    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!
