I'll Take You There

                                   







Hear ye, hear ye, from far and near 



The one they call the Big Daddy Kane is here 



To deliver a message to everyone everywhere 



So listen up party people cause this you should hear 



It's a story of a far-away atmosphere 



That you will find very rare and far beyond compare 



All is sincere and rather debonair 



So let's all gather around, because... 







 (x4) 







Off to a place you thought was unreal 



Where people of the world do know how to chill 



Everything remains cool and calm where you are 



And if you ask about crime, they all'll say,  



They wouldn't even know what you mean 



Cause it's a different program, y'all know the routine 



Where people work hard for a decent buck 



And you can wear truck jewelry without being stuck 



Never wondering whether your house is all right 



So go leave your VCR on the porch overnight 



And as for the people they all stand proud 



Senior citizens party with the hip-hop crowd 



You can hang at a jam till the break of dawn 



And leave without your Bally shoes getting stepped on 



Everyone walks around in their right mind and all 



Because crack ain't nothing but a hole in the wall 



So those who wish to live with glare and flair 



There's a place that this can be done, and yo...

What I discovered may just only seem 



As something that you find in your wildest dream 



But! on the real tip, you will see 



I'm not playing, what I'm saying is reality 



There is a place people live with joy 



That the next man cannot come along and destroy 



No one faces problems, no one says sorry 



And war ain't nothing but a game on Atari 



This message also applies to other nations 



Like Africa for instance, where there's starvation 



But if you come with me, you're sure to see 



Ethiopians can eat in Red Lobster for free 



And people that you saw before that were poor 



Will never ever see the situation no more 



Cause in this world everyone's a millionaire 



 



Are you sick? 



And what the hell is welfare? 



Fashions are smashing for all to flaunt 



And we can get anything that we want 



So don't think you can't afford expensive design 



Because fresh Gucci wear is only $5.99 



So come ye all and attend this affair 



As we journey to the promised land, and... 







 (x3) 







Since I'm the type of guy that laughs and jokes 



This may sound funny, but seriously folks 



It's a shame that people today must live 



In a world that's operating oh so negative 



But I found a place designed especially for you 



Where peace and harmony is everyone's culture 



So let's all gather around before this world corrupts 



And we don't even need Scotty to beam us up 



Because...
