O'hene Savant - Burn In The River lyrics

Hook: Burn in the river, bathe in the flame I burn in the river, bathe in the flame Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame I burn in the river, bathe in the flame Burn in the river, bathe in the flame I burn in the river, bathe in the flame Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame I burn in the river, bathe in the flame Verse 1: Watchin' the news and all I see is k**in' They got our children idolizing villains We tell ‘em education is the way And all the while our teachers barely gettin' paid We sit and pray while they plot and scheme Create the world while we watch and dream Talkin' ‘bout Illuminati on the net But it's gone and dead if it's on the web Prices on my head ‘cause of what I read Some of us shall lead, some of us are led Some are bustin' lead to crucify the truth If all of us are thugs, who supply the youth? As I rebuke the devil vocally My poetry'll touch somebody hopefully This wisdom that I'm giving more than just a rhythm Penetrate their hearts and reside within ‘em ‘cause if it hit ‘em then they'll taste the pain That'll be the day that they embrace the rain Burn in the river, bathe in the flame 'til our pleasure is our pain, once again Hook: Burn in the river, bathe in the flame I burn in the river, bathe in the flame Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame I burn in the river, bathe in the flame Burn in the river, bathe in the flame

I burn in the river, bathe in the flame Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame I burn in the river, bathe in the flame Verse 2: Poor are gettin' poorer, rich are gettin' richer Listenin' to rap you get a different picture In a recession yet they pourin' liquor On sistahs, one day karma's gon' getcha And while hip hoppers argue and they bicker Racists makin' Barack pictures look like Hitler Labeled a socialist from outta Kenya They called him everything except for n*gga They have the people votin' against their interest To sell their books and their agendas And they're offended by what time has done Gotta deal with now, can't rewind it son The time has come for true democracy So through the internet the youth can watch and read We ask for more than you decide to stream Children bring your cups, the truth's inside the stream I still believe that one day we will see That all of our divisions really needn't be So will you burn in the freakin' sea As I bathe in the f-l-a-m-e Hook: Burn in the river, bathe in the flame I burn in the river, bathe in the flame Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame I burn in the river, bathe in the flame Burn in the river, bathe in the flame I burn in the river, bathe in the flame Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame I burn in the river, bathe in the flame
