Krs One - 2nd Quarter - Free Throws lyrics

rate me

anybody in here right now with tape decks turn em on

and put em on record, I'll give you a second

I want to add authenticity to your tape

so when it's sold out in the street

you all can know this was a real party

These are poems circulating throughout the nation

everybody's bad and everybody's tough

but how many people are intelligent enough

to open up their eyes and see through the lies

discipline themselves, yourself to stay alive?

not many

That's why the universe sent me today on this stage

with this to to say

the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer

and in the final hour many heads will lose power

what does the rich versus the poor really mean?

psychologically it means you got to pick your team

when someone says the rich gets richer

visualize wealth and put yourselves in the picture

the rich get richer, cause they work towards rich

the poor get poorer, cause their minds can't switch from the ghetto

let go, it's not a novelty

you could love your neighborhood without loving poverty

follow me, every mother, father, son, daughter

there's no reason to fear the New World Order

we must order the whole new world to pay us

the New World Order and the old state chaos

the Big Brother watching over you, is a lie you see

Hip-Hop could build it's own secret society

but first you and I got to unify

stop the niggativity and control our creativity

the rich is getting richer, so why we ain't richer?

could it be we still thinking like niggas?

educate yourselves, make your world view bigger

visualize wealth and put yourselves in the picture!
