Lyrics:

The word is not simply a scribbled symbol or a spoken sound
The word is not like a roaring lion that no one really fears
No, the word has power
And it can be your most trusted friend or your most terrible foe

You see like a seed, the word gives life
Like a lamp, the word gives light
Like a mirror the word reflects
Like water, the word washes

Like fire, the word cleanses
Like a hammer, the word shatters
Like a sword, the word cuts
Oh but like medicine, the word heals

And like a counselor, the word comforts
You see the word is alive, and it is waiting
Waiting for you to summon it like a soldier
And send it forth into battle, so speak

They tell me I sound like a prophet
Feedin' my niggas with knowledge
Mistaken, it's been too much fakin'
Thorough nigga business, we keepin' it solid

I’m ready to teach and learn
Educating for this heaven on earth
Overcomin' all my family doubts
The man of the house, no man to observe

Shit can get worse but we pullin' through
I’m illuminating that entire equation, creatin'
I know you can't see it right now
But I’m teachin' my niggas to be better communicators

They dumbin' us down, one by one huntin' us down
I try not to sound like a preacher
But if our daughters and sons are kings and queens
They have to be prepped to be leaders

Follow and order his steps
The man with the plan gets most the respect
So I’m bowin' down with my hands together
Forever prayin' for anyone losing they strength

We in this together right?
There’s reasons for you to believe it
Inspired when found it in what I was readin'
And now I feel like it's what I should be teachin'
Startin' with "The First Agreement"

I’ll remain humble and my heart is always open
Cause I understand behind every great man is some situations
As I look into your eyes, I see the pain that I’ve caused
And so I apologize

To my single parents that's young
Mama's not holdin' her tongue
It’s a shame but even through all of your pain
I hope you teach your child how to love

I’m lovin' they feelin' we doing it right
For my niggas that's losin' they sight
You cannot criticize anything that you do
if you’re always a student to life

A product of truth
Sad part if it’s hard to be yourself you’re a part of it too
Now I’m breakin' it down, so it’s understanding
Me philosophy comes with the proof

Success requires a push
Straight forward is the only way to look
I heard if you wanna hide something from a nigga
The best way to do it is to put it in the books

So they makin' shit difficult
I'ma talk about the principles in general as individuals
You ballin', you made it, you happy and flexin'
Every rapper story sound identical
You seekin' a better life

There’s reasons for you to believe it
I picked up a book and was readin'
And now I feel like it’s what I should be teachin'
Startin' with "The First Agreement"

I’ll remain humble and my heart is always open
Cause I understand behind every great man, is some situations
As I look into your eyes, I see the pain that I’ve caused
And so I apologize
