Why Is That

Boogie Down Productions

Verse One



The day begins with a grin



And a prayer to excuse my sins



I can walk anywhere I choose



Cause everybody listens to the B.D.P. crew



We're not here for glamour or fashion



But here's the question I'm askin



Why is it young black kids taught {flashin?}



They're only taught how to read write and act



It's like teachin a dog to be a cat



You don't teach white kids to be black



Why is that? Is it because we're the minority?



Well black kids follow me



Genesis chapter eleven verse ten



Explains the geneology of Chem



Chem was a black man, in Africa



If you repeat this fact they can't laugh at ya



Genesis fourteen verse thirteen



Abraham steps on the scene



Being a descendent of Chem which is a fact



Means, Abraham too was black



Abraham born in the city of a black man



Called Nimrod grandson of Kam



Kam had four sons, one was named Canaan



Here, let me do some explaining



Abraham was the father of Isaac



Isaac was the father of Jacob



Jacob had twelve sons, for real



And these, were the children of Isreal



According to Genesis chapter ten



Egyptains descended from {Hahm,Kam}



Six hundred years later, my brother, read up



Moses was born in Egypt



In this era black Egyptians weren't right



They enslaved black Isrealites



Moses had to be of the black race



Because he spent fourty years in Pharoah's place



He passed as the Pharoah's grandson



So he had to look just like him



Yes my brothers and sisters take this here song



Yo, correct the wrong



The information we get today is just wack



But ask yourself, why is that?



Verse Two



The age of the ignorant rapper is done
