lyrics

Verse 1_
I’ll turn the wackest mc Hammer tracks to classic bangers like Casablanca
But frankly I don’t give a damn to back a rappin’ dancer
They stuck in the mud pop like flat tubes on the off-road circuit
Up in the drudge music for some loot and awards that’s worthless
I’m skipping the Barnum and Bailey carnival trainee circus
Specifically I’m on that no-joke flow chokehold – mainly murderous
Sometimes I hurt scriptwriter’s feelings like vagina stealing
Deliver like a milk truck driver while suits are meeting
Daughters and wives are feeding on my rhymes like soup to needy
Street corner minors – teething kids who grind ‘til they bleeding
And still ain’t eating right – dawn to dusk to deep at night
A meal a day just ain’t an equal way for us to lead in life
Competing like crabs in a barrel, dragging those who can carry the load
Perhaps even more care to bear their souls
I tear your bones like a bear hug to free emotions
Leave you motionless with a stare thugs only see in low-res
No rest or restitution ‘til the worker’s revolution
Get some union rights that truly fight to coexist as humans
Try producing your own city or home with stock prices
Or them shitty-ass cellphones you busily yap on while I sweat
Like a devil in the Babylon sun travelling long to work
While you sit bedridden on Telecom networks
The only legwork rich jerks put in was slave-related
So don’t be mad if it was your granddad that made us jaded

Chorus_
We sick ‘n tired of the sick and tired
Victimised by the venom eyes of Queen Elizabeth’s empire
We sick ‘n tired of the sick and tired
Tricked with lies and the –ism talk these capitalist rich conspire

Verse 2_
Capitalism, Communism, Consumerism,
Socialism, Gism was supposed to lead us all into God’s wisdom
But It’s all –isms in my red eyes from alcohol and ism
Just trace the suffix and escape that dollar prison
What’s realism? Let me touch you ‘till you feel it sizzle
I’m seeing visions but the Tele- lies to me in pixels
Systematic analog-digital subliminals
Encrypted transmissions that reinforce your fear impulse
It says black people are poor and poor folks are criminals
Criminal minds are dumb and dumb hobos just deserve to go
Simultaneously whites are painted radiantly
Radiance sheds the light and light gives life, which created me?
Basically black is death and white’s a blessing
Being rich is a privilege – not a right
depending on how light or fair-skinned
Suss it out for self – your health all amounts to wealth
Some live hand-to-mouth so how the Hell
they’ll use their mouths to yell?

Chorus_
We sick ‘n tired of the sick and tired
Victimised by the venom eyes of Queen Elizabeth’s empire
We sick ‘n tired of the sick and tired
Tricked with lies and the –ism talk these capitalist rich conspire
