Get up today with red on your face
Fight down those that bet on the race
Some paid to keep the pace
While the element of peace is soon erased
I think I want to storm the gates
when I sit back and watch a dollar bill inflate
Instead of less, I've got more to hate,
but I keep on trucking with the motorcade
I aint nobody's fool
But I don't like playing by the rules
Can you dig it?
We all swim in a pool of emotion
And we're all going to sink down in it
When you drown, don't look down
All you can see is the darkness
You don't make a sound cause there's no one around
To hear the beat of your heart skip
Never pretend to be something you're not
Talk that s*** and you'll end up shot
Don't care about the money you've got
Soon this globe's gonna get real hot
Don't know how to make a change
but I'm not the first one to feel this way
I really want to try to sway
The population to a better way
I aint nobody's clown
With a smile painted on my face I can't frown (check it)
I hat waiting around for the brand new
So I'm gonna have to invent it
When the volcano erupts don't look up
All you can see is the ashes
So fill up my cup cause I want to be drunk
when they confiscate the federal stashes
When the volcano erupts don't look up
All you can see is the ashes
So fill up my cup cause I want to be drunk
when they confiscate the federal stashes
(Instrumental Bridge)
I aint nobody's tool
Sometimes I'm used to cut a slice of the pie
We all want to be cool
We're all out to get it what we want we can't decide
Fight down those that bet on the race
Some paid to keep the pace
While the element of peace is soon erased
I think I want to storm the gates
when I sit back and watch a dollar bill inflate
Instead of less, I've got more to hate,
but I keep on trucking with the motorcade
I aint nobody's fool
But I don't like playing by the rules
Can you dig it?
We all swim in a pool of emotion
And we're all going to sink down in it
When you drown, don't look down
