Artist: Unique and Dashan f/ Professor X Album: Black to the Future Song: Protected By the Red Black and Green Typed by: jostmatt at bluewin dot ch [ INTRO: Professor X ] King ( ? ) Oisis Martin Luther Malcolm Adam Yo Wake up Vanglorious This is protected by the red The black And the green With a key Sissyyyy [ PRELUDE: Unique ] Honor the speaker, for his wisdom is intelligent And I'm not altered by negativity cause it's irrelevant Instead I'd rather wipe the whole slate clean Cause I'm connected and protected by the red, black and green (Keep on pushin) (Lord have mercy, we're movin on up) (Keep on pushin) --> Curtis Mayfield [ VERSE 1: Unique ] My object is to make sure that all minds are free And to bring vision into the eyes of those who cannot see So listen close to every word cause this is for your own good I break it down as simply as possible so that understanding is understood I know half of you don't wanna hear it but I'll say it anyway Because the truth ( ? ) the proof and it is here to stay Now our people are bein destroyed all across this land But you wouldn't know that it was a part of the government's plan Some people live in poverty while others are livin in wealth How could we think about helpin South Africa when we can't even help ourselves? 'USA for Africa' - somebody out there lied Cause major companies in this country still support apartheid So don't take things at face value, confirm them first Cause what you think is the best, it might just be the worst Like for instance crack is takin over everyone That tried it once and now they addicted cause they thought it was fun But if you dig a little deeper you will find out more Vanglorious will teach you, that's what we're here for But I will never get trapped in a negative realm if you know what I mean Cause I'm protected by the red, black and green (Keep on pushin) (Lord have mercy, we're movin on up) (Keep on pushin) [ VERSE 2: Unique ] Accept the knowledge or reject it cause it will be there still This isn't a fairytale cause I ain't a joke and this here is for real So if you listen real closely to the science I'm droppin I'm sure you will see Why I come with the holy attribute of the Great Unique The negativity won't survive the realm of righteousness Cause I will build it, also destroy the bad and then save the rest Many are called but few'll be chosen of the ones on the shelf And the only ones who will be chosen are those who choose themself Because anybody can make a record, but who will tell the truth? MC Unique is in the flesh and he is livin proof There's no conspiracy to the words that I speak You never try to dis cause you really weak, I'm on my peak ( ? ) seek, you know you can't hang with the Great Unique ( ? ) this reality ( ? ) was livin it You think about bringin any harm but ( ? ) flippin Marcus Garvey was a leader like Malcolm and King Cause we're protected by the red, black and green (Keep on pushin) (Lord have mercy, we're movin on up) (Keep on pushin)
