featuring KRS One
[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

Enough about myself, I think it's time that I tell you
About the evil that men do

[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
