|
You heard |
|
KRS and you said, "That's preachy!" |
|
A wise young man says, "Father - teach me" |
|
A foolish young man wants to live life freaky |
|

|
Cause frankly, everybody ain't gonna make it |

|
You would criticize, debate, and basically hate |
|
But let it be known |
|
I wanted everyone to be great |
|
But you would diss and not even try to do better |
|
