[Intro: Cappadonna]
Knowledge is the knoalition, also too respect
Knowledge is the foundation of all things in existence
Such as the sun is the foundation of the solar system
and the Asiatic black man is the foundation of his family
[Chorus 3X: Cappadonna]
It's nice to be important but it's even more important to be nice
"Got to find a way" -> some kids
[Cappadonna]
That's my word, check one, check two
Donna makes one sacrifice, what?
Started to change when the days got strange
No more hand-to-hand, strictly campaigns
It's all economics, hard times and trick-knowledgy
Champagne, caviar, psychology
Practice to be me, strivin for equality
Buildin, I believe the children like Whitney and Walt Disney
"Got to find a way" -> some kids
Uh, uh, it's like that y'all and you don't quit
Shit that make you fall in love with it
Chorus 2X
[Cappadonna]
In the Days of Our Lives we could all feel the pain
when all of this children trapped in the game
Playin hookie from school, just ain't the same
When the guns get bigger, I worry 'bout the kids
The knucklehead ones with the elevator, bid
Trapped in America, it's hard to escape
The Projects, life is like the Planet of the Apes
When all of these kids be buggin wild off the tapes
It's your mindstate shorty, tellin you to be late
Do your homework kid, keep your mind out the dirt
You're only eighteen and you don't know who you hurt
I love you like a little brother, here's a razor
Carry that wise son, treasure what I gave ya
Chorus 2X
[Cappadonna]
Long time no so, long time suffer
As the days get tougher, rougher on Don
I wanted help but firs
