Boogie Down Productions

Boogie Down Productions was a hip hop group that was originally composed of KRS-One, D-Nice, and DJ Scott La Rock. DJ Scott La Rock was murdered on August 27, 1987, months after the release of BDP's debut album, Criminal Minded. The name of the group, Boogie Down, derives from a nickname for the South Bronx section of The Bronx, one of the five boroughs of New York City. The group pioneered the fusion of dancehall reggae and hip hop music and their debut LP Criminal Minded contained frank descriptions of life in the South Bronx of the late 1980s thus setting the stage for what would eventually become gangsta rap. more »

Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden? 
Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden? 
Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden? 
The only way to talk to God is in church? 

Hah hah hah  you must be kidding!
For years they kept God hidden 
Look for God in self  not in what's written 
Turn this up and listen 

If your slavemaster wasn't a Christian you wouldn't be a Christian 
If your slavemaster wasn't a Christian you wouldn't be a Christian 
If your slavemaster wasn't a Christian you wouldn't be a Christian!!! 

Your whole culture's missing 
Hebrews are African, see they originated Judaism 
The belief in one God is monotheism, see the truth is not hard 
All you gotta know is the facts 

When religion mixes with politics, it all gets wack!
You gotta know your history, or they'll tell you that God is a mystery 
And when you're born, you're born in sin 
That's bullshit. 
That's bullshit! 

They're only saying you can't win 
You can't succeed, you can't achieve 
Don't ask about God, just sit there and believe 
Well I ain't tryin to hear that lesson 

'Cause one thing I know 
'Cause one thing I know 
'Cause one thing I know is that the truth can always be questioned 
Yeah that's how I'm livin' 

Ask and ye shall be given 
When you're lyin', hah hah hah, you got no answers 
You got hand clappers and a whole lotta dancers 
in the church or sanctuary 

They all forgot Jesus was a revolutionary 
They all forgot Jesus was a revolutionary 
They all forgot Jesus was a revolutionary!!! 
That hung out with criminals 

I would say read the Bible but it's not the original 
So it's really misleading 
If you don't know the history of the author you don't know what you're reading 
If you don't know the history of the author you don't know what you've read 

You can't taste the nectar 
That answers the question on why I do lectures 
'Cause where every MC claims to be the teacher, I be dissin'! Professors 
Keep that Bible on your shelf 

God helps those that help themselves 
Stop reading from a dead book 
Stop reading from a dead book for a live God! 
You know how stupid you look! 

God reads the Bible with you 
You both read the language of the devil that's dissing you 
What can the next man do 
With a Bible in his hand that you yourself can't do? 

Whether Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, or Jew 
Burning candles don't get you down with the universal crew 
So why you dress up on Easter and worship a false Mary 
That looks like Mona Lisa? Hah hah, damn you lost 

On Christ-mas, what's the purpose of Santa Claus?
On Christ-mas, what's the purpose of Santa Claus? 

On Christmas what's the purpose of Santa Claus!!! 
Or Saint Nickalaus, I'm sick of this wickedness 

All revolutionaries check this 
I'm not synthetic 
I'm not anti-Christian, anti-Muslim, anti-Buddhist, or anti-semetic 
But I will set it off in the temple 

'Cause the real holy place is mental 
The real holy place is mental 
The real holy place is mental 
The real holy place is mental 

The real holy place is mental! 
The real holy place is mental!!! 
Mental-physical, metaphysical
