[KRS-One] Class in session. What, is, democracy? [student] Yo it's the rule of the people. The self rule [student] It's what the people want! [K] That's right. But is this a democracy? [s] Nah, democracy is a goal to be attained [K] That's right. The character of the people should be reflected [K] in the laws and the institution of the state [s] Psssh, I don't see my character reflected! [K] Tell me [Hook One: KRS-One] WHY, are all the schools they fallin apart And WHY, the youth not takin no musical art And WHY, the professionals really don't know where to start No, one, really, cares, about WHY, the people ain't trustin the law and the order And WHY, the hookers from 70's look like our daughters And WHY, the radio station they help with the slaughter No, one, really, cares, about [KRS-One] The mind, they usin until it's time they doin a rhyme Will ruin what you doin if you crime pursuin Let me tell you bout gettin your family out the mean ghetto To green meadows, where you can finally be settled That street level, freak level, pullin out heat level Eatin meat level, deceit level, that's that beast level You gotta stand upright in a house with three levels Where you don't even see devils unless he shovels the snow Many philosophers live on the low Never crazy hazy or lazy we get up and go Whaddya know, I'm always teaching after the show Not messin with hoes, I'm with my wife, changin my clothes Blowin my nose, deliverin blows to foes With new flows; then disappear where nobody knows Cause I got too many questions, too many lessons I gotta go, too many people stressin but I gotta know [Hook Two: KRS-One] WHY, these officers gunnin us down on our block And WHY, the President never steps in on these cops And WHY, the mayor don't even look like he in shock No, one, really, cares, about WHY, the call of the poor is always ignored And WHY, the senators governors breakin the law And WHY, they taxin and taxin and taxin the poor No, one, really, cares, about [KRS-One] You, me, or themselves you can tell, they livin in hell But they come on the TV lookin so swell Sellin you dreams of schemes of you gettin green and cream But they never explain the work and all it means You got to visualize, close the lid on your eyes And visualize, minimize lies See yourself bigger in size, quicker to rise up Wise up climb up, before your time's up but [Hook One] [s] The votes [K] That's right [s] The politics [K] That's right [s] The government you know! [K] Uh-huh, people basically have the government they want [s] If people felt dissed, they'd be out rebellin right now
