[Intro Skit: Class Teacher]
Quiet down class, qu-quiet down!
Mister Preston, take your seat please!
Miss Davenport cellphones turned off and put away!
Honestly people, my heavens!
Thank you! Now today' session we feature a very special guest
He comes to us all the way from Saint Louis, Missouri
His name is Prince Ea
Some of you young people might already be familiar with him
Mister Ea will be attempting a feat that is never yet been accomplished in the history of Hip Hop
A lyrical look into the 3 pounds organ between the ears and behind the eyes
The human brain
Now without further ado
Is it truly an honor to have him with us today
Please gives Mister Ea a warm welcome

[Verse 1: Prince Ea]
It's a puzzle, so subtle, I'm going to take it apart
Hemispherically divested of its extraneous parts
See encompassed inside of that cranial vault
Is the brain, the mainframe
And its expansion was due to the advancement of language and art
But before that, it was used to outsmart predators
Physically weak, yo, we had to be exceptional
We had to adapt, we had to make developments
Living on Mother Natures doorstep
In Africa them Savannahs was absolutely enormous
The carnivore threat had us stressed
Until them neurons started to fire like a Corvette
And Nature selected, and we evolved the more sophisticated cerebral cortex
This is the part for deep thought and consciousness
Them tiny little Hominids finally got cognitive
We started living in groups, developing tools
Co-operating and distributing food
It may not seem like much but for our species
The way of life changed and our image improved
The occipitals grew, the parietals and the temporal too
The frontal lobe damn near went through the roof
If you don’t know what these are let me explain them to you, let me explain
This is the brain
[Skit: Teacher]
Wow! That was amazing! I told you guys he was good
How do you talk so fast? That's, astounding!
Oh! Wha- Oh! There's more!? Oh, I'm sorry! Sorry, sorry!

[Verse 2: Prince Ea]
Now see the parietal lobe is the spacial awareness center
It prevents you from bumping into things, maintaining the body's position
Assessing the distance from objects
Along with keeping a composite of your self image
Now the occipital region is limited division
Perception like a projector for a motion picture
It’s simple, after you see an image its characteristics
Are transmitted to this area for recognition
Now the temporal is something different
Complex and extensive on both sides like peripherals
Derived from its Latin name lobus tempus, or lobus temporalis
Meaning pod in the temple of the head
Which makes perfect sense, because this is the area you access
When you’re remembering a prayer
Yeah, your memory and the auditory senses
Language, comprehension's also found in this dimension
Now, the frontal lobe runs the show
Comparatively the largest of frame
And no other part of the brain is coming close
The most evolved of all the faculties
Its main objective is to act as chief executive of the factory
Responsible for creative thinking, strategy
Decision making, motor functions and personality
The Da Vinci in the cranial cavity
But it's the connection to the lobes as a whole that truly makes the masterpiece
With this device there's nothing too challenging
Because if it can be conceived then it can be done
Look at our keystones, we went from primitive acting
All the way to splitting the atom and the sequencing the genome
From harnessing fire by Homo Erectus
To the limitless energy systems of Nikola Tesla
To the Sumerians creating the wheel
To German inventor, Karl Benz, making the first true automobile
All that we need is the chance and the tools
And we can do anything that we set our minds to
It was flight, the one thing they said Man couldn't do
Until the Wright Brothers came with the plans they drew
Of course leave it up to man to go further and greater
Only 30 years later we had a man on the moon
Examine the examples of proof of Man's intelligence
The advances made in medicine have been exceptional
We've saved and extended many lives
Cause human beings were only supposed to live to age 55
Naturally, but now we go past that
See, limitations have always been something that we laughed at
But don't brag cause there's trouble next door
And our species has always held that double-edged sword
The more time that passed, we struggled to find out path
And for every good accomplishment is a counterpart twice as bad
[Verse 3: Prince Ea]
We lose touch living life so fast
And exhibit behavior that can be defined as a psychopath
As we advance we lose the basics, we still divide people into races
And don't realize superiority by pigmentation
Is nothing more than a figment of all our imaginations
Look at the "science" of eugenics, one of the worst crimes to be committed
Systematically sterilizing people for half a century
Throwing them into ghettos and calling that "Survival of the Fittest"
How smart is the man that's blinded by conviction?
We don't understand certain laws are intrinsic
Rationalize genocide away and defend it
And naturalize the objectification of women and their subservient position
See, the brain is a prison, home to many mal dispositions
From imperialism, colonialism, exploitation, McDonalization and hedonism;
Pedophilia, greed, the need to pillage and coerced by religion
That keep people submissive
The way we live is parasitic and intrusive, environmentally abusive
To the point that the only thing we really produce is pollution
It's been happening for so long we don't see a solution
But there is one, if we act quickly
We don't have to be trapped by our past history
We can change it, rearrange it cause the brain is endowed
With a funny thing called plasticity
Which means the brain is plastic
And we can mold it and shape it in whichever way that we imagine
We can build a utopian palace
Or it can be the reason our entire species collapses
Look, it's up to us what our future holds
We've got to stop abusing our homes
Let's stop overruling that Golden Rule for the Rule of Gold
Let's take our minds out of cruise control
Man, let's stop snoozing, let's stop feuding
See that we are brothers and let's make truces
See, it was written in our blueprint
You can't spell evolve without love so stop being foolish
Let's take a lesson from our children
And see the beauty that every Human Being is imbued with
And maybe one day in our future
We can replace the violence with violins and music
It's not too late, let's do this
Let's develop our minds, let's not lose them
