Yeah (There's a message, the song that I'm sing) New York City (There's a message, the song that I'm sing) Ghettos world wide (There's a message, the song that I'm singing) It's the evil things that people do The illegal dreams that we pursue We don't think that we could lose Ya'll know what my purpose is I spit verses, to lift curses off my dead president worshippers Back where the surface is, gangsters and murderers Making money made us merciless It's the birth of the streets, it's over they said Rappers crossover they dead I spit my verse with technique, 'til they knowing their ledge First it's too deep, then I'm over their head He too lyrical, and too subliminal Everything from spiritual to criminal It's a message in the bottle, open it It's a lesson in survival, cope with it It don't make sense to die, for the root of evil It get too cerebral, when that ? is legal Either way it's hell, I can't save the world But I can show them how to save themselves from the Evil things that people do The illegal dreams that we pursue We don't think that we could lose Call it cheese or cream or green or blue It's the root of evil we done proved It's supreme, from me to you I see through the eyes of the prophets, King Tutankhamuns And Martin's and Malcolm's, Elijah Muhammad's Wise and with knowledge Paid in full ain't just the size of the pockets It's rise where the top is, rise economics I'll show you that time Is more valuable then them diamonds in your watches You grind where the block is, you die for them dollars What's worth more to you? Your life or your gwop is Thugs is pitching, chicks is in the club stripping Flipping drugs or pimping hood is blood or cripping Latin Kings and black gorillas Government sits back hoping either that or crack will kill us It sound like a setup and we the victims One out of a million will beat the system Getting rich from flipping bricks is over with Take your chips and go legit from the
Evil things that people do The illegal dreams that we pursue We don't think that we could lose Call it cheese or cream or green or blue It's the root of evil we done proved It's supreme, from me to you To my G's on the block that do what they gotta do Don't get me wrong, I don't judge, I'm not knocking you Guess that's what not having a job will do People starving gotta get they dollars too Get that gwop at night, it's a lot of strife My advice, is don't get blinded by the light Drug money and blood money got a price Six feet under or 25 to life Do a crime and you might do the time you serving What's it worth when you do a crime and get murdered Time is precious, time we earned it Time to question your grind, is it worth it It's time that we change the game We been waiting for change, and it came (big up Obama) Why play with death, play it safe Do your best to stay away from the
Evil things that people do The illegal dreams that we pursue We don't think that we could lose Call it cheese or cream or green or blue It's the root of evil we done proved It's supreme, from me to you
Evil things that people do The illegal dreams that we pursue We don't think that we could lose Call it cheese or cream or green or blue It's the root of evil we done proved It's supreme, from me to you}
