Intro 1
Em
Forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those
Em
that trespass against us
Although them again
we will never never never trust
Them not know what them do
Em
Big out to yi while I'm stickin' like glue
Fling skin grin while them plotting for you,

Verse 2
Em
Why every Indian want to be the chief?
Feed a man 'til he full and he still want beef
Em
Give me grief, try to tief off my piece
Why for you to increase, I must decrease?
Em
If I treat you kindly,
does it mean that I'm weak?
You hear me speak
and think I won't take it to the streets
that don't turn the other cheek
But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik
Em
And other African czars,
observing stars with war scars
Get yours in this capitalistic system
Em
So many caught or got bought
you can't list them
How you gonna idolize the missing?
To survive is to stay alive
Em
in the face of opposition
Even when they comin', gunnin'
I stand position
Em
L's known the mission since conception
Let's free the people from deception
If you looking for the answers
then you gotta ask the questions
my voice echoes through the ghetto
Sick of men trying to pull strings like Geppetto
always be the ones to settle?
Pre-chorus 2
March through these streets like Soweto, uh

Jesus and Judas, backstabbers

Men who lack conscience

A friend once said, and I found to be true
