Just A Number

(album: The Homeland - 2023)

Uh, uh (Yeah mon), uh
We now see the world (Kareem)
Through brand new eyes (It's real nephew)
Wooooaaaaay yeah (Cool To Be Conscious)
U hear dat
Money inna you pocket and you have a hot car (Hot car)
U friends call you hot star (Hot star)
U think you reach yeah
Look at the bigger picture

Them have we as just ah number
And seh we name ain't worth a thing
And if we want fame then we haffi sing
Play ball, run track and all sort of things
While dem collect the ring
Them have we as just ah number
And seh we name ain't worth a thing (Uh)
Position of power it control everything
If we nuh up deh
Then we nuh reach no weh, then we nuh reach no weh

Sign ah lifetime contract, You still have a boss (Still have a boss)
And if you violate you contract
You will lose it all (Will loose it all)
Yeah don't be blinded by the few
That they let through to brandish millions, even billions
It's all a part of their plan to have us chasing dreams of fiction

Them have we as just ah number
And seh we name ain't worth a thing
And if we want fame then we haffi sing
Play ball, run track and all sort of things
While dem collect the ring
Them have we as just ah number
And seh we name ain't worth a thing
Position of power it control everything
If we nuh up deh
Then we nuh reach no weh, then we nuh reach no weh yeah

With diamonds and gold
Many they control
Now don't you be blind
Know that it's all for a time
They want you think to support your brother it is a failure
They rather you give your money to stranger
Now are you picking up, picking up, picking up, picking up
Now be wise

Them have we as just ah number
And seh we name ain't worth a thing
And if we want fame then we haffi sing
Play ball, run track and all sort of things
While dem collect the ring
Them have we as just ah number
And seh we name ain't worth a thing (Uh)
Position of power it control everything (Uh)
If we nuh up deh
Then we nuh reach no weh, then we nuh reach no weh yeah

Simpler times called for simpler things
Breaking it down simpler goals calls for simpler strings
To be pulled connect the dots and build ya kingdom my king
Cherish the days we live long enough to see our dreams
Top of the heap, careful not to get to deep
Code of the streets will lay you out and put you 6 foot deep (Uh)
Hustle day and night just to survive
And if you make a mistake become a number for life
Them have we as just ah number
And seh we name ain't worth a thing (Thing)
And if we want fame then we haffi sing (Sing)
Play ball, run track and all sort of things
While dem collect the ring
Them have we as just ah number
And seh we name ain't worth a thing (Uh)
Position of power it control everything (Fi real)
If we nuh up deh
Then we nuh reach no weh (Nuh reach)
Then we nuh reach no weh yeah (Nowhere)
