Corruption
For hundreds of years we've been looking for the easy way out
But when it comes to bribes we have no doubt
No one does it better than us; the rich in the west
Now day's cops don't feel the need to arrest
A simple note of money is most men's flaw
Whatever happened to justice and ‘the law's the law'?
Parents trying to get their kids better education
But to succeed in life you need authorization, dedication
Not just your daddy's bank account
Who will pay whatever amount, to keep his darling child happy?
Criminals are on the streets, rising in numbers
And the police arrest rate? It's all blunders!
They stumble around on cases like it's their first steps again
Just waiting for the thugs who'll turn up and act like businessmen
‘500 to leave us alone' they'll say
And the cops will take it, no delay
The governments in our world are completely corrupt
And I hope you don't mind me when I interrupt
As our civilisations increases in understanding we should be left on our feet, still standing!
Not down on our knees, begging for a bribe
Just because the doctor wouldn't prescribe, those pills you wanted
Which you are now hooked on, so you need to buy some d**
You move on to the hard core stuff, the things that will make you feel extremely rough
But you don't care cause you get that high you wanted
And you don't listen too when your child grows up and says ‘Dad, we could have bonded'
Cause you're too stuck up, too included in this d** ring
To see that even when you feel like it, you're never a king
That's just the d** working, using your body
Has it ever occurred to you that this system is shoddy?
All around the world there are hard-working men
And all that happens is that they get turned down again, and again
While all the rich, posh pricks, bribe their way to the top
Very rarely do you see a man in the city, who created his own crop
Who put the EFFORT it, he broke his bones, just to get at the chance to repay his loans
Everyone knows there's something wrong but no one does a thing
People just close their eyes to it all, play with a piece of a string
Trying to pretend they don't notice, they don't know what's going on
Even when the hard working people are getting threatened with a bomb
They're being beaten back by the corrupted police
Who do nothing to do with justice and more to buy a new mantelpiece
Cause they're like the toys of the rich, the spoilt and the wealthy
They'll do anything, as long as they stay healthy
Of course in recent years the amounts of bribes have been decreasing
But the state of mind the police are in is unceasing
They're lazy, they never complete the job
They don't care if the streets are ruled by a mob
‘We're getting close to an arrest, we're nearly there.'
Say the idiots at the station who want to be a millionaire
But do nothing about it, nothing to achieve their dreams
All day they just sit there and completely ignore the screams
The screams from a planet which is slowly dying
The pace with which this is happening is horrifying
We talk about recycling, and keeping ourselves fit
But in the end all of us know that we never commit
To REALLY making a change in our lives, beating the depression
Fighting back against the fat cats and succeeding in our profession
Unfortunately we all know that there's very few of these people
Because most of our humanity prefers to inject themselves with a needle
Till they become feeble
Not able to support the family on their backs
Not coming into work and avoiding tax
The world is corrupt, this increases every day
Our world is falling into more and more disarray
This can't go on, it has to stop, at least one thing we've learnt from this rap- don't be a cop
