2nd Quarter - Free Throws Lyrics

    Anybody in here right now with tape decks turn em on
    And put em on record, i'll give you a second
    I want to add authenticity to your tape
    So when it's sold out in the street
    You all can know this was a real party

    These are poems circulating throughout the nation
    Everybody's bad and everybody's tough
    But how many people are intelligent enough
    To open up their eyes and see through the lies
    Discipline themselves, yourself to stay alive?
    Not many
    That's why the universe sent me today on this stage
    With this to to say
    The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer
    And in the final hour many heads will lose power
    What does the rich versus the poor really mean?
    Psychologically it means you got to pick your team
    When someone says the rich gets richer
    Visualize wealth and put yourselves in the picture
    The rich get richer, cause they work towards rich
    The poor get poorer, cause their minds can't switch from the ghetto
    Let go, it's not a novelty
    You could love your neighborhood without loving poverty
    Follow me, every mother, father, son, daughter
    There's no reason to fear the new world order
    We must order the whole new world to pay us
    The new world order and the old state chaos
    The big brother watching over you, is a lie you see
    Hip-hop could build it's own secret society
    But first you and i got to unify
    Stop the niggativity and control our creativity
    The rich is getting richer, so why we ain't richer?
    Could it be we still thinking like niggas?
    Educate yourselves, make your world view bigger
    Visualize wealth and put yourselves in the picture!
