Queen Latifah - Evil That Men Do Lyrics
[queen latifah]You asked, I came, so behold the queenLets add a little sense to the sceneIm living positive, not out here knocked upBut the lines are so dangerous, I ought to be locked upThis rhyme doesnt require prime timeIm just sharing thoughts of mineBack again cause I knew you wanted it]from the latifah with the queen in front of itDropping bombs, youre up in arms, youre puzzledThe lines will flow like fluid while youre guzzlingThe sip I drop you on a bdp-produced track]from krs to be exactIts a flavor unit quest that today has me speakingCause its knowledge Im seekingEnough about myself, I think its time that I tell youAbout the evil that men doSituations, reality, what a concept!Nothing ever seems to stay in stepSo today, here is a message to my sisters and brothersHere are some things I want to coverA woman strives for a better life, but who the hell cares?Because shes living on welfareI government cant come up with a decent housing planSo shes in no mans landIts a sucker who tells you youre equal[krs-one]You dont need him, johannasburgs crying for freedom![queen latifah]We the people hold these truths to be self-evident[krs-one]But theres no response from the president[queen latifah]Someones living the good life, tax-freeExcept for a girl, cant find a way to be crack freeAnd thats just part of the messageI thought I had to send you about the evil that men doTell me, dont you think its a shame?When someone can put a quarter in a video gameBut when a homeless person approaches you on the streetYou cant treat him the sameIts time to teach the def, the dumb, the blindThat black-on-black crime only shackles and bindsYou to a doom, a fate worse than deathBut theres still time leftStop putting your conscience on ceaseAnd bring about some type of peaceNot only in your heart, but also in your mindIt will benefit all mandkindThen there will be one thing that will never stopAnd its the evil that men do
