Children R the Future Lyrics by Big Daddy Kane

Children R the Future Lyrics

    On and on and on and on
    Me say the beat don't stop until the break of dawn
    Nor does the growth of our young world
    Yes the children, be buildin, each boy and girl
    Cause you are the cream of the planet earth
    The new birth, now take that for what it's worth
    And give the child room, to blossom and bloom
    Livin large, it's your destiny to consume
    To take flight and ignite to a brand new height
    Cause that's your goal in life - am I right? (Yeah!)
    To start reachin, come on each and every
    single one of y'all comprehend what I'm teachin
    I said listen up, listen up, listen up youngster
    Learn from a lesson that the Big Daddy brung ya
    It's nothin but knowledge, I shall bring to you
    And I'm not Mr. Rogers or Captain Kangaroo, but I know

    "children, children" - "are the future" (variations 4X)

    "children, children" Where we goin now?
    Take my hand my child, and let me show you how
    Cause I'm here to help..
    .. those who need Knowledge of Self
    Young brothers and sisters, considered the cream
    that must rise to the top and fulfill the dream
    And there are desires that we all want to achieve
    but remember, respect is most greatest to receive
    And we don't have to gain it by bein TOUGH
    Or sellin our own kind that cooked white stuff
    So bring your negative mind from out of the shade
    Find your true self and let's all get paid, because

    "children, children" - "are the future" (variations 4X)

    People, people, why we live illegal?
    Your life just ends short and you know that there's no sequel
    (sequel) They'll say that it was fun while it lasted
    You run wild, stickin up and gettin blasted
    Pregnant girls livin solo, on the welfare
    Cause your so-called man said go to hell dere
    And young brothers that could be tryin to rap
    Instead, are out boostin clothes at the Gap
    Now what kind of life is that for a child?
    Runnin wild livin foul, hey, change your lifestyle
    Get some knowledge, and open your eyes
    Just take a little bit of time,
    how fully you'll come to realize, that

    "children, children" - "are the future" (variations 4X)

    [Kane * singing *]
    I believe the children are the future
    Teach them well and let them lead the way
    Show them all of the beauty they posess inside
    Give them, a sense of pride
    to make it easier, let the children laughter
    remind us how we used to be
