Robbin Hood Theory

[Intro: A conversation between Guru and Elijah Shabazz]

Peace, Brother Elijah

Hey, peace Guru, how you doing?

I'm maintaining, just been thinking 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...

Something I read in the Holy Qur'an, 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, Judaism, Buddhaism –

Old Schoolism or New Schoolism –

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 keeping it wrong

[Chorus]

Now that we're getting 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 with power

And pour some back out, so as to water the flowers

This world is ours, that's why the demons are leery

It's our inheritance—this is my Robbin Hood Theory (Robbin Hood Theory...)

[Verse 1]

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 something 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 2]

I floss my rhymes like dentals, my mental's presidential

From the wild ghetto districts to the plush residential

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 thee–

Devilish forces fucking up my Black community

And we ain't doing no more interviews

'Til we get paid out the frame, like motherfuckin' Donahue

We're taking over radio, and wack media

'Cause systematically, they getting greedier and greedier

Conquering turfs with my ill organization

Takin' out The Man, while we scan the information

You wanna rhyme you best? Await, 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]

Squeeze the juice out, of all the suckers with power

And pour some back out, so as to water the flowers

This world is ours, that's why the demons are leery

It's our inheritance—this is my Robbin Hood Theory

[Verse 3]

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]

Now that we're getting 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 with power

And pour some back out, so as to water the flowers

This world is ours, that's why the demons are leery

It's our inheritance—this is my Robbin Hood Theory
