Riot!
(专辑: Rose Azura Njano - 2017)
[Deacon the
Villain & Natti:] Old heads saying Why them people outside Tryna keep them young boys quiet Get low, why? Them young boys wild Looking at 'em 'bout to start a
riot Good Lord, why them people outside? Tryna keep them young girls quiet Get low, why? Them young girls wild Looking at 'em 'bout to start a
riot Good Lord [Deacon the
Villain:] Look at all the
red, some whites in blue No rights, incites, the
fight in you For life you no nice, you no like my hue You strike we stand straight as a
stripe on cue And you ask, why we burning up the
neighborhood? As if the
ghetto was created for the
greater good It's even burning where the
savior stood We trying to self destruct this what will make you do it Tryna find a
nugget of truth in something Other than art, somewhere other than youth It's all lies everything under your roof To learn that history's been slanted just to keep you aloof It reaches moments, when even the
righteous choose violence From silence to siren a
seismic environment In life's maze, maybe what's left is the
right way I
hate to blacken yo white day, but old heads saying [Deacon the
Villain & Natti:] Why them people outside Tryna keep them young boys quiet Get low, why? Them young boys wild Looking at 'em 'bout to start a
riot Good Lord, why them people outside? Tryna keep them young girls quiet Get low, why? Them young girls wild Looking at 'em 'bout to start a
riot Good Lord [Natti:] No way left to temper the
temperature of the
town Hear the
brush with death painting Crimson across the
ground Down now, get behind something A
cause or some cover, take aim or take suffering News cameras never get the
pause Only want the
rumble in the
jungle when they popping out the
claws Civil rights suddenly got a
clause Declaring martial law, too many ninjas tightening up they bras Being lioness doesn't make it a
lion less And hunting down the
Cubs is good way to lie in rest Yes, stress and pressure bust pipes Know it ain't fun when the
rabbits behind the
sights Seeing fires burning as bright as the
city lights Fueled by revolt its highest voltage ignite Generations behind with numbers in decline Are now the
ones peeking out the
blinds in these times saying [Deacon the
Villain & Natti:] Why them people outside Tryna keep them young boys quiet Get low, why? Them young boys wild Looking at 'em 'bout to start a
riot Good Lord, why them people outside? Tryna keep them young girls quiet Get low, why? Them young girls wild Looking at 'em 'bout to start a
riot Good Lord [Deacon the
Villain:] Can I
get an "R" for the
Riot, "E" for emotion? "D" for devotion, what's the
commotion? You ask why we burn up the
streets that we live on Did we get that notion from across the
ocean Such self destruction, pain and the
misery We know nothing of infamy, let's roll play the
history Book; reverse psychology the
apology That civil war wasn't fought for me, it was economy Look, Abe freed the
slaves, date recorded But it took a
hundred years to piss in the
same toilet Abe freed the
slaves, date recorded But it took a
hundred years to piss in the
same toilet Why them people outside Tryna keep them young girls quiet? Conditioned to hate self since we met Christians And taught that God needs negus us in full submission To man this a
devilish plan To pull that monkey business off you'd need one helluva clan Ya understand? A
devilish plan To pull that monkey business off you'd need one helluva Klan One helluva Klan One helluva Klan Klan, Klan
