The Rook - Dem Crazy lyrics

[Intro] [stic.man] The police is the enemy [Hook One – stic.man] Everywhere the white man go, he bring misery All throughout history—look it up Everything them bald heads touch, they f** it up Every government he set up, it be corrupt [Stephen Marley] Revolution [stic.man] Dead prez, People Army, Steve Marley, Ghetto Youth Crew [Verse 1 – stic.man] What you know is who you are—who are you? Do you know who you are in the world? What is your world view? What do you go through? What has your life shown you? What are you learnin' in this so called life? Do you have principle or do you blow with the wind? Do you wanna be free but don't know where to begin? Do you know your enemy from your friend? Even your kin is deeper than skin—it's the system they keepin' us in Will we survive? Do you believe? Are we afraid? Would you rather have control of your life or be a slave? Show me a sign. A pig ain't no homey of mine They own me what's mine—I'll show you if you loan me your nine I'm only concerned for tables to turn When the people learn the truth about the system, the cities will burn And I stand firm, like Shaka Zulu These crackers can't stop uhuru [Hook Two – Stephen Marley] Dem crazy, Dem crazy Dem crazy, Dem crazy Chase those crazy bald heads right out of town [Verse 2 – M-1] This is what we be waitin' for? 21st century, still poor World war, they want me to k** for What happened to the future they always predicted? With new science fictional things and space visits I've seen two sides—us against them Police troops ride with four to five men Prison businesses boomin', senators grin People searchin' for answers. Where to begin? Capitalism born from the backs of blacks White folks relax, live off the kick backs Gettin' worked to the bone, yo, build this country Further exploited by cla** to make money Filthy rich capitalist with blood loot Use main frames systems to bank and compute With the next technology, credit through the wires Internet growth demand more suppliers Welfare, elderly checks, and wage workers All us, elephants trapped in they circus Ain't fightin' over manmade chips no more When the lights go out, it's gon' belong to the poor [Hook Two – Stephen Marley] Dem crazy, Dem crazy Dem crazy, Dem crazy Chase those crazy bald heads right out of town [stic.man] Everything you got is what you took from me Conditions on my block, just like we in slavery Everything you got is what you took from me Conditions on my block, just like we in slavery [Stephen Marley] (*Ad-Libs*) I'm feelin', oh, what I feel [Hook One – stic.man] Everywhere the white man go, he bring misery All throughout history—you can look it up Everything them bald heads touch, they f** it up Every government he set up, it be corrupt [stic.man] Where the soldiers at? Where the warriors at? Where the riders at? Where them fighters at? Where the soldiers at? Where the warriors at? Where the riders at? Freedom fighters at? [Stephen Marley] Soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionary True soldiers don't die. Long live all legends: Nat Turner, Malcolm X…
