Текст (слова) песни: KRS-One - 2nd Quarter

 
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 many 
That`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 Order 
we 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!
