Boogie Down Productions - Advance lyrics

[vocals: KRS-One]

Lesson one lesson two lesson three lesson four

WE HAVE GOT TO ADVANCE! [x2]

THE GRAND - INCREDIBLE - SCOTT LAROCK L-L-L-LA ROCK

Every generation after every generation

All the world nation headed for annihilation

I say annihilation but I mean disintegration

An absolute wipe-off from the face of every nation

If you comprehend, you're allowed to ask a question

What could be the meaning of degeneration lesson

Lesson 1 lesson 2 lesson 3 lesson 4

The newly presentated rap for nuclear war

We have elevated far beyond the Rapper's Delight

So party people close your eyes and use the mind for the sight

We must understand the basic complications of light

Before the atom is split, and the world is destroyed

If you're jamming to the sound; this is what I employ

To live in understanding and the knowledge of joy

This is the rhyme for the time, elevated through the mind

If you comprehend what is a definite sign

That the positive and negative electrical force

Of the whole world today, is on an advance course

C and O with the S H2O PO4

Can all be destroyed by a nuclear war

So to the black white and Rican, Indian and Oriental

Muslims, Christians, Rastas, Jews, Gentiles

We've got to advance, we have got to advance

When the situation changes, we don't stand a chance

'cause every generation after every generation

We got to find ourselves in some worldwide celebration

Not with registration or a cotton plantation

But just a presentation like more communication

The kids in graduation, with lesser aggrivation

Will tell the other kids of this higher education

This higher education, which is really observation

Or more self-realization which will lead to relaxation

Not evacuation; for fear of bomb mutation

A pact can't help these [commies?] send some army transportation

This army transportation has sent abbreviation [?]

USA, which means you start annihilation

I seem to read the praise while I'm in this transportation

At those who think of war need to practice conservation

I man what I say, 'cause I say what I mean

So listen to my voice, yes we have a choice

You see We got to advance; we got to advance

'Cause nothing in our lives ever have a chance

We got to advance; we got to advance

WE - HAVE - GOT - TO - ADVANCE!
