• Kurtis Blow : [rappin']  Now I'm the King and I want you to know, That I'm the Master Blaster Rapper who's running the show, And to all of you rappers in every country, You better stop what you're doing and listen to me, 'Cause we gotta stop war and use unity, To fight crime and hunger and poverty, 'Cause the African baby is dying overseas, While you sucker mission politicians busting out Z's, Huh, 20 million people all unemployed, While the rich man try to play Pretty Boy Floyd, While the working class just struggles hard, Try to make ends meet against all odds, While the poor man can't even deal with life, You know he tried to escape, and smoked the coke on the pipe, And it's time for a *change*, to a better way, 'Cause the sun has *gotta* shine through the cloudy day, So *listen up* world while I teach this class, And take heed to the message or we ain't gonna last, 'Cause I know, the solution, is the contribution, Of woman and man to just join the revolution...
