Shing02 - One People lyrics
[Verse 1: Shing02] One People People call us naive, backwards petwater bottle rocket science March with them picket signs made of pizza boxes Oxytocin intoxins Drum circle live from zuccotti park to the port of oakland Where did they come from, comfort of their homes Take it to the red zone, rubber bullet to the dome s**ers spying the web like they used to tap phones Hellfire missiles dropped by predator drones 700 billion a year for defense huh More like offensive on the 99 percent that Still shop at stores named 99cents So I'llchip in my two for the popular dissent [Hook] For the people For the people For the people One people This one's for For the people For the people For the people One people [Verse 2: Shing02] I Get off the couch to the parade to the general a**embly Springing up like bamboo shoots in monsoons Fooled once, duped twice, bamboozled for strikes It'stime for your conscience to put up a fight Motherhuggers,real lovers know what it's worth, yes Price tags can't have enough zeroes to purchase Every little thing that you can bake in your pie You can try to divide but impossible like pi Occupy this speech, besieged Land property seized improperly You can break the monotony Bored of living on a board of monopoly This game of life is still odd to me A dream is a lot less brighter than it ought to be Poverty spread like a tumor on top of the Average income pulling household economy Taxed out the gate, gotta topple the authority Truth almighty on this side of the barricade Doesn't matter which one us you interrogate Wanna bet what changed since the watergate Juliet told Romeo to serenade [Hook] For the people For the people For the people One people This song's for For the people For the people For the people One people [Verse 3: Shing02] So my power point being are we ever gonna have Peace of mind, body, and soul Not likely if remotely controlled by the psyche of the flag Shipping off labors and disturbing our neighbors Distributing rations of irrational behavior Trapped in an orthodox, looking for a savior He ain't second coming when u guessing his name Xavier ona**is, minute hour day month year time elapses Neuron fire lapses The war intensifies overseas white lies Life of a bu*terfly, better yet a sacrifice lamb burger Lettuce and tomato on top with the curly fries Hot sauce burn your upper lip Truth makes you bite your tongue Here's a serum take a sip Real activists show more heart than a click of a hactivist Who cares about evidence of relevance Self-governance or face detriment Let freedom ring Tahrir to Tiananmen So would you keep mum when they hush Or would you paint your own picture with a brush So would you keep dumb when they crush When your bu*ton is pushed [Hook] By the people By the people By the people One people This one's for For the people For the people For the people For the people One people
