AceKeyz - Vanity lyrics
New Gen Acekeyz [Verse 1: Happy Joe] Vanity vanity Everything is damaging We either planing a salary Or imagining a famished dream We training to slave Never ever taught to manage things We Weighing up scales Never ever taught of balancing Our drug dealers Are mathematicians It's crack But business They living With vision They making the most But you wanna k** him Cause he came from the coast He came from the boat From middle pa**age To living lavish You wanna cap it Cause you don't control And We don't consult you And we don't revolt But you wanna boast You want the roast, you want the toast You want us skinny skinny skinny skinny Skin to the bone You wanna eat You want us bleeding You wanna feed us You wanna keep us From ever ever going back home So you degrade my perception And make me resent my tone You make me resent my relatives Make me hang up the phone [Hook: Happy Joe] Oh this United, divided kingdom Happy Joe Kicking and screaming you bring him You even Try blind me With bright lights Though songs of truth I'm eternally singing Oh this United, divided kingdom Happy Joe Kicking and screaming you bring him You even try and advertise your lies You sold me dreams And yes I buy [Pre-Verse: Happy Joe] Apathy Apathy You know the code I roll on my soles You sold your souls And you grow in a mould You flow the flow Oh you walk the walk And you talk the talk But it's different for you Cause this nation taught it It's bait We Big fish And this nation caught it Hate This grey ditch This weathers appalling Great! A grey switch But the rain is pouring [Verse 2: Happy Joe] Vanity vanity I could die or buy Strive or lie Visions of a diamond mind I try to rise Outcomes very Different Cause they blind our eyes Money over wealth No Time for time Time to climb It's time to rise No blocking out pain No stockings from satan No watches no chains I'm oh so chained But I know I can change Cause This the new generation They can choose me I'm patient In the booth no complaining No more roots in my brain They re-rooted my brain Oh it's stupid insane They can boot me, Why stay? We can choose how we play I should've known today I get blown away I mean what could I say If they intruded my place I mean what would you say Nah what would you say? If you were taken from your house And thrown away To this Hook: Happy Joe] Oh so United, divided kingdom Happy Joe Kicking and screaming you bring him You even try and advertise your lies You sold me dreams And yes I buy [Verse 3: Happy Joe] Bring me back to the jungle Take me back to my tribe Oh they strip me of dignity Take me back to my pride Take me back I'm a lion Take me back to unite Africa is a rock Africa where I thrive Still no opportunity Still lacking in unity Still evident greed Still eyes No scrutiny I ask you on question What can you do for me Riches of money and Gold Are Of No use to me A suited man I don't choose to be A proven plan I know you pick me I don't choose to see How I used to see And you bruising me So I loose my seat Of authority Ooh It's mockery Ooh Hypocrisy deep within democracy Baba baba I'm so lost I wanna make it to the mountains But not at their cost Oh this United, divided kingdom Happy Joe Kicking and screaming you bring him You even try and advertise your lies You sold me dreams And yes I buy (Keep it rolling) Let me flee Let me leave Oh I plea I need trees X3 But if I leave Then I leave you all with these
