You know... The other day, i bumped into some kids talking about what they gonna be when they are grown.
Some talking about being lawyers, doctors, aviators and presidents... (laughs)
so I asked my little cousin at home, what he will like to be when he’s grown.
He looked at me and smiled, told me, he will like to be an astronaut.
I looked at him and asked, why would you wanna be an astronaut?
He told me, so he can fly big space ships and make friends with aliens from other planets (laughs).
that's a Little man with a big ghetto dream.
But listen! In anything you strive to be in life.
You need an education,
formal education, informal education, special education, name it all.
But one kinda education your teacher never told you about is the hip formal education

Intro
Discovery... Chudda.... Que C Baby...ha
The hip formal education.... ha
There is always something that exists which science alone can't approve
Verse 1
Ha.. Goddamit...they wanna see the king fall
But am fall and drown them like a water fall
I got the life span in millions like a dinosaur
They got the bullcrap, baby, am the matador
I make blood flow in pipelines, Baghdad
Apocalyptic god, yes am Mad max
Curse the village with a flu on the Guinea pigs
and bring the next sequel of d human centipede
I stay hot like deserts in Morocco
So hot, dehydrate up your vocals
Plant mushrooms, and raise irokos
Mexican thuglife, am loco
Hydrochloric combination in your barley hox
Make a baby suck milk outta catholic nun
Hysteric mind, never cared bout way you feel
Cos I photosynthesize without d chlorophyll
Hook
This is not rap, this is real life
This are words from the breathe on a flatline
Am the smoke without heat, yeah the acid rain
Am something science can never explain (x2)
Verse 2
Arm, leg, leg, arm, head, God body
Knowledge run Supreme over nearly everybody
See we blasting up your city like we kamarkazes
Only shots on me are the ones I get from paparazzis
Uuuh... It’s a new experiment
Flows sharper than the two horns of Baphomet
Jack the ripper found dead in my basement
Paramedics tryna discover my ailment
Stream flows with a 40-G network
So incredible like pleasures outta sex dolls
Swallow emcees, cannibal holocaust
N put your lady in an early stage menopause
Rap energy converted to specimen
Basic enough to make the 5th element
Chuddanesium, got a new catalyst
That Breathes life to the statue of liberty
Hook (x2)
Outro
Huuuh huh...
Ain't no Steve Hawkins in this,
ain't no Charles dalwin, no Albert Einstein in this...
Ain't no Francis Galton, ain't no Michael Faraday...
It's Chudda... The real hip hop science, the real exposure...discovery... Uuh... Signs... Yo.. QUE C

A Karma Story

Intro
Young scholars, it's time to take you all back to kindergarten for few minutes
Polymath theory
so get ears out...for knowledge is wisdom,
Verse 1
There were two young ladies living in a field
One named Jenny and the other named Jill
Jill, hard working, got skills of a farmer
and Jenny so lazy, depended on her father
Rainy season coming, seven more days
and Jill wanna cultivate but had no space
So Jenny's father gave Jill a piece of his land
and Jenny so jealous started asking for demand
Jill under pressure, promised jenny that she pay
Cause after the harvest, she ll make a lotta sales
But Jenny out off-patience, kept asking for the money
and claims to be a true friend, what an irony
Before the next day, Jenny killed all the plants
and Jill started crying cos she wrecked all her plans
Keep your head up, baby don't cry
Cause Nothing last forever you can always give a try
Hook
Keep yo head, so hi in the sky
Life too short, always never keep it down
I see your star so bright, time to shine
Life too short, always never keep it down (x2)
Verse 2
Many months later, Jenny got pregnant
Had a baby boy, called him pennant
Jill met Jenny in the child dedication
and gave a gold chain told Jenny not to mention
"All you gotta do is to put it round his neck
and never pull it off as a sign that we are friends"
Jenny full of happiness but she never knew
That Jill had a grudge in her mind she never threw
Five years later, the baby now growing
Started up in school, and everybody know him
proud of the chain that his mother's friend gave him
and because of the gift, a lot of friends he was making
Will be heart breaking, if it got missing
With d spot on his face from his mum's kissing
Had dreams to be a big time lawyer
about to get dirty, be the news of d summer
Hook(x2)
Verse 3
So Jill stopped Jenny n her son on the way
and Jill told her "all I need is my chain"
Remember when you killed my plants many years ago
Now I need my chain back with no scratch on the Gold
Jenny tried to take it off, it was so tight
The only way is to cut his head with a sharp knife
So Jenny got on her knees looking up for mercy
But mercy was gone and only left a lesson
The message of the story, be your brother’s keeper
No matter how poor, no matter how richer
You never know what really tomorrow's gonna be
So do unto others, what you really wanna see
Hook (x2)

Intro
Yeah…To every woman out there
Put your hands in the sky, where my eyes can see em
Cause you’re beautiful
Yeah, you know you’re beautiful
Don’t let no one tell you, you not
Cause you are
Yeah….listen
Verse 1
Once upon a time, like many years ago
When God made man, and saw he was alone,
He had an idea, so he put his eyes to sleep
and while he was asleep, he took a little piece of ribs
and then the next morning, he woke up to a human
Almost like he looked, so he called her name woman
They had sex, had a child, the baby called her mother
and that's been the tradition since this day further
They both lived happy in the Garden of Eden
Before she met the serpent, and the fruit that was forbbiden
She took a little bite n gave a brother to eat
and today I keep feeling she's the face of deceit
To every lady so strong cooking in the kitchen
Breastfeeding all my kids while she's making up my dishes
To every lady in my life, my sister, baby boo
I got a confession, there's no life without you
Hook (I.C.E)
Women so important, they help the men to conquer ...yeah
To every woman out there that’s trying to make things proper
To every woman out there roaming the streets
To every woman out there fighting defeat
To every woman that struggles to live
There’s no life without you
Verse 2
Shame on a brother, for beating up his wife
you beating up a girl, see, u beating up yo life
Like James brown told a brother, its a man's world
But we hustle for the women, we hustle for their love
9 months in the belly, feeding on her ration
Pains in the labour room, crying with a passion
Finally, Daddy has a son he can carry
To my cousin, God bless the lucky man you married
His working so hard, better wake up to his face
Smiling with the giggles and no makeup on your face
You a warrior, what I do, you do better
You one secret to my wealth, secret to my cheddar
Haaa, and I pray for the single mothers
All alone, raised a man out the bloody gutters
Now he's a pilot, I guess you gonna fly
Cause he knows without you, there's no life
Hook (x3)

This Generation

Intro
Yeah…
Que C turn me up
Haa.Yeah..this generation..ha
Lot of smart ones out there…you know what am saying
But really messed up and brain washed by society…yo yo
Verse 1
Nowadays, the life of the kids on the street
Got me so choked up, I gotta pay just to breathe
Enough love shown by the parents
But they keep getting difficult, something like a payment
young ones at a tender age at home
With a lot of applications stored in their phones
From Facebook and twitter, selfies on instagram
Playing hypnotized like the mind of the pentagram
Skipping classes, to mess around the alley
Everyday, sipping on the booze and popping on the Marley
Television got our ladies dancing nude
Posting it up on YouTube with a million views
Yeah...Pornography to the little boys is supper
Now they wanna have an intercourse without the rubber
Rap music is all about the cheddar
Mary J and the reefers, n the emcees are sellouts
Hook
This Generation (scratches)
Really got me pissed off (x2)
Verse 2
Yo...Am in a generation where the price of the bullet
Is so cheap,so everyone play the Russian roulette
Little gals the age of twelve turning baby mamas
and little boys, same age hitting sugar mamas
The dresscode around my block is a waste
Boys in their teenage got their baggy jean below the waist
pretty ladies, exposing the cleavages
A lotta bullshit and same sex marriages
Hey young world, the world is yours
better buckle up and always try to make the right choice
Back then, we tried to be like Luther king
Now role models re the vixens on magazines
A lotta ponzis, a lotta memories
That we never learn from, wat a fuckery
If you really wanna lead, you gotta follow
That’s the only formula to be a king, come tomorrow
Hook(x2)
Outro
Yeah…Young world
Take it slow…keep running, you might fall man
Yeah..you know what am saying
Yo man it’s a real rough world out there like rocks
But you got to keep it low and be your self
Yeah..haha….third eye

Intro
*Voice samples from Flava flav
*Voice samples from Nas with sratches
Lets take it back to the year 1996
The same time I first heard an emcee spit
The same time I started keeping lot of memories
was mobb deep, havoc and prodigy
Nas, Foxy Brown, Nature and AZ
A reasonable doubt, that brother Jay Z
Talk about PAC, he was R.I.P
Then biggie followed on, Yaki Kadafi
Same time I learnt scarface was Cuban
Then bro introduced me to Brand Nubian
Grand Puba, Sadat X, Lord Jamar
Then I said to myself, I wanna be a rapper
Haa...there was no silver spoon
Writing all my punchlines under leaking roof
Listen up bro, hip hop is my culture
but now, its raising up some vultures
I miss the time of Big L and the Big Pun
Mos Def and Talib, Krs One
MC Ricky D and his story tales
Heavy D and the boys in their glory days
De La soul, Flipmode, Wu Tang Clan
Before Eminem came along with 8 mile
Before DMX came barking like a dawg
Before rappers started spitting in their mother's tongue
That was some good time, now where's the realness
Where the EPMDs with the business
Where the Jam Master Jays with the turntables
Where the Chino XLs with the parables
Y2k still had some elements
Before rappers went crazy on the ornaments
Riding dirty in the south, Chamillionaire
same time my good friend died of pneumonia
MC Guru, the Tribe called Quest
Doggystyle, G funking up the west
Queen latifah, lyrical diva
U.N.I.T.Y was a hit track
Ice cube, every day on my Boombox
Rock n roll, on the song, do the crip walk
I miss the real beef, it was layed out
Nowadays, all that bullshit is played out
Outro
