Verse 1 [Rae]: Easy lovers listen with your hearts on hold Give me a minute while I paint my shit gold To sell the sacred to the hated...ten fold And donate the proceeds; (oops forgot I left you on hold) As we proceed to give you more things to need Instead of food and education, try Nikes and greed A Che Guevara T-shirt from a Latin sweatshop Bob Marley chucks from a Dread that got shot The revolution will be televised only on Pay-Per-View Let the children breed monsters and I don't mean Picachu I mean YOU watching people like YOU get murdered Bullets raze ghettoes like Single Black Mothers Bombs get dropped like Funk Flex on brothers And you are the cause, of course, did I stutter? You don't believe me I need more people Revolutionaries in the real axis of evil Writers to speak for the dispossessed people Listeners and readers to see that's it simple Lest you don't believe we are all created equal Do it right now for there will be no sequel Chorus: Se mi jeje, Se mi jeje, iyawo ye, se mi jeje, se mi jeje (3x) Se mi jeje, se mi jeje, semi jeje, se mi jeje Verse 2 [Rae]: Hey, Young World I see you growing wild Word from an O-G, Be a father to your child Cos you cant leave the raising of a youth to television That only tells him how to get trapped in the system Advertisement tell him that he won't be happy If he doesn't have the newest-latest updated malarky Everybody aiming for 15 minutes of fame Call it 'Reality-TV' only thing real is the name Your child grows up imitating the vain, thinking that's real Then he sees suffering and pain, and won't think that's real Cos there's no emotional music in the background of the news While the weapon contractors that own the channels share their views Abused till he lives to consume Greed looms heavy -- Elephant in the Room Desensitized from the womb to the tomb But you say Rae cut out the boom and gloom Verse 3 [Teck]: Life is a Housewife, we are the Step Children Living off the crumbs cut off from all dealings When the sun sets, the son rise The feeling of God is up there but all I see is just ceilings (Nigeria) Paradise or Hell, addicted to hope like parasite to cells No running water, we paralyze the wells So we drink from the cesspool analyze the smell Similar to Crabs in a Barrel Basic amenity is crap so we travel When we arrive then it starts to unravel Same ish different toilet so we 'Marvel' (Shazam!) Here comes a new system Council tax wait (I'mma let you finish) listen Scrambling like Blind Mice in this rat race In the 'Jungle Metropolis' giving a cat chase I wanna break records, bread and smash boulders Move to the tropics were its cool and less colder Give a helping hand to the weak maybe a shoulder There's more to being Black than a Minority Quota
