No more time to pass time 'cause these are the last rhymes, | |
'cause we're living in the last times... | |
They wanna go to war, more wars to come | |
But most of us fight more wars than one | |
Discrimination in the racial nation | |
While they destroy our strong foundation | |
Nature's balance is way off balance | |
They tip the scale, now it's no more silence | |
The hole in the ozone layer is outta control | |
But they wanna fight for more oil and gold | |
Unemployment, i got laid off | |
The streets is the last resorts to get paid off | |
For more, more mint, no doe for rent | |
I gotta shed blood to make a red cent | |
Maybe i should ask the president | |
Somebody give me the president | |
But he don't want to hear it, it's out of the question | |
'cause in my section it's worse than recession | |
So i go to a rich neighborhood and play robin hood | |
Take from the bad and give to the good | |
First i go to bensonhurst, steal a benz, snatch a purse | |
Pick up my friends, that's when it gets worse | |
'cause i need government and they need government | |
Alot of mint spent, now i gotta pay rent | |
Who makes the most dead presidents in the projects | |
You're gonna get robbed and wrecked | |
I parked up the block to plot on a kid that made a knot | |
Let's get him for all he got | |
I approached him slow like i was a basehead | |
Put the fo-fifth to his face and said | |
You see those kids over there wit the hoods | |
Walk to them real slow and give them the goods | |
First the gun and the doe and crush the jumbos | |
One false move and no one knows | |
'cause i got a silencer to hush the bust | |
And i'm in a rush, so hush the fuss | |
Plus the poison you fed will no longer spread | |
You good as dead, i'm a fill your head wit lead | |
That's when i pushed him into his building | |
To murder him ...but i remember the children... | |
Chorus: | |
We gotta teach the children everyday, keep a song | |
Show them the light, teach them right from wrong | |
Make some sense so they can carry on | |
Teach the children | |
We gotta teach the children so that they can sing along | |
Understand the words in this song | |
Can't be done when we're gone, so..." | |
Teach the children ,save the nation | |
I see the destruction, the situation | |
They're corrupt, and their time's up soon | |
But they'll blow it up and prepare life on the moon | |
Sounds like total recall | |
But who gotta spaceship, you get it, we fall | |
So hope for the best and expect the worst | |
The end is near and it's u-n-i verse... | |
The one's that interfere wit nature | |
Labeled you limited and underrate ya, | |
His plans over rule when he separates ya | |
Now it's u-n-i verse, the one that hates ya | |
So we gotta let them know, we're hip to the script | |
Change the skit, or we're about to flip | |
'cause we want access to happiness | |
Livin' the good life and much success | |
Equal opportunity | |
Self awareness and unity | |
Education, the kids need a sculpture | |
Teach them the abacus and their culture... | |
And that'll help stop the robbing, raping and killing | |
Poison neighborhoods are illing | |
But they import more keys from across seas | |
A drug disease hits the streets wit ease | |
So keep on building.... 'cause we gotta keep building | |
Till the answers are filled in | |
And make sure you don't stop till then... | |
And if you do, remember the children! |
