Lowkey - Soundtrack To The Struggle lyrics

[Intro: Lowkey] It's been a long time coming Too long Too long It's been in the making a quarter century But it's here now It's here now If by the time you hear this album I'm not here You know why [Chorus: Mavado] Tell ya, so mi say Too many suffering too many tears To see a youth die I'm a know him for years When me look around nobody care The people dem a live inna fear The system need to change right now To much you do could a inna grieve right now I know si the bigger is a give right now After ghetto people a no steep right now (Woo ooh! oi!) The system need to change right now To much you do could a inna grieve right now I know si the bigger is a give right now After ghetto people a no steep right now (Yeah yeah!) [Verse 1] My music is my natural resource, now I want it back Til I sever every single chain I will not relax Just constant attack, til my world looks like Monserrat Contact my comrades, for combat, what's conscious rap When you say the truth, they attack like a Saber-tooth Thinkin' clear they make you disappear like you hate the fruit We don't need more Boens, we don't need more Rebors, weed or Lyor Cohens They tell us about terrorism and tell us about terrorists Look up the definition and tell us what terror is Only know the definition if the television tells us it Public Enemy #1 they treat me like Professor Griff This album has been in the making a quarter century Born to bless the beat and rap over recorded melody I knew the truth since I was a small little boy I am a product of the system I was born to destroy [Chorus: Mavado] Me can't believe I saw dem cheat people And they fi protect and dem a leave people I me no si no system fi di street people Can't believe di money lead people The system need to change right now To much you do could a inna grieve right now I know si the bigger is a give right now After ghetto people a no steep right now (Woo ooh! oi!) The system need to change right now To much you do could a inna grieve right now I know si the bigger is a give right now After ghetto people a no steep right now (Yeah yeah!) [Verse 2] On the news, they glorify their own henchmen Support the troops, but won't mention Joe Glenton It's funny cause the rappers are posing as the gangsters While the government taking money as bonuses for bankers In life you learn, to close your eyes and hold your tongue But together we will overcome, there's never been a chosen one Still tryna understand, the land I stand on I'll probably die from cancer or [?] I will never give up, I will never just quit I will never give in, I will never submit The reason that I came, is bleeding from the veins Of the people cause we equal, only freedom is the aim This album has been in the making a quarter century Born to bless the beat and rap over recorded melody I knew the truth since I was a small little boy I am a product of the system I was born to destroy [Chorus: Mavado] Me can't believe I saw dem cheat people And they fi protect and dem a leave people I me no si no system fi di street people Can't believe di money lead people The system need to change right now To much you do could a inna grieve right now I know si the bigger is a give right now After ghetto people a no steep right now (Woo ooh! oi!) The system need to change right now To much you do could a inna grieve right now I know si the bigger is a give right now After ghetto people a no steep right now (Yeah yeah!) [Verse 3] If you're subordinate to corporate guys supplyin' you orders You're fighting fire with fire, I'm fighting fire with water When they k** me, I know I'll die with a focused mind Plus there'll be millions of me, ready to multiply Don't just mention, acknowledge me, remember to honor me My pen and this honesty, defendin' equality Declared a republic, and ended your monarchy Your corporate dictatorship, pretends it's democracy I hold your bloodline, accountable for every crime Adam Smith to Rothschild, it's all been a clever lie Two choices now, revolution or genocide But thanks to Rupert Murdoch neither one will be televised This album has been in the making a quarter century Born to bless the beat and rap over recorded melody I knew the truth since I was a small little boy I am a product of the system I was born to destroy [Chorus: Mavado] Me can't believe I saw dem cheat people And they fi protect and dem a leave people I me no si no system fi di street people Can't believe di money lead people The system need to change right now To much you do could a inna grieve right now I know si the bigger is a give right now After ghetto people a no steep right now (Woo ooh! oi!) The system need to change right now To much you do could a inna grieve right now I know si the bigger is a give right now After ghetto people a no steep right now (Yeah yeah!)
