Lyrics for TEACH THE CHILDREN by Rakim:
| | | Artist: | Rakim |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | TEACH THE CHILDREN | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 127 | | | | Lyrics: | No more time to pass time 'cause these are the last rhymes,
'Cause we're living in the last
times...
They wanna go to war, more wars to come
But most of us fight more wars than
one
Discrimination in the racial nation
While they destroy our strong foundation
Nature's balance is way off balance
They tip the scale, now it's no more silence
The hole in the ozone layer is outta control
But they wanna fight for more oil and
gold
Unemployment, I got laid off
The streets is the last resorts to get paid off
For more, more mint, no doe for rent
I gotta shed blood to make a red cent
Maybe I should ask the president
Somebody give me the president
But he don't want to
hear it, it's out of the question
'Cause in my section it's worse than recession
So I
go to a rich neighborhood and play Robin Hood
Take from the bad and give to the good
First I go to Bensonhurst, steal a Benz, snatch a purse
Pick up my friends, that's when it
gets worse
'Cause I need government and they need government
Alot of mint spent, now I
gotta pay rent
Who makes the most dead presidents in the projects
You're gonna get
robbed and wrecked
I parked up the block to plot on a kid that made a knot
Let's get
him for all he got
I approached him slow like I was a basehead
Put the fo-fifth to his
face and said
You see those kids over there wit the hoods
Walk to them real slow and
give them the goods
First the gun and the doe and crush the jumbos
One false move and
no one knows
'Cause I got a silencer to hush the bust
And I'm in a rush, so hush the
fuss
Plus the poison you fed will no longer spread
You good as dead, I'm a fill your
head wit lead
That's when I pushed him into his building
To murder him ...but I
remember the children...
chorus:
We gotta teach the children everyday, keep a
song
Show them the light, teach them right from wrong
Make some sense so they can
carry on
Teach the children
We gotta teach the children so that they can sing along
Understand the words in this song
Can't be done when we're gone, so..."
Teach the children ,save the nation
I see the destruction, the situation
They're
corrupt, and their time's up soon
But they'll blow it up and prepare life on the moon
Sounds like Total Recall
But who gotta spaceship, you get it, we fall
So hope for the
best and expect the worst
The end is near and it's U-N-I verse...
The one's that
interfere wit nature
Labeled you limited and underrate ya,
His plans over rule when he
separates ya
Now it's U-N-I verse, the one that hates ya
So we gotta let them know,
we're hip to the script
Change the skit, or we're about to flip
'Cause we want access
to happiness
Livin' the good life and much success
Equal opportunity
Self
awareness and unity
Education, the kids need a sculpture
Teach them the abacus and
their culture...
And that'll help stop the robbing, raping and killing
Poison
neighborhoods are illing
But they import more keys from across seas
A drug disease
hits the streets wit ease
So keep on building.... 'cause we gotta keep building
Till
the answers are filled in
And make sure you don't stop till then...
And if you do,
remember the children | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
