The Raptism

So gather round now for the raptism
Cause if the dogs don’t get 'em
the cattle get 'em, or the gat’ll get 'em, or the crack’ll get 'em
Time for spiritual activism, life is a journey
and Kris got the map with him
Teach latinos and blacks with 'em
It’s amazing when whites and asians kick raps with 'em
Cause out of a thousand MC’s, believe I taught half of 'em
Knowledge Reigns Supreme, I beam through many images
My origin is a mystery like capstones on pyramids
We live it kid, challenge the teacher you will regret that
I’m giving careers and taking careers away, did you forget that?
So gather round now for the raptism
Only those that got hip-hop in 'em
and not rap in 'em and no crack with 'em
Step up now and receive a holy dose
from a holy host, and take a break from these rappers that only boast
Wake up, to make up Yeah yeah, yeah
Wake up, to make up Huh, huh, yeah yeah, yeah
Wake up, to make up Yo, yeah, yo.
I’m on many different planes like a airport
Psychologically you be rethinkin your identity and cuttin ya hair short
Now there’s a thought, that exposes your insecurity
You put no fear in me, I break the M from the C So, huh, gather round for the raptism
Wake up When the spirit hear it the lyric long before the track get 'em
Wake up I spit 'em out, gotta get 'em out, the world I never been about
I see them glitter but their spirit’s goin in and out
We see them fading, we also see them hating
We also see those living for musical chart ratings
Hear what I’m stating or trading for what you’re paying
Replace fear with faith and you’ll stop decaying
Gather round for the raptism (word)
Gather round for the raptism (word, word)
Wake up, wake up, wake up Make up, make up, make up Yo, yo, gather round for the raptism
Wake up Word. word.
Wake up Word.
Wake up the dogs don’t get 'em
the cattle get 'em, or the crack’ll get 'em, or the gat’ll get 'em
Wake up Everyday, when you wake up You got a chance, to MAKE UP!
Remember, you are not just doing hip-hop, you ARE hip-hop
Wake up to make up Wake up to make up Twice a year, hip-hoppers come together
to celebrate the unity of hip-hop
We come together, during Hip-Hop Appreciation Week
Wake up to make up.
Which is every third week in May
Wake up to make up.
Then, we come together in Novemeber
to celebrate Hip-Hop History Month
I will see you there — PEACE!
