Текст песни Health, Wealth, Self
Yeah.. yeah.. yup! You know what? I was just downstairs and I was on my way up here to the studio and a guy bumped into me and and he said.. he said, Yo Kris! How is it that you stay in this music? You know, this rap music ex-specially for SO.. LONG.. SO.. LONG I said, Well you know years ago I made a deal with the Goddess He said, The Goddess? I said, Well yeah, you might know her as God but I know her as the Goddess The universal mother The mother of everything you see in existance I ax-ked her for assistance in lyrical persistance and she gave it to me, under one condition She said, I'll give you the gift but use the gift to uplift I said, Okay mom! So I tell you the truth, really Me nah gon' need nuttin else but health, wealth, and knowledge of myself Me nah gon' need nuttin else but health, wealth, and knowledge of myself In the beginning was the word, the word was made flesh Knowledge K.

You're still a amateur What seperates the pro from the amateur is stamina Not how long you can rhyme, but how long you've been rhymin changin with the times, and findin yourself still CLIIIIIIIIIIIIMbin for wealth Blow for blow, you're still growin, still showin (all knowin) now that's a pro at it Me nah gon' need nuttin else but health, wealth, and knowledge of myself Me nah gon' need nuttin else but health, wealth, and knowledge of myself Thank you Mother, I'm out
