Santigold - Shove It lyrics

Brooklyn we go hard We on the look for the advantage, we work hard And if we seem to rough it up a bit We broke but we rich at heart Pull ourselves up now we won't choke It's our time, put the lights on us War tactics, they make me sick Reel your heart in, run away with it Smile in your face, undermine your back Got guns for the strength they lack So if you know another way You can't look the other way You know another way, Tell them so right to their face We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine I pay for what's called Eccentricity and my wish to evolve I hear them all say That I got heart but not everything that it takes Taint my mind but not my soul Tell you I got fire I won't sell it for no payroll Let 'em hold me down I know if I know another way I can't look the other way I know another way I'll tell them so right to their face We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine [Spank Rock:] Entirely, totally, bring it all together, I want everything. If it's in, this feels like hot gossip...doesn't mean that we can be poor folks waiting on a trickle with your hands out. I got a life that you can call it luck Because it wasn't due to you don't mean I ain't paying dues, you stupid f**. I'm ...things that you can't. Just know I'm doing something you ain't simple and plain. We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine We think you're a joke Shove your hope where it don't shine
