| [KRS-One:] Yeah, HUT HUT HUT HUT! I know we ain't gettin soft, HUT HUT HUT HUT! I know we ain't gettin soft, listen FIYAH! [Chorus: KRS-One] When you advertise in New York You best to beware, oh yes When you advertise in New York, you best to beware Cause the bling bling, and de sex t'ing Dem no care, oh no, you best to beware Oh no, yo you best to beware, oh no noooo [KRS-One:] This is how they do it kid, I thought you knew it kid This is how they set us up listen I can prove it kid Many don't understand, you see it's all a plan To keep the black man a child like he's Peter Pan You'll never see a man, a real black man Until you see a man with control of his hands And to control your hands means you control your mind And to control your mind means you ain't commitin crimes Man you smarter than that, goin to prison is whack Even the people in prison know I'm spittin the facts I'm gettin open, open the class up Don't smoke crack it'll tear yo' ass up [Chorus] [KRS-One:] Listen! We got our own problems here in the States So you know I'm not pointin the finger BUT WAIT This is somethin y'all got to see Even the UN knows violence begins with poverty When you ain't got no money, it's quicker to kill It's human nature that's way the jails are filled And the MILITARY? From the time you sign up To kill your neighbor man it's a SIN already And SIN meaning Selfish Inconsiderate Needs Gimme what I want! I don't care who bleeds These days people ready to steal and rob All in the name of I'm DOING MY JOB~! But what about doing your work, what's your purpose? No human being is worthless Think about this before you pull the trigger And you call your sister a bitch and your brother a - WHOA [Chorus] [KRS-One:] Knowledge Reigns Supreme again, ignorance is weakenin Truth is what I'm speakin when I'm reachin and teachin my friends Life is more than just cars and lust Unity is a must, we need to build trust Open up your mind to this, raisin up your consciousness Whether you a pessimist, strategist or optimist My synopsis is knowledge ain't where college is Knowledge is for leaders and wisdom is for philosophers Now I'm hearin London gettin violence like Brooklyn was Brothers gettin shot just for lookin cause? I thought we deaded that, we need to be headed back Yo France, you need to be coverin your brother's back Bring the lovin back, cause the government don't love you They into murder, money, and stayin above you They want you all in prison So before you kill your sister or brother stop and listen [Chorus] |
