Old school new school | |
depends on the mirror | |
I rhyme about the times | |
when the youts are popping pillas | |
Miniature shotta mini rockers | |
Ain’t gotta lot of height | |
but heart he got a lotta | |
Dads are never there | |
nobody really cares | |
Cause we got used to it | |
like perm in black hair | |
So under the carpet is where it lives | |
Along with the fiddlers politicians | |
and them other miscreants | |
I have a common sense | |
for world’s events | |
So when I hear it on the news | |
I try and analyze the views | |
The pudding is the proof | |
that’s why they looking sick | |
looking malnourished | |
They should have never listened to it | |
Switch it off get it out like unruly kids | |
That’s why I was suspended from it | |
I was never in it | |
If they invented it never for | |
your development | |
If you can’t recognize it then you irrelevant | |
Me and my people live in tenement yards | |
And since they’re too watchy watchy | |
we have to draw card | |
Duppy let go of my hand | |
for this conundrum | |
Is gonna get me in trouble | |
like what bam bam | |
And they don’t know the half of it | |
I shook hands with the worry man | |
so it’s pure worry man | |
So I’m doing it like it’s my last album | |
Nothing is guaranteed | |
so watch the outcome | |
I doubt we out with them | |
we never roll wid dem | |
Never catch me chilling | |
with the other villains | |
I prefer the ones who do it | |
out of need rather the greed | |
Know what I mean | |
I recognize the pain and the will | |
And ovastand that it’s a sh*tty deal | |
But hey blood whatever we keep it real | |
Giving it to em until they will listen | |
I know they think that we’re dumb listen | |
They better know I ain’t the one listen | |
I don’t believe what they say listen | |
Can’t you tell I don’t play listen | |
And they can say what they like listen | |
Hide the facts with their lies listen | |
But if you feel it in your heart listen | |
When they say that you can’t | |
Every day we try to find a way | |
To get it together to get it together | |
They better be afraid of what | |
we got to say | |
Cause we be get it together | |
Hey it’s a problem hey it’s a problem | |
We glorify and glamorize the popular | |
The popular ting can get | |
you kind of popping | |
He be saying nothing she showing it all | |
Lyrics cut through nothing them | |
fools with blunted tools | |
Certain songs I can’t mess wid | |
Cause the science in the sound | |
got me screwing up my brow | |
I’m not sure how | |
but I trust my own instincts | |
Cause as long as I’m here | |
but spirit never extinct | |
So instinctively I push from the pagans | |
Kinda like a doctor prescription | |
Cause all I need to do is boost the melanin | |
Just give me some sunshine | |
and good food the elements | |
It’s pretty much becoming prevalent | |
That these people are pretending | |
that they are saying something | |
When they ain’t sayin’ nothing at all | |
From the window to the wall | |
We evoke greatness till 20 ft tall | |
I caught the feeling caught | |
the spirit caught the vibe | |
We must awake the spirit | |
so it comes alight | |
I never think I never tell no lies | |
What’s done in the dark | |
will come to the light | |
So keep your stories | |
I am not a child | |
I’m big grown woman with a big grown life | |
While they’re pissing on kids | |
and beating up their wives | |
I talk about the mother | |
that sucking on the pipes | |
I talk about the kids | |
with no voice out of sight | |
Running a fire to the power of the night | |
I ain’t got time I’m trying to do it all tonight | |
I’m listening to Pac thinking | |
least the brother tried | |
I recognize the pain and the will | |
And ovastand that it’s a sh*tty deal | |
But hey blood whatever we keep it real | |
Giving it to em until they will listen | |
I know they think that we’re dumb listen | |

Every day we try to find a way | |
To get it together to get it together | |
They better be afraid of what we got to say | |
Cause we be get it together | |
Hey it’s a problem hey it’s a problem |
