lyrics

They got man working every day
Can barely pay the rent
Following these rules they’re making up
None of its making sense
Always one rule for us
One next ting for them
Any time one of us rises up
Remix, Think again
Don’t insult our intellect
Look how they get in our head
Get the cash get the benz
Get the garms get the creps
Yeah man go get everything
The distraction never ends
Its there but not there like info red
& along as you don’t have vim for them
The 98 controlled by 2&
The power is not where the energy is
Its like they never deep it
Fake hand out is not what we needed
Why do they think they can say anything
& not give the people any reason
Trying to take man for sone ideat
But im not confused who the enemy is
Watching us to see what we’re doing
But we don’t know what they’re doing
They aint got to be the ones who go through it
Were the ones who go through it
If were not the change than who is
They want me scared of my people
I told them sorry my bruddah I’ll never do it

Just another day in the office
But who’s watching there watchers
Everyday toxic
That’s not what we wanted
Fighting over our differences
Maybe this is mission accomplished
Meanwhile there are bigger fish in control that’s given us problems
Distract us with nonsense
Constant
They want us to afraid of our neighbours
Like were all monsters
Me & them have got more in common
At one point we all was foreign
Its time that we all acknolage
They’re the ones we cant get along with
Old school afro dry white knees
Mum & dad raised three Pitneys
None of them are fools
So they fooling a man
They cant trick me
When they going to learn that
We run tings, tings nuh run we
Were powerful more than we know
Everything is under control
The answers are under our nose
That’s the one thing giving us hell
That’s the same thing giving us hope
They never wanted us to be free
We’ve got to pay for that I suppose
