Speech Debelle - Problem lyrics
Listen! Listen! Old school new school depends on the mirror I rhyme about the times when the youts are popping pillas Miniature shotta mini rockers Ain't gotta lot of height but heart he got a lotta Dads are never there, nobody really cares Cause we got used to it like perm in black hair So under the carpet is where it lives Along with the fiddlers, politicians and them other miscreants I have a common sense for world's events So when I hear it on the news I try and an*lyze the views The pudding is the proof that's why they looking sick looking malnourished They should have never listened to it Switch it off get it out like unruly kids That's why I was suspended from it I was never in it If they invented it never for your development If you can't recognize it then you irrelevant Me and my people live in tenement yards And since they're too watchy watchy we have to draw card Duppy let go of my hand for this conundrum Is gonna get me in trouble like what bam bam And they don't know the half of it I shook hands with the worry man so it's pure worry man So I'm doing it like it's my last album Nothing is guaranteed so watch the outcome I doubt we out with them we never roll wid dem Never catch me chilling with the other villains I prefer the ones who do it out of need rather the greed Know what I mean I recognize the pain and the will And ovastand that it's a sh*tty deal But hey blood whatever we keep it real Giving it to em until they will – listen I know they think that we're dumb – listen They better know I ain't the one – listen I don't believe what they say – listen Can't you tell I don't play – listen And they can say what they like – listen Hide the facts with their lies – listen But if you feel it in your heart - listen When they say that you can't Every day we try to find a way To get it together, to get it together They better be afraid of what we got to say Cause we be get it together Hey, it's a problem hey, it's a problem We glorify and glamorize the popular The popular ting can get you kind of popping He be saying nothing, she showing it all Lyrics cut through nothing them fools with blunted tools Certain songs I can't mess wid Cause the science in the sound got me screwing up my brow I'm not sure how but I trust my own instincts Cause as long as I'm here but spirit never extinct So instinctively I push from the pagans Kinda like a doctor prescription Cause all I need to do is boost the melanin Just give me some sunshine and good food the elements It's pretty much becoming prevalent That these people are pretending that they are saying something When they ain't sayin' nothing at all From the window to the wall We evoke greatness till 20 ft. tall I caught the feeling, caught the spirit, caught the vibe We must awake the spirit so it comes alight I never think I never tell no lies What's done in the dark will come to the light So keep your stories, I am not a child I'm big grown woman with a big grown life While they're pissing on kids and beating up their wives I talk about the mother that s**ing on the pipes I talk about the kids with no voice out of sight Running a fire to the power of the night I ain't got time, I'm trying to do it all tonight I'm listening to Pac, thinking least the brother tried I recognize the pain and the will And ovastand that it's a sh*tty deal But hey blood whatever we keep it real Giving it to em until they will – listen I know they think that we're dumb – listen They better know I ain't the one – listen I don't believe what they say – listen Can't you tell I don't play – listen And they can say what they like – listen Hide the facts with their lies – listen But if you feel it in your heart - listen When they say that you can't [x2] Every day we try to find a way To get it together, to get it together They better be afraid of what we got to say Cause we be get it together Hey, it's a problem hey, it's a problem
