Smooth
Do you know what it means to have made the line?
Yes, sir!
Every Black man in America worth his salt
Thurgood Marshall, Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Dubois
Martin Luther King, Huey P. Newton
Every one belonged to one of the four
Fraternities on this campus
What is the motto of the fraternity you are pledging?
Achievement in every field of human endeavor
I didn't hear a "sir", did you hear a "sir"?
Motherfuckers, get in the cut and hold your nuts
Get in the cut and hold your nuts
Ohh
Plеase, big brother, may I have anothеr?
Of course (He'll take it)
Ohh
Y'all thought this shit was a game
This ain't no game, motherfuckers
Somebody goin' down tonight (Which one?)
He can't fly, he can't fly, he can't fly
Number 4, freshman class president, basketball star
Some of the other brothers didn't want you to make the line
Nope
They say you sweet (Ooh-wee), is it true?
No, sir!
Get in the cut
Ohh
Please, big brother, may I have another?
Of course
Ohh
My roots run deep, I draw my strength from underneath
I bend, I don't break, I sway
Real men don't show pain (You tell him, big bro)
Line up (Get these feet together)
They better hear you motherfuckers singing on the other side of campus
The road to Kappaland is long and rugged
Takes a hell of a man to hold his own load
If you ain't man enough to go on the lonely journey
Take your sh— off the road and let a real man through
Take your sh— off the road 'cause Kappa ain't you
Many ask us why we pledged Kappa Alpha Psi
Why not an Alpha or maybe a Que?
I don't know a Que that can do what a Kappa do
Hey, it's a fact and you know that
Hey, it's a fact that Kappa's where it's at
Welcome to Hell
You're about to get in touch
With the suffering of your ancestors
Remember their strength
If you survive, you'll be on your way
To crossing over to full brotherhood
