Anybody in here right now with tape decks turn 'em on And put 'em on record, I'll give you a second I want to add authenticity to your tape So when it's sold out in the street You all can know this was a real party These are poems circulating throughout the nation Everybody's bad and everybody's tough But how many people are intelligent enough To open up their eyes and see through the lies Discipline themselves, yourself to stay alive? Not manyThat's why the universe sent me today on this stage With this to to say The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer And in the final hour many heads will lose power What does the rich versus the poor really mean? Psychologically it means you got to pick your team When someone says the rich gets richer Visualize wealth and put yourselves in the picture The rich get richer, 'cause they work towards rich The poor get poorer, 'cause their minds can't switch from the ghetto Let go, it's not a novelty You could love your neighborhood without loving poverty Follow me, every mother, father, son, daughter There's no reason to fear the new world order We must order the whole new world to pay us The new world order and the old state chaos The big brother watching over you, is a lie you see Hip hop could build it's own secret society But first you and I got to unify Stop the *********** and control our creativity The rich is getting richer, so why we ain't richer? Could it be we still thinking like ******? Educate yourselves, make your world view bigger Visualize wealth and put yourselves in the picture
