Robbin Hood Theory - Gang Starr
[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
