Rare Earth - The Evil That Men Do lyrics
Intro
 Psssshh, I guess niggaz don't realize a good thing til it's gone
 You know what I'm sayin man?
 Runnin around in these streets trickin, shit's hard man
 You know? But sometimes man
 Fools be bringin that shit on they god damn self
Verse One
 Nappy headed nigga stigmatism at birth
 Born to a family of four and so that makes me one-fourth
 Of a dysfunctional home
 I had a father who only stayed to see me grown
 When I turned twelve he was gone
 Alone, no role model
 I used to watch my Granddaddy and Uncle hit the bottle
 And then hit each other
 Granddaddy beat Grandmother, but that's before my time
 But I still see how it affected her mind
 As a child I introverted, and drew pictures
 While my mother prayed to Jesus reading King James scriptures
 She used to take me to church so I could put money in the basket
 Tell the preacher how she used to get her ass kicked
 And me, I mastered the art of hatred
 After pops left ran with my niggaz tryin to take shit
 Petty theft, I got caught a few times, but bust it
 Life is a bitch so fuck it
 In eighty-one I remember the night
 I covered myself with baby powder, so my black ass could be light
 Cause God is white, and Bo Derek is a ten
 I hate my black skin, it's just a sin to be a nigga
 Then again, I'm like the Frenchman, cause Granny's creole
 And therefore, we're black French people
 So I think it's best if I go to Catholic school
 And study under nuns and then I'll be a Catholic fool
 Cause none of these cults want none of us up
 And don't none want to see none of us live to be adults, sheeit
 No wonder brothers take lives for red and blue
 It's the evil that men do
Chorus
 But every nigga on my block
 Can't stop, and he won't stop, and he don't stop (repeat 4X)
 Interlude

 Nigga, nigga wake yo' punk ass up nigga!

 Shit, I'ma get you out, shit, bitches man)
 (Fuck that shit man, nigga what the fuck am I gonna do man?) *siren*
 We go make another gold LP nigga stop trippin nigga
 Nigga we own a gold LP, nigga stop trippin!
Verse Two
 By the time I hit adolescence and found hair on my nuts
 I grew twelve inches so now it's time to fuck sluts
 Never respected women, just had to keep my dick wet
 Fucked this virgin named Lena, I made a bet
 With my homies I could hit it first, then kicked her to the curb
 Til next year, I got a call from my man Kurt
 Since I never used jims I left a seed in the Earth
 That left a nigga feelin like dirt
 Cause now I'm a father, and got a two-week old daughter
 Ironically, don't even know her name it's a damn shame
 And ol girl never told me she was havin my baby
 The more I thought about, she fuckin played me
 Cause the family's lookin at me like I raped her
 Plus with another fuckin mouth to feed I need paper
 Did a caper, and took my Guinness Stout to the head
 September 1990, drunk drivin, the light turned red
 Somebody hit from the rear, I hit the brakes
 Then lost control of the steering wheel
 Hit a black Camaro and that's all I remember that night
 I woke up to a five-oh flashlight
 The car that I hit had exploded on impact
 One woman escaped, but the driver was trapped, he burned to death
 Manslaughter, off to C-Y-A
 Liftin weights in the yard and playin spades all day
 Now I'm eighteen, hit the County in the mix
 "Name and last three!" Austin, oh-six-six
 By now Grandpa went crazy and my Uncle had died
 And me I'm at the ranch makin pruno in Wayside
 In ninety-three, I got probation
 Searchin for an occupation, cause now I'm pickin restitution, confusion
 I'm lookin at myself and seein every other nigga I knew
 It's the evil that men do
Chorus
Chorus (to fade)
