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 manyThat'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 |
|
OrderWe 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 negativity 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 |
