Sabzi - Life and Debt lyrics

I like, making you so happy! Yo, life and debt, light a cigarette smoke the stress Take a deep breath baby, let's rearrange the mess we've inherited Alienated from what is rightfully yours and mine Land is life, money is time Paid for labor Working eight to five, sometimes six seven eight We come home and barely know the neighbors Bills are usually late Interest accumulates at a usury rate Collection agency waits from Pay check to next one, budget like a noose Working while we sing the proletariat blues On 501-C3 community plantations Non profit sector propped up to k** the movement For the changes in production relations But woman you're my comrade, ride and die, revolution-making mother earth Standing with me in the grocery line While I'm paying with a jar of pennies, nickels, and dimes And I love how you don't like art without a message I love it how you call some fellas on they fetish Third world sister, never sacrificing substance for style But stylish with a golden type smile I love it how you organize with other strong sisters Love it how you talk about tearing down the system Like a soldier, my dialectical reflection "Yes" is the answer to your question Life and debt, write another check to the landlord No time to dwell on all the things we can't afford Got a baby in the womb, a soldier for the future that we're fighting for Concrete conditions that I'm writin for The payback, it's way past due And they say that the ma**es ain't ready but We know that ain't true You and I both children of Filipino immigrants From the same island, our ancestors smiling Cuz we found one another in a strange land struggling Moms tryin' to tell us not to protest instead pray for peace But that ain't the nature of the beast So lady grab the bullhorn and take it to the streets Yellin power to the people, el pueblo unido jamas sera vencido Til the wealth is spread equal You 21st century Gabriela Silang Fierce like Lorena with a rifle in her arms And I love how you love the people as much as self I love it how you want redistribution of the wealth Third world sister, never sacrificing substance for style But stylish with a golden type smile I love it how you organize with other strong sisters Love it how you talk about tearing down the system Like a soldier, my dialectical reflection "Yes" is the answer to your question Life and debt I like, making you so happy! I like, making you so happy! I like, making you so happy! Cuz making you so happy makes me happy too!
