Pass me some information

So I can be revolution

I man feel like a captive

I feel like I'm trapped in a cage

Knowledge is not so bountiful in America

And still don't know a ting you see

Learning how to perpetuate a sin

Learning bout another man's ting lord

I don't like what your life can bring so

My mind, my mind

Has played some tricks on me

And it's so apparent

That it's common to see

Time and time I tried to earn a living

But to get ahead I must commit a sin

I guess I must struggling cause

I don't like what your life can bring so

Give me some knowledge

Pass on the knowledge

Help me out of this bondage yall

And let the music flow, on and on

Pass it, on and on, pass it, on and on

Got to be the system in this society!

Give me some knowledge

Help me out of this bondage yall

And let the music flow, on and on

Pass it, on and on, pass it, on and on

Pass it, on and on, pass it

From Sumer down to Mansa Musa

Wilmont Blyden pass it down to Garvey
