Featuring krs one
[queen latifah]
you asked i came so behold the queen
letand's add a little sense to the scene
iand'm living positive not out here knocked up
but the lines are so dangerous i ought to be locked up
this rhyme doesnand't require prime time
iand'm just sharing thoughts of mine
back again cause i knew you wanted it
andgt;from the latifah with the queen in front of it
dropping bombs youand're up in arms, youand're puzzled
the lines will flow like fluid while youand're guzzling
the sip i drop you on a bdp-produced track
andgt;from krs to be exact
itand's a flavor unit quest that today has me speaking
cause itand's knowledge iand'm seeking
enough about myself, i think itand's time that i tell you
about the evil that men do
Situations, reality, what a concept!
nothing ever seems to stay in step
so today, here is a message to my sisters and brothers
here are some things i want to cover
a woman strives for a better life, but who the hell cares?
because sheand's living on welfare
i government canand't come up with a decent housing plan
so sheand's in no manand's land
itand's a sucker who tells you youand're equal
[krs-one]
you donand't need him, johannasburgand's crying for freedom!
[queen latifah]
we the people hold these truths to be self-evident
[krs-one]
but thereand's no response from the president
[queen latifah]
someoneand's living the good life, tax-free
except for a girl, canand't find a way to be crack free
and thatand's just part of the message
i thought i had to send you about the evil that men do
Tell me, donand't you think itand's a shame?
when someone can put a quarter in a video game
but when a homeless person approaches you on the street
you canand't treat him the same
itand's time to teach the def, the dumb, the blind
that black-on-black crime only shackles and binds
you to a doom, a fate worse than death
but thereand's still time left
stop putting your conscience on cease
and bring about some type of peace
not only in your heart, but also in your mind
it will benefit all mandkind
then there will be one thing that will never stop
and itand's the evil that men do
