Marcel Cartier - 99 to 1 lyrics

[Hook x2] The change in the air, I know you can feel it And occupy the hood, liberate your spirit The people united will never be defeated Brand new society you know that we need it [Verse 1 : Marcel Cartier] They said we were pa**ive, said we ain't care They thought we were cool with this state of affairs But little did they know, we would rise from sleep No longer subservient within this beast A tiny minority controls our lives That's why the people now screaming "Occupy!" The fight is for genuine democracy For workers and all to at last be free They tell this is ablation of freedom But that contradicts everything that I'm seeing And that's why I'm speaking and why I fight To extend and achieve our most basic rights The rulers are scared of our organization Respond with the police brutalization But in the long run they cannot suppress When millions are out and fight for justice! [Hook x2] Some people say that the change will never come But what if revolution's already begun? We refuse any longer to live in these slums And we outnumber them 99 to 1 [Verse 2 : Marcel Cartier] Yo! A much better world that's potential to grow Right now what we're seeing is the embryo We got every single right to rise on up These criminal billionaires' time is up! Our strength is in numbers across the country No longer should any of us go hungry Or be unemployed with a college degree Matter of fact, shouldn't education be free? Isn't that a most basic human right? Why I really gotta choose between food and a life? Why I really gotta stress about my doctor bills When I know my tax dollars are going to k** Or go to a bankers' private account Got a whole system that needs to be extort We will occupy together New-York to LA And we will set forth and see a much brighter day [Hook x2] Some people say that the change will never come But what if revolution's already begun? We refuse any longer to live in these slums And we outnumber them 99 to 1
