Iomos Marad - Answers lyrics

Iomos Marad ft. Quan (of The Mad Prophets) - “Answers (Mozaic Morning Mix)” {Emcee(s): Quan (of The Mad Prophets) and Iomos Marad} {Producer(s): Mighty Mozaic (AKA Mozaic (AGO))} {Verse 1: Quan (of The Mad Prophets)} Education, degrees, more diplomas But we still act ig’nant like we must be on something Political power, black mayors, black presidents We still mimic the oppressor caught up in embezzlements It’s evident that (“you ain’t got the answers!”) The world’s promises left us empty with our hands up There’s been a change-up since we got our change up Forgotten the struggle, now this New World’s changed us Now we atheists, cut-and-pasting the Lifestyle of the famous as if it pertains to us Certainly not the answer, but When tragedy is brandished, we’re like, “Lord, please handle this” With an*lysis, we know what the answer is Like our ancestors knew the Lord through the tragicness So we know we need to quit Trying to replace the Lord with Band-Aids and bandages ‘Cause… {Hook: Iomos Marad and (Sample)} (“You ain’t got the answers!”) We need to calm down (“You ain’t got the answers!”) We’re too emotional (“You ain’t got the answers!”) We talk and don’t listen (“You ain’t got the answers!”) Acting all irrational (“You ain’t got the answers!”) We wise in our own eyes (“You ain’t got the answers!”) Yo, we going the wrong way (“You ain’t got the answers!”) And we not God, so (“You ain’t got the answers!”) {Verse 2: Iomos Marad} Yeah, we losing vision and purpose for why we doing this It’s not for fame or the wealth, it’s just the opposite Instead of thinking communal, we’re thinking corporate A money-making machine is coming in between Cain and Abels enabling confrontation With no sight to see wasteful ambition I’ll tell you what though: (“You ain’t been doing the education!”) (“You trying to give me advice!”) Nah, I just think twice ‘Cause every move made comes at a higher price Like that label on your shirt (“It ain’t no Ralph though!”) Thinking you move the fattest, but you really move it slow We at the same pace when the race is eternal Man (“We all slaves!”) And the age of ego-tripping got us in a daze We’d rather blaze up to escape the maze “F God, man. Let’s give man the praise” {Hook: Iomos Marad and (Sample)} ‘Cause (“You ain’t got the answers!”) We need to calm down (“You ain’t got the answers!”) We’re too emotional (“You ain’t got the answers!”) We talk and don’t listen (“You ain’t got the answers!”) Acting all irrational (“You ain’t got the answers!”) We wise in our own eyes (“You ain’t got the answers!”) Yo, we going the wrong way (“You ain’t got the answers!”) And we not God, so (“You ain’t got the answers!”)
