[Talib Kweli] 
So many emcees focusin on black people extermination 
We keep it balanced with that knowledge of self, determination 
It's hot, we be blowin the spots, with conversations 
C'mon let's smooth it out like Soul Sensation 

We in the house like Japanese in Japan, or Koreans in Korea 
Head to Philly and free Mumia with the Kujichagulia TRUE 
Singin is swingin and writin is fightin, but what 
they writin got us clashin like titans it's not excitin 
No question, bein a black man is demandin 
The fire's in my eyes and the flames need fannin (3X) 

With that what? (Knowledge Of Self) Determination 
*repeat 4X* 

[singer] 
Things I say and do, may not come quite through 
My words may not convey just what I'm feelin 

[Talib Kweli] 
Yes yes come on, yes yes 
Knowledge Of Self is like life after death 
With that you never worry about your last breath 
Death comes, that's how I'm livin, it's the next days 
The flesh goes underground, the book of life, flip the page 
Yo they askin me how old, we livin the same age 
I feel the rage of a million niggaz locked inside a cage 
At exactly which point do you start to realize 
That life without knowledge is, death in disguise? 
That's why, Knowledge Of Self is like life after death 
Apply it, to your life, let destiny manifest 
Different day, same confusion, we're gonna take this 
hip-hop shit and keep it movin, shed a little light 
Now y'all bloomin like a flower with the power of the evident 
Voices and drums original instruments 
In the flesh presently presentin my representation 

With that what? (Knowledge Of Self) Determination 
*repeat 6X* 
- - - - these two parts overlap - - - - 
Things I say and do, may not come quite through 
My words may not convey just what I'm feelin 
*repeat 2X* 

[Talib Kweli] 
The most important time in history is, NOW, the present 
So count your blessings cause time can't define the essence 
But you stressin over time and you follow the Roman calendar 
These people enter Cona like Gattaca, you can bet 
they tryin to lock you down like Attica, the African diaspora 
represents strength in numbers, a giant can't slumber forever 
I know you gotta get that cheddar whatever 
Aiyyo I heard you twice the first time money, get it together 
You must be History, you repeatin yourself out of the pages 
You keepin yourself depleatin your spiritual wealth 
That quick cash'll get your ass quick fast in houses of detention 
Inner-city concentration camps where no one pays attention 
or mentions the ascension of death, til nothing's left 
The young, gifted and Black are sprung addicted to crack 
All my people where y'all at cause, y'all ain't here 
And your hero's using your mind as a canvas to paint fear 
With, broad brush strokes and tales of incarceration 
You get out of jail with that Knowledge of Self determination 
Stand in ovation, cause you put the Hue in Human 
Cause and effect, effect everything you do 
and that's why I got love in the face of hate 
Hands steady so the lines in the mental illustration is straight 
The thought you had don't even contemplate 
Infinite like figure eight there's no escape.. 

From that what? (Knowledge Of Self) Determination 
*repeat 4X* 

Things I say and do, may not come quite through 
My words may not convey just what I'm feelin 
*repeat 2X* 

.. 

Things I say and do, may not come quite through 
My words may not convey just what I'm feelin 
*repeat 2X* 

What I'm feelin, what I'm feelin, ooooh, what I'm feelin...
