The Problem

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 analyze 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 sucking 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

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
