Kojo Crentsil - Everyday People lyrics

Hook (×2): We just everyday people doing everyday sh** Everyday people doing everyday sh** Everyday people doing everyday sh** Everyday people doing everyday sh** Verse 1: They try to make us feel like we ain't worth sh** Worthless curses flung at us by these serpents In this melting pot, we are roasting in the furnace I can never worship another man; my purpose - Is much greater than your status quo (yeah that is so) They want us to compete for who's the baddest hoe or the maddest bro Make us smell the cash, but they make sure we can't grab it though Mouth waters as they stab their forks in their ca**eroles The further we climb, the more they chop the base of our ladders slow Promoting those with the whackest flow, and I know that these ba*tards know If we come together, they are finished, so what they do Is pit us 'gainst each other with some trivial a** craze Dude, yes you've got a job, but how much do they pay you? Quit that motherf**er yo; you can make your lane too We're everyday people, but we've got bigger hearts and We are kings and queens in this jungle; we are Tarzan Hook (×2): We just everyday people doing everyday sh** Everyday people doing everyday sh** Everyday people doing everyday sh** Everyday people doing everyday sh** Verse 2: Catastrophic casualties can't create commodities Confrontations can't communicate all our qualities We have the ecology to shape our own economies So why are we still on our knees, still acting like their colonies? Individual greed, yeah my people's eyes are colored green Ain't talkin' 'bout no vegetable (ya nahmean?) Where's that collective mentality we had? Such a paradox that we'll happily be sad Make cheap deals abroad and watch the people in the Homeland Beg for common goods from foreigners in their own land Enslaved by oppressors who could well be our own kind Every time we cosign, we prove how much we don't mind We go blind deliberately, yet we stretch out our hands like we want something for free No more handouts till we learn to read between the lines Break out this prison if we really wanna free the mind Hook (×2): We just everyday people doing everyday sh** Everyday people doing everyday sh** Everyday people doing everyday sh** Everyday people doing everyday sh** Outro: When we don't fight back They take our souls How would you react If they came and stole - All your self-esteem? (uh) Would you know how to fight? So don't let them Get that far tonight... Mama Africa
