No more time to pass time 'cause these are the last rhymes  
'Cause we're living in the last times... 
They want to 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 want to 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 
a lot 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 you-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 you-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!
