Original - Grand Puba

Let me tell you just who you are

Sky’s the limit when you know yourself

Don’t you know that you’re original

No need to try to be someone else

Yeah let’s go we original kings and queens (yeah)

It’s time to get back up in the swing

Just check out the style I bring (yeah)

I drop jewels with the song I sing

I come here for a reason, that’s to wake up in the lightning

I come to drop a jewel but my people become frightened (scared)

I try to tell them it’s impossible to live with vultures

They rob you for your name and your language and your culture

But now we run around and most of us don’t have a clue

But if you only knew the power and the god in you

Wee we can elevate our mind up to another level (level)

Some of us keep showing out because we love the devil (yeah)

You coon ass nigga you can’t fool me

You may be eating but your people ain’t free

You think you’re living good, you’re just a pea in a pod

And that ain’t really nothing when you’re supposed to be god

Let me tell you just who you are

Sky’s the limit when you know yourself (know who you are)

Don’t you know that you’re original (original)

No need to try to be someone else (nope)

Yeah cause junction, junction.

what’s my function

Dropping hot bars and make my people grow

Never been the type of dude with the bullshit flow

Always keeping shit above so I get that dough

I coulda made mad chicken if I sold my soul

But that shit done never happen so we never know

I know one thing, brother Malcolm always ride with me

GOD always burned inside of me

We’ll be free as soon as we recognize

And stop looking on things through our enemy’s eyes

Cause we original, original, original, original

And not a cadred copy soul

Let me tell you just who you are

Sky’s the limit when you know yourself

Don’t you know that you’re original

No need to try to be someone else (no need)

Well I’m just doing my duty (my duty)

So that my people can be free (can be free)

Tell em free they mind

My ancestors called on me (called on me)

They called me to do this job and I’m a get it done, trust

Cause it’s more than slavery (more than slavery)

Certainly cause we’re so original

Let me tell you just who you are

Sky’s the limit when you know yourself

Don’t you know that you’re original (original man)

No need to try to be someone else (no need, no need, no need)
