Lyrics

0:01Peace Brother Elijah
0:02Hey peace Guru how you doing
0:04I'm maintaining
0:05Just been thinking though man
0:06About the situation for today's youth man the seeds man
0:10What's your opinion on that
0:11Mmm that's strange I was thinking the same thing
0:13Something I read in the holy Qu'ran how it says
0:16Has thou seen him who belies religion
0:18That is one who is rough to the orphan
0:21And no matter what we say our religion is
0:23Whether it's Islam Christianity
0:25Juddaism Buddha-ism Old School-ism or New School-ism
0:29If we're not schooling the youth with wisdom
0:31Then the sins of the father will visit the children
0:34And that's not keeping it real
0:36That’s keeping it wrong
0:40Now that we're getting somewhere
0:42You know we got to give back
0:43For the youth is the future no doubt that's right and exact
0:46Squeeze the juice out of all the suckers' power
0:49And pour some back out so as to water the flowers
0:52This world is ours that's why the demons are leary
0:55It's our inheritance this is my Robbin Hood Theory
1:02Robbin Hood Theory
1:04I seek sun deceive none for each one must teach one
1:06At least one must flow and show the structure of freedom
1:09It's me Dunn cause petty things we don't need them
1:12Let's focus to create something great for all that sees them
1:15They innocent they know not what they face
1:18While politicians save face genius minds lay to waste
1:20If I wasn't kicking rhymes I'd be kicking down doors
1:24Creating social change and defending the poor
1:26The God's always been militant and ready for war
1:29We're gonna snatch up the ringleaders
1:31Send them home in they drawers
1:32But first where's the safe at
1:34Let's make them show us
1:35And tell them hurry up give up the loot that they owe us
1:38We bringing it back around the way to our peeps
1:40Cause times are way too deep we know the Code of the Streets
1:43Meet your defeat this is my Robbin Hood Theory
1:48My Robbin Hood Theory
1:49I floss my rhymes like dentals my mental's presidential
1:52From the wild ghetto districts to the plush resedential
1:55Essential would be the message that I send you
1:58I meant to elevate at every venue
2:00Pops told me to pursue what is true and nothing other
2:03And nowadays I pave the way for troops of my young brothers
2:06Necessary by all means sort of like Malcolm
2:09Before it's too late I create the best outcome
2:12So I take this opportunity yes to ruin the
2:15Devilish forces f**king up my black community
2:18And we ain't doing no more interviews
2:20Till we get paid out the frame like mother f**king Donahue
2:23We're taking over radio and wacky media
2:26Cause systematically they getting greedier and greedier
2:30Conquering turfs with my ill organization
2:32Taking out the man while we scan the information
2:35You wanna rhyme you best to wait son
2:38You can't even come near if you ain't got our share
2:40You front on us this year consider yourself blown out of here
2:44Yeah by my Robbin Hood Theory
2:46Squeeze the juice out of all the suckers' power
2:49And pour some back out so as to water the flowers
2:52This world is ours that's why the demons are leary
2:55It's our inheritance this is my Robbin Hood Theory
2:58God is Universal he is the Ruler Universal
3:01For those who can't follow that spells Guru
3:02When in my circle
3:04I see all sides of my culture
3:07Design my thoughts like a sculpture
3:09And chumps they wanna get with me cause I'm another entity
3:11I'm sent to be leading the army of the century
3:15Mention me and snakes will retreat eventually
3:19Due to my Robbin Hood Theory
3:20Now that we're getting somewhere
3:22You know we got to give back
3:23For the youth is the future no doubt that's right and exact
3:26Squeeze the juice out of all the suckers' power
3:29And pour some back out so as to water the flowers
3:32This world is ours that's why the demons are leary
3:35It's our inheritance this is my Robbin Hood Theory
