Evil That Men Do (featuring Krs-one) Lyrics

Evil That Men Do (featuring Krs-one)

[Queen Latifah]

You asked, I came, so behold the Queen

Let's add a little sense to the scene

I'm living positive, not out here knocked up

But the lines are so dangerous, I ought to be locked up

This rhyme doesn't require prime time

I'm just sharing thoughts of mine

Back again cause I knew you wanted it

>From the Latifah with the Queen in front of it

Dropping bombs, you're up in arms, you're puzzled

The lines will flow like fluid while you're guzzling

The sip I drop you on a BDP-produced track

>From KRS to be exact

It's a Flavor Unit quest that today has me speaking

Cause it's knowledge I'm seeking

Enough about myself, I think it's time that I tell you

About the evil that men do



Situations, reality, what a concept!

Nothing ever seems to stay in step

So today, here is a message to my sisters and brothers

Here are some things I want to cover

A woman strives for a better life, but who the hell cares?

Because she's living on welfare

I government can't come up with a decent housing plan

So she's in no man's land

It's a sucker who tells you you're equal



[KRS-One]

You don't need him, Johannasburg's crying for freedom!



[Queen Latifah]

We the people hold these truths to be self-evident



[KRS-One]

But there's no response from the president



[Queen Latifah]

Someone's living the good life, tax-free

Except for a girl, can't find a way to be crack free

And that's just part of the message

I thought I had to send you about the evil that men do



Tell me, don't you think it's a shame?

When someone can put a quarter in a video game

But when a homeless person approaches you on the street

You can't treat him the same

It's time to teach the def, the dumb, the blind

That black-on-black crime only shackles and binds

You to a doom, a fate worse than death

But there's still time left

Stop putting your conscience on cease

And bring about some type of peace

Not only in your heart, but also in your mind

It will benefit all mandkind

Then there will be one thing that will never stop

And it's the evil that men do
