[Intro: Wise Intelligent]
Culture freedom!
Come back with me apple pie!
[Verse 1: Wise Intelligent, (Culture Freedom), Both]
This one just some slammin’ funky jam we put together
Youth, run tell your friend - (Culture Freedom’s in the house!)
Out of a slum slam project complex come
Me Wise Intelligent and got ‘em all sweet like in a plum
Me gwan work, a little of thought the teacher fling it easy now star
They know who we are!
Far from the savage life of them eighty-five percent
Ten percenter, I’ll murder
This is just one lovely manifestation of my third eye
But why can't even posse mash a jam like this?
Youth would rather hear this truth from the teacher any day
Why, oh, I say
This be smooth with the roughness, ey (What?)
Gods be just servin’ justice
Shaheed was feelin’ real closer, just push off to give your lead
One, two, three, see
And understand that this be not so savage by far (What?)
Easy star!

[Verse 2: Wise Intelligent, (Culture Freedom), Both]
This one dedicated to a style that I remember
While teacher comin’ again and me gwan, "Easy Star!"
Sisters watch me close 'cause some of them watch me from afar
Talk right side of every lesson all praise due to Allah
I go to work
There’s many different styles many artists dem a [?]
But I’ll take them all
Small-minded individuals often take long falls
Why you blessed to stand tall
Black man come flash one new style and fashion, easy star
Oh Wise, come take charge
Why, this one’s just a section of perfection from PRT
P-osse, they got me where they want me
Now what am I going to do?
And how do I have to play?
Wise God, come again? heh-heh, don’t say
Why this one just an ounce of what's to come and not of savage by far
What? Easy star
