People of the world wherever you be
Welcome to Cosmic YOUniversity
Where life is the journey and love is the trip

And the study of them will make you hip
I'm professor of the rap and when I speak
I guarantee that my lines will not be weak
They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste

That's why I'm here and on the case

Rapping up every mind with a special degree in socio-psycholo GBE
The Gary Byrd Experience is my course

When you take my class you will feel the force
'Cause I know the roots that the rap is from

When I speak to you I am not dum
Hear my rap and begin to dance
And I promise you this you will advance
You may have seen the Raiders of the Lost Ark

But you still lefl the theatre in the darkl
So clap your hands to the beat as the Wondersound

And the GBE shine on the Crown

You wear the Crown
I wear the Crown

So proud to say that we all wear the Crown
The Crown

I do recall so very well
When I was just a little boy

I used to hurry home from school
I used to always feel so blue

Because there was no mention in the books
We read about my heritage
So therefore any information that I got was education
Bums
Hobos at depot stations
I would listen with much patience

Or to relatives who told the tales that they were told to pass ahead
And then one day from someone old
I heard a story never told

Of all the kingdoms of my people
And then how we fought for freedom

All about the many things we have unto the world contributed
You wear the crown - We wear the crown - we wear the Crown

It's not Star Wars
It's not Superman
It's not the story of the Ku-Klux-Klan
The crown will appear in the GBE
But it's never seen on your TV
It's in black and white in your gold mind
A picture so old it defies time
Alex Haley drew it in his book
It's what Kunta kept in his other foot
Ghana Songhay and old Mali
They are the roots of your own family tree
Kingdom so vast and knowledge wise

They removed cataracts from human eyes
And yet today some refuse to see
And live in fear of their discovery
Now in fourteen hundred and ninety-two Columbus sailed to ocean - true
But years before in Alkebu a ship set sail with a chocolate crew
2000 years before Columbo came
The Olmecs paid tribute to their fame
Stone heads with faces eight feet high
That the Hulk could not lifl to his thig
Though the facts historians avoid
First to arrive was the Africoid
It may shock the House and Shockley
Too

And if you're not prepared it may shock you

While some had doubts that the world was round
In America guess who wore the Crown
I wear the Crown
You wear the Crown

So proud to say that we all wear the Crown
Get down
You wear the Crown
I wear the Crown

So proud to say that we all wear the Crown
The Crown
