Children R The Future - Big Daddy Kane

On and on and on and on 
Me say the beat don't stop until the break of dawn 
Nor does the growth of our young world 
Yes the children, be buildin, each boy and girl 
Cause you are the cream of the planet earth 
The new birth, now take that for what it's worth 
And give the child room, to blossom and bloom 
Livin large, it's your destiny to consume 
To take flight and ignite to a brand new height 
Cause that's your goal in life - am I right? (Yeah!) 
To start reachin, come on each and every 
single one of y'all comprehend what I'm teachin 
I said listen up, listen up, listen up youngster 
Learn from a lesson that the Big Daddy brung ya 
It's nothin but knowledge, I shall bring to you 
And I'm not Mr. Rogers or Captain Kangaroo, but I know 

"children, children" - "are the future" (variations 4X) 

"children, children" Where we goin now? 
Take my hand my child, and let me show you how 
Cause I'm here to help.. 
.. those who need Knowledge of Self 
Young brothers and sisters, considered the cream 
that must rise to the top and fulfill the dream 
And there are desires that we all want to achieve 
but remember, respect is most greatest to receive 
And we don't have to gain it by bein TOUGH 
Or sellin our own kind that cooked white stuff 
So bring your negative mind from out of the shade 
Find your true self and let's all get paid, because 

"children, children" - "are the future" (variations 4X) 

People, people, why we live illegal? 
Your life just ends short and you know that there's no sequel 
(sequel) They'll say that it was fun while it lasted 
You run wild, stickin up and gettin blasted
