Livewire: I understand that you've got a new song out?

JB: Yeah, It's called "Killing Is Out, School Is In." And you need to hear the lyrics to it. I'm going to tell you what you gotta do, "try romance, turn that cap around and take that gun out of your pants." Killing seems to be a way of life in school. And what we're trying to tell 'em is that a lack of knowledge and a little bit of drugs will make you blow your cool. So we put it right there where you can hear it. We don't try and dress it up and do it like the system would do it - where it might miss the kids. We want to put it to 'em back on the street, in the same language. You know what you're getting here.

Livewire: Is this song going against what gangsta rap is all about?

JB: I'm not going against anybody. I'm going to tell the truth. There's no such thing as going against gangsta rap. We're not going to try and go against nobody. Let them do what they want to do, but they see that's it's been disastrous. Whether it's gangsta rap, rock n roll or R&B or funk or whatever it is - we're against that. So whatever makes your kid go crazy and want to shoot you and shoot his brother, that's what we're against. Years ago when people were running around with sheets on their heads, nothing was said about that. They don't say nothing about The Panthers, they don't say nothing about the Ku Klux, they don't say nothing about nobody. Let's just get it straight, because I think the Panthers want to live, the Ku Klux want to live, I want to live, you want to live and we ain't gonna live 'cause we won't have no kids around, you know? They don't want 'em to have no more Klans around and no more Panthers around, 'cause all the kids will be dead. It's that simple. Are we that stupid to let this happen to us? We don't need that. We don't have a country, you know what I'm sayin,' man? They're killin' everybody. They're killin' the kids now. That's sad. That bugs me more than anything in the world. I got anything I could need. I could be a fat rat and run, 'cause I saved my money. But I ain't happy. I'm not happy with that. I made it right here. I made it with these people. And because I'm able to do something for humanity, it's my duty to do it. Not my pay - my duty! I'm so glad I got me a platform that I can fight with, that's gonna do some good. I don't need a hit record. The Teacher gave me everything I'd ever need and brought all my records that y'all was raised up on back into the fold, 'cause one time whites couldn't hear 'em. Now they want everybody to hear 'em, 'cause they made sense. So they're back in the fold. Maybe people can get their fun back and not be mad at each other and be happy, you know? And laughing and talking and huggin.' It's 'brother.' 'Brother's' back in here again. That's what we needed real bad. And that's why I'm pushing this.
