Emcees, if you don't have a reason
If you don't come with original rhyme
Better practice up for next season
Cause right now, you're just wasting my time
Got to stop all that fussing
And please don't put up a fight
Got to stop all the pushing and the shoving
Pass the fire to your left or to your right
To your right, to your left my friend, to your right
And I know that you call yourself a rude boy
A stepping razor, who's your savior
I know that you've got nothing to loose boy
But for once in your life, do yourself a favor
It's so nice to free yourself from hate
Oh god, I'm singing this song to help you escape
Ain't nobody stopping this jail break
I said this love someday shall conquer
We've got to unite to fight down the monster
Love shall overcome, but the work is never done
Emcees if your not rhyming about progression
Then you don't have a place behind the microphone
If you've got some pent up aggression
That's something you should deal with on your own
Because the children of the world out there are listening
And I hear they're getting smarter every day
But you better be careful with the wisdom that you're giving them
And be mindful of the words you say
The children of the world out there are listening
And I hear they're getting smarter every day
But you better be careful with the wisdom that you're giving them
And be mindful of the words you say
Save your violence for revolution day
When self defense is the only other way
Start building tomorrow for today
You've got to give thanks and praise
