"One day, I got struck by knowledge of Self. It gave me super-scientifical powers..." -Jeru

One of my favorite clients that I don't get to work with enough is mixed martial artist D'Juan "Dirty South Owens.  

The other day he posted a quote by Pan-African scholar Dr. Amos Wilson.  

For whatever reason, that made me think of You Can't Stop the Prophet, hip hop classic by golden era emcee Jeru The Damaja ("damager" because alternative spelling is a hip hoppers prerogative).  You will find both below.

When Africans in the Americas and the world-over choose to critically examine the “received” ideas and biased perceptions of “reality” imposed on them,
and choose to know reality for what it is—to create themselves through gaining a thorough knowledge of self, knowledge of the world, and through studying and acquiring power—they will then have attained the keys to their own liberation

This is the Pete Rock remix.  I miss the "can't a damn thing stop me" sample when the fight breaks out.  Otherwise, this remix is dope.
Anyways, if that quote from Dr. Wilson hypes you up, it from his book Blueprint for Black Power: A Moral, Political, and Economic Imperative for the Twenty-First Century.
