The Problem

Listen Listen
Old school new school
depends on the mirror
I rhyme about the times
when the youts are popping pillas
Miniature shotta mini rockers
Ain’t gotta lot of height
but heart he got a lotta
Dads are never there
nobody really cares
Cause we got used to it
like perm in black hair
So under the carpet is where it lives
Along with the fiddlers politicians
and them other miscreants
I have a common sense
for world’s events
So when I hear it on the news
I try and analyze the views
The pudding is the proof
that’s why they looking sick
looking malnourished
They should have never listened to it
Switch it off get it out like unruly kids
That’s why I was suspended from it
I was never in it
If they invented it never for
your development
If you can’t recognize it then you irrelevant
Me and my people live in tenement yards
And since they’re too watchy watchy
we have to draw card
Duppy let go of my hand
for this conundrum
Is gonna get me in trouble
like what bam bam
And they don’t know the half of it
I shook hands with the worry man
so it’s pure worry man
So I’m doing it like it’s my last album
Nothing is guaranteed
so watch the outcome
I doubt we out with them
we never roll wid dem
Never catch me chilling
with the other villains
I prefer the ones who do it
out of need rather the greed
Know what I mean
I recognize the pain and the will
And ovastand that it’s a sh*tty deal
But hey blood whatever we keep it real
Giving it to em until they will listen
I know they think that we’re dumb listen
They better know I ain’t the one listen
I don’t believe what they say listen
Can’t you tell I don’t play listen
And they can say what they like listen
Hide the facts with their lies listen
But if you feel it in your heart listen
When they say that you can’t
Every day we try to find a way
To get it together to get it together
They better be afraid of what
we got to say
Cause we be get it together
Hey it’s a problem hey it’s a problem
We glorify and glamorize the popular
The popular ting can get
you kind of popping
He be saying nothing she showing it all
Lyrics cut through nothing them
fools with blunted tools
Certain songs I can’t mess wid
Cause the science in the sound
got me screwing up my brow
I’m not sure how
but I trust my own instincts
Cause as long as I’m here
but spirit never extinct
So instinctively I push from the pagans
Kinda like a doctor prescription
Cause all I need to do is boost the melanin
Just give me some sunshine
and good food the elements
It’s pretty much becoming prevalent
That these people are pretending
that they are saying something
When they ain’t sayin’ nothing at all
From the window to the wall
We evoke greatness till 20 ft tall
I caught the feeling caught
the spirit caught the vibe
We must awake the spirit
so it comes alight
I never think I never tell no lies
What’s done in the dark
will come to the light
So keep your stories
I am not a child
I’m big grown woman with a big grown life
While they’re pissing on kids
and beating up their wives
I talk about the mother
that sucking on the pipes
I talk about the kids
with no voice out of sight
Running a fire to the power of the night
I ain’t got time I’m trying to do it all tonight
I’m listening to Pac thinking
least the brother tried
I recognize the pain and the will
And ovastand that it’s a sh*tty deal
But hey blood whatever we keep it real
Giving it to em until they will listen
I know they think that we’re dumb listen
They better know I ain’t the one listen
I don’t believe what they say listen
Can’t you tell I don’t play listen
And they can say what they like listen
Hide the facts with their lies listen
But if you feel it in your heart listen
When they say that you can’t
I know they think that we’re dumb listen
They better know I ain’t the one listen
I don’t believe what they say listen
Can’t you tell I don’t play listen
And they can say what they like listen
Hide the facts with their lies listen
But if you feel it in your heart listen
When they say that you can’t
Every day we try to find a way
To get it together to get it together
They better be afraid of what we got to say
Cause we be get it together
Hey it’s a problem hey it’s a problem
