Why they always taking man for fool

It cannot be because we black, right?

Nah man we done fight that fight already

We done walk over all dem dead dead body

So what

Its cause we broke right

Nah man we got one, two, three jobs

One two three bank accounts

Credit card, debit card, paypal

So what, what is it?

Its cause we stupid?

Nah man we gone to pre-school

Primary school

Secondary school

College

University

We got degrees like celcius and Farenheit

Man we bright like light….

So wha de reason

They say our beaches free

But the road have fee

If left gone right

And right left

Wha we gone have leff?

Nothing

Not a dyam thing but a bunch of blind and deaf

Selfish, ignorant and pompous grown ass children

Civilized civilization

More like perfumed

Costumed slaverization

We’ve been emancipated into per annum interests

Given freedom to choose slavery

While we carnival, bacchanalia from church day to church day

Amen?

It makes the conversation sweet you know

Boy tings rough

Boy tings tough

Boy I tired

Boy dem bills

Boy, boy, boy

Boy Come lets pray

Clasp your hands and close your eyes

Complain to god

Tek dem licks

Buy dem new kicks

Make your denied gods rich

Come on

Clasp your hands

Close your eyes

Don’t wiggle

Tek dem licks

Now repeat

Padre nuestro

Que esta en el cielo

Sanctificado sea su nombre

Now click buy now

Place your X here

Sign here

Thine kingdom come

Thy will be done

Turn a blind eye

I said eyes closed

We musnt see when they

Take our lands

Our lives

Our wills

Our common sense

We trusting Google more than people

En el nomine Padre

Y el fille

Y el spiritos santo

What de hell can go so

I aint part and parcel of that bandwagon

I call fire when I see shit to burn

I call lightning when there is ignorance to spurn

I decide my own path

My mind is mine, so is my life

Can you not say the same?

You need to pull up and ask

What game dey playing

Is sweet oblivion sweet so?

You never hear pick sense from nonsense?

You never take stock and listen what day saying?

You sure is in you, you really put your trust in?

You in the car

But who driving?

Who driving?

A man?

Amen.
