is what went to prison, this is what went to prison
that over+exaggerated patriotism, it went to prison

[hook: krs+one]
we come to teach and preach to each, the young and old
what does it profit to gain world but lose your soul?
under the bodhi tree like buddha with a bowl
you can’t believe in everything that you are told
[verse 3: krs+one & sun+one]
liftin’ the mind up, open your eye up
rippin’ these lies up, barely you wiser
time that we rise up, time that we climb up
time that we line up, cuttin’ the pie up
with my affiliates, gettin’ it, spittin’ it, rippin’ it, givin’ it, livin’ it, lyrically k!llin’ it
prophecy, we are fulfillin’ it, still with it
puttin’ that sk!ll in it, we are so real with it
never belligerent, never we ignorant
forever diligent, look how we k!llin it
whoa, stop imitating the demon that stole
you were maintainin’ your innocence
