[Queen Latifah]
|
You asked, I came, so behold the Queen
|
Let's add a little sense to the scene
|
I'm living positive, not out here knocked up
|
But the lines are so dangerous, I ought to be locked up
|
This rhyme doesn't require prime time
|
I'm just sharing thoughts of mine
|
Back again cause I knew you wanted it
|
>From the Latifah with the Queen in front of it
|
Dropping bombs, you're up in arms, you're puzzled
|
The lines will flow like fluid while you're guzzling
|
The sip I drop you on a BDP-produced track
|
>From KRS to be exact
|
It's a Flavor Unit quest that today has me speaking
|
Cause it's knowledge I'm seeking
|
Enough about myself, I think it'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 she's living on welfare
|
I government can't come up with a decent housing plan
|
So she's in no man's land
|
It's a sucker who tells you you're equal
|

|
You don't need him, Johannasburg's crying for freedom!
|
|
[Queen Latifah]
|
We the people hold these truths to be self-evident
|
|
[KRS-One]
|
But there's no response from the president
|
|
[Queen Latifah]
|
Someone's living the good life, tax-free
|
Except for a girl, can't find a way to be crack free
|
And that's just part of the message
|
I thought I had to send you about the evil that men do
|
|
Tell me, don't you think it's a shame?
|
When someone can put a quarter in a video game
|
But when a homeless person approaches you on the street
|
You can't treat him the same
|
It'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 there'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 it's the evil that men do
|
