Big Daddy Kane ~ Word to the Mother (Land)


Grab a hold of yourself, open your eyes Get wise to the exercise Being taught by the teacher that’s most dominant You need knowledge? Well I’m dropping it Listen to the rap allow it to trap Your body and soul so that you can adapt To the man on display as I take you away So may I? <Yes you may!> Proud to be a Black man Coming exact and Giving up to brothers five on the back hand Pray for lease and peace upon each other With my sisters and brothers <Marley Marl: yo, word to the mother!> I say the mother, as in the motherland But on the other hand, another man Tackled and shackled our ancestors But we beat him with freedom, so let’s bless the Country that we all came from Because the moral of it all is we shall overcome The cream will keep rising We be sizing Up, the Asiatic one is enterprising Building and building to carry on All the way from Malcolm X to Farrakhan Martin Luther was a tutor, many were pupils Those who fell victim were those without scruples However, to sever, we could never So hold up the peace sign and stand together Take heed to the words that I manifest And when I’m through speaking, Marley Marl’ll do the rest <Break> <James Brown getting cut up: People, people We gotta get over, before we go under (x2) Let’s get together> (x2) <Marley Marl?: Yo Big Daddy, what you gonna say now?> Take a stand the fight for power Cause we’ve been here before the Mayflower Living superior abiding by nature The history of the Asiatic one paid the Price to be paid in slavery Like the name of Antonio was gave to me But knowledge of self broke every shackle and chain Now I declare myself as the Big Daddy Kane The teacher, teaching a lesson to be heard That’s word, to the mother my brother So discover the truth of one another Cause here’s the real deal upon our skin color Lay down white, yellow, red or pink But the color of black is most dominant The rising and sizing can never cease <Marley Marl: what you going say now?> Peace! <Farrakhan: ...the mother of all living things and the Black man is the original man, we just can’t escape our destiny> <Word to the mother!> (x2) <Farrakhan: I thank Allah for allowing me to teach this subject today Crowd: yeah, that’s right...> more free lyrics

Grab a hold of yourself, open your eyes
Get wise to the exercise
Being taught by the teacher that’s most dominant
You need knowledge?
Well I’m dropping it
Listen to the rap allow it to trap
Your body and soul so that you can adapt
To the man on display as I take you away
So may I?
<Yes you may!>
Proud to be a Black man
Coming exact and
Giving up to brothers five on the back hand
Pray for lease and peace upon each other
With my sisters and brothers
<Marley Marl: yo, word to the mother!>
I say the mother, as in the motherland
But on the other hand, another man
Tackled and shackled our ancestors
But we beat him with freedom, so let’s bless the
Country that we all came from
Because the moral of it all is we shall overcome
The cream will keep rising
We be sizing
Up, the Asiatic one is enterprising
Building and building to carry on
All the way from Malcolm X to Farrakhan
Martin Luther was a tutor, many were pupils
Those who fell victim were those without scruples
However, to sever, we could never
So hold up the peace sign and stand together
Take heed to the words that I manifest
And when I’m through speaking, Marley Marl’ll do the rest

<Break>
<James Brown getting cut up:
People, people
We gotta get over, before we go under (x2)
Let’s get together> (x2)
<Marley Marl?:
Yo Big Daddy, what you gonna say now?>

Take a stand the fight for power
Cause we’ve been here before the Mayflower
Living superior abiding by nature
The history of the Asiatic one paid the
Price to be paid in slavery
Like the name of Antonio was gave to me
But knowledge of self broke every shackle and chain
Now I declare myself as the Big Daddy Kane
The teacher, teaching a lesson to be heard
That’s word, to the mother my brother
So discover the truth of one another
Cause here’s the real deal upon our skin color
Lay down white, yellow, red or pink
But the color of black is most dominant
The rising and sizing can never cease
<Marley Marl: what you going say now?>
Peace!

<Farrakhan: ...the mother of all living things and the Black man
is the original man, we just can’t escape our destiny>

<Word to the mother!> (x2)

<Farrakhan: I thank Allah for allowing me to teach this subject today
Crowd: yeah, that’s right...>

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
