[Hook: Knows]
This ladder of information learned is worse
But the latter's worth is no less than the first
If scattered the seed will give birth if the soil isn't dirt
And the wicked doesn't trip us on our way up
[Verse 1: Propaganda]
Well if a thousand words is said in one look
Then glance at the fist clenched for the hook
TV the fallacy factory
Because you exist, we resist
Got to see through what you perceive to be
And between me and you it seems to be
They penetrate our homes with bones to pick saying
"All we good for is thug and drug slinging"
For real, I ain't feeling the picture that y'all be painting
Every time a show it's rap or gun spraying
Or comedians and none of that sound right
Peep them cats' sound bites, they wonder why we still fighting
Lions, pride in to the core and you're not part of the solution
You [?] with the distortion
My people keep in mind you can't say stop
They ain't gon' show what y'all won't watch
[Hook: Knows]
This ladder of information learned is worse
But the latter's worth is no less than the first

And the wicked doesn't trip us on our way up
[Verse 2: Knows]
I got some information that might be valuable to the mass
Orientate a view of society if they would listen
But trying now's a mission in itself
So we travel with no wealth
Sure won't put away those past convictions
Rehabilitate these addiction pain victim, sick (mm mm mm)
And can't even combat what makes us so flat
But ain't this the third dimension?
Learn the rules, use 'em as tools
Don't wear the jewels, spread 'em
Inhibitions, dead 'em
If they listen, they will evolve far but only if you let 'em
Before [?] will always set 'em straight just to escalate
Spread a taste over every plate tectonic
Information age spread sonic
Phonic eye tonic for intuition and higher harmonics
This mission is to spread so that we can transcend
We and them, meaning all not just us
We go up this ladder
[Hook: Knows]
This ladder of information learned is worse
But the latter's worth is no less than the first
If scattered the seed will give birth if the soil isn't dirt
And the wicked doesn't trip us on our way up
[Verse 3: Raphi]
Yo you gotta read in between the lines to find the truth they hide
No use if I just rely on what they put into the books
Written by the crooks, so I look not to fox eye witness fools
Mass media tools spread more chaos
All fed by greed, I fight to be freed
In the weeds of yesterday's seeds
I'm peeping watch and it's seeping
No time for sleeping
Airwaves, internet magazines and paper stakes
And the takers fakers and the real
I can't let 'em steal my purpose in life
Gotta work this thing right
Perfect seems like you can't
Stay level when the planet's on a slant
You could rant and rave, that won't save you from
Sooner or later having to make a decision to stop playing dumb
Or forever be on the run, choose one
[Hook: Knows]
This ladder of information learned is worse
But the latter's worth is no less than the first
If scattered the seed will give birth if the soil isn't dirt
And the wicked doesn't trip us on our way up
