'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
