Robbin Hood Theory Lyrics - Gangstarr

(Intro features Elijah Shabazz from Muhammad Mosque No. 7) 

Peace Brother Elijah 

Hey peace Guru, how you doin? 

I'm maintainin 

Just been thinkin though man 

about the situation for today's youth man, the seeds man 

What's your opinion on that? 

Mmm that's strange I was thinkin the same thing 

Somethin I read in the holy Qu'ran how it says 

"Has thou seen him who belies religion? 

That is one who is rough, to the orphan." 

And no matter what we say our religion is 

whether it's Islam, Christianity 

Juddaism, Buddha-ism, Old School-ism or New School-ism 

If we're not schooling the youth WITH wisdom 

then the sins of the father will visit the children 

And that's not keepin it real... 

that's keepin it -- WRONG 

Chorus: Guru

Now that we're gettin somewhere, you know we got to give back 

For the youth is the future no doubt that's right and exact 

Squeeze the juice out, of all the suckers power 

And pour some back out, so as to water the flowers 

This world is ours, that's why the demons are leary 

It's our inheritance; this is my Robbin Hood Theory... Robbin Hood Theory 

Verse One: Guru 

I seek Sun, deceive none, for each one must teach one 

At least one must flow and show the structure, of freedom 

It's me Dunn, cause petty things we don't need 'em 

Let's focus to create somethin great, for all that sees them 

They innocent, they know not what they face 

while politicians save face genius minds lay to waste 

If I wasn't kickin rhymes I'd be kickin down doors 

Creatin social change and defendin the poor 

The God's always been militant, and ready for war 

We're gonna snatch up the ringleaders send em home in they drawers 

But first where's the safe at? Let's make em show us 

and tell em hurry up, give up the loot that they owe us 

We bringin it back, around the way to our peeps 

Cause times are way too deep, we know the Code of the Streets 

Meet your defeat; this is my Robbin Hood Theory... my Robbin Hood Theory 

Verse Two: Guru 

I floss my rhymes like dentals, my mental's presidential 

from the wild ghetto districts to the plush resedential 

Essential, would be the message that I send you 

I meant to, elevate at every venue 

Pops told me to pursue what is true, and nothing other 

And nowadays I pave the way for troops of my young brothers 

Necessary by all means, sort of like Malcolm 

Before it's too late; I create, the best outcome 

So I take this opportunity, yes to ruin the 

Devilish forces fuckin up my black community 

And we ain't doin no more interviews 

til we get paid out the frame, like motherfuckin Donahue 

We're taking over radio, and wack media 

Cause systematically they gettin greedier and greedier 

Conquering turfs with my ill organization 

Takin out the man while we scan the information 

You wanna rhyme you best to wait son 

You can't even come near, if you ain't got our share 

You front on us this year, consider yourself blown out of here 

Yeah... by my Robbin Hood Theory 

Chorus 

Verse Three: Guru 

God is Universal, he is the Ruler Universal 

For those who can't follow that spells GURU when in my circle 

I see all sides of my culture... 

Design my thoughts like a sculpture 

And chumps they wanna get with me cause I'm another entity 

I'm sent to be, leadin the army of the century 

Mention me, and snakes will retreat, eventually... 

... due to my Robbin Hood Theory 

Chorus
