Health, Wealth, Self KRS-One

[Intro]
Yeah.. yeah.. yup!
You know 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 especially 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 asked 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!"

[Hook]
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
