Robbin Hood Theory Lyrics by Gang Starr

Robbin Hood Theory Lyrics

    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 your defeat; this is my Robbin Hood Theory... my Robbin Hood Theory

    Verse Two: Guru

    I floss my rhymes like dentals, my mental's presidential
    from the wild ghetto districts to the plush resedential
    Essential, would be the message that I send you
    I meant to, elevate at every venue
    Pops told me to pursue what is true, and nothing other
    And nowadays I pave the way for troops of my young brothers
    Necessary by all means, sort of like Malcolm
    Before it's too late; I create, the best outcome
    So I take this opportunity, yes to ruin the
    Devilish forces fuckin up my black community
    And we ain't doin no more interviews
    til we get paid out the frame, like motherfuckin Donahue
    We're taking over radio, and wack media
    Cause systematically they gettin greedier and greedier
    Conquering turfs with my ill organization
    Takin out the man while we scan the information
    You wanna rhyme you best to wait son
    You can't even come near, if you ain't got our share
    You front on us this year, consider yourself blown out of here
    Yeah... by my Robbin Hood Theory

    Chorus

    Verse Three: Guru

    God is Universal, he is the Ruler Universal
    For those who can't follow that spells GURU when in my circle
    I see all sides of my culture...
    Design my thoughts like a sculpture
    And chumps they wanna get with me cause I'm another entity
    I'm sent to be, leadin the army of the century
    Mention me, and snakes will retreat, eventually...
    ... due to my Robbin Hood Theory

    Chorus
