[1989]
Lyrics & Music by D. Owens, L. Parker and Q. Latifah
Album: All Hail The Queen
All Hail The Queen
The male voice is KRS-One
[Queen Latifah:]
You asked I came so behold the Queen
Let's add a little sense to the scene
I'm living positive not out here knocked up
But the lines are so dangerous I ought to be locked up.
This rhyme – doesn't require prime time
I'm just sharing thoughts of mine
Back again cause I knew you wanted it
From the Latifah with the Queen in front of it
Dropping bombs you're up in arms, you're puzzled
The lines will flow like fluid while you're guzzling
The sip I drop you on a BDP-produced track
-From KRS to be exact
It's a Flavor Unit quest that today has me speaking
'cause it's knowledge I'm seeking
Enough about myself, I think it's time that I tell you
About the evil that men do..

Situations – reality, what a concept!
Nothing ever seems to stay in step
So today, here is a message to my sisters and brothers
Here are some things I want to cover
A woman strives for a better life, but who the hell cares?
Because she's living on welfare
I government can't come up with a decent housing plan
So she's in no man's land
It's a sucker who tells you you're equal !

[KRS-One:]
You don't need him, Johannasburg's crying for freedom!

[Queen Latifah:]
We the people hold these truths to be self-evident

[KRS-One:]
But there's no response from the president

[Queen Latifah:]
Someone's living the good life, tax-free
Except for a girl, can't find a way to be crack free
And that's just part of the message
I thought I had to send you about the Evil that men do

Tell me, don't you think it's a shame?
When someone can put a quarter in a video game
But when a homeless person approaches you on the street
-You can't treat him the same
It's time to teach the def, the dumb, the blind
That black-on-black crime only shackles and binds
You to a doom, a fate worse than death
But there's still time left
Stop putting your conscience on cease
And bring about some type of peace..
Not only in your heart, but also in your mind
It will benefit all mankind
Then there will be one thing that will never stop
And it's the Evil that men do..
