Queen Latifah - Evil That Men Do lyrics
[Queen Latifah - Evil That Men Do lyrics]
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
Cause it's knowledge I'm seeking
Enough about myself
I think it's time that I tell you
About the evil that men do
Situations, reality what a concept!
Nothing ever seems to stay in step so today
Here is a message to my sisters and brothers
Here are some things I want to cover
A woman strives for a better life
But who the hell cares?
Because she's living on welfare
I government can't come up with
A decent housing plan
So she's in no man's land
It's a sucker who tells you you're equal
You don't need him Johannesburg's
Crying for freedom! We the people hold these
Truths to be self-evident
But there's no response from the president
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 fate worse than death
But there's still time left
Stop putting your conscience on cease
And bring about some type of peace
Not only in your heart, but also in your mind
It will benefit all mankind
Then there will be one thing
That will never stop
And it's the evil that men do
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
Cause it's knowledge I'm seeking
Enough about myself

About the evil that men do

Nothing ever seems to stay in step so today
