Lesson To Be Taught - Lord Finesse And DJ Mike Smooth

Here we go  so pay attention to the teacher 
Here to preach a lesson to reach ya 
Brothers and sisters  nieces and nephews 
Think that I'm joking? Well then F you 
Cause I'm here to put you up on a crime scoop 
It'll only take a minute of your time  troop 
So don't be a dummy or a lame brain 
Lord Finesse is teaching so just maintain 
I'm not trying to diss you or even teach you 
But here to teach you we are all equal 
And show y'all in fact there's a better way 
Than depending on Welfare or Medicaid 
So finish up school and pass the scholar quiz 
And show your children what the value of a dollar is 
Cause many children are hard to please today 
Cause they're searching for some type of easy way 
But there's not, so who's at fault here? 
So think about the lesson being taught here 
How many brothers in the world you see today 
Can say that they're living the legal way? 
Out of 20, I could say a few of them 
Out of seven I could say about two of them 
Live correct and, show respect and 
Don't sweat was is owned by the next man 
Or front the role, being harder or tougher 
Or live the life of a hustler 
Selling that white stuff just to make a fast buck 
But they don't stand tough when in handcuffs 
So understand and comprehend and see, kid 
You don't wanna take a fall like he did 
Or she did or they did, or how others did 
So don't sweat the lifestyle of another kid 
Get yours by achieving and planning 
So when they fall you'll still be standing 
Set your goal, and know what your quest is 
Open your ears to this positive message
