yeah
(there's a message, the song that im singing)
new york city
(there's a message, the song that im singing)
ghettos world wide
(there's a message, the song that im singing)

it's the
evil things that people do
the illegal dreams that we persue
we don't think that we could lose

(verse 1)

yall 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're 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 gets too cerebral, when at least he legal
either way it's hell, i can't save the world
but i can show em how to save themselves
from the,

evil things that people do
the illegal dreams that we persue
we don't think that we could lose

cause it's
cheese or cream or green will rule
it's the root of evil we done proved
it's supreme, from me to you

(verse 2)

i see thru the eyes of the prophets, king tutankhamun
and martins and malcolms, elijah muhammads
wise who acknowledge, paid in full aint just the size of the pockets
it rise where the top is, rise economics
i'll show you that time is more valuable then them diamonds in your watches
you grind with a gloc, is you dying for them dollars ?
what's worth more to you ? your life or your gwop if ?
thugs is pitchin, chicks is in the club strippin,
flippin drugs are pimpin' -(the) hood is blood are crippin'
latin kings and black gorillas,
government sits back hopin' 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 flippin bricks is over with
take your chips and go legit from the


evil things that people do
the illegal dreams that we persue
we don't think that we could lose

cause it's
cheese or cream or green will rule
it's the root of evil we done proved
it's supreme, from me to you

(verse 3)

too much g'z on the block to 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 servin'
whats it worth to 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 to 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 persue
we don't think that we could lose

cause it's
cheese or cream or green will rule
it's the root of evil we done proved
it's supreme, from me to you
