Evil That Men Do Lyrics - Krs One

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 guzzle 

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 

The 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 mankind 

Then there will be one thing that will never stop 

And it's the evil that men do
