The reason why you hear such terms as "peace God" or "word is bond" is because a lotta cats from the streets hung around people who were "god body", so it was incorporated into black urban speak(hip-hop lingo). When i was growing up in the mid eighties alotta cats didn't know nothing about the lessons, but they would say peace god or "word is born" (erroneously I might add)

Now if the writer really did his homework, he would know that the 5% lessons were actually questions and answers between Master Fard Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad (founder of the NOI), so basically the writer was being redundant because it's already been written that he was a member of the NOI.

Build on the lesson put forth by Wise

Because the people who were his followers, follow Yacub regardless of what they were told to do. If not, they paid with their lives.
