Them Dead
Di system they haffi
But all dem af try, dem ah try and h try
Dem can't stop di youts dem shine, no
Every ghetto yout fi a rise
And every ghetto yout fi a strive
Dem want stop wi made
But listen what mi tell dem, yeah
Mi said di boi dem dead
Di boi dem dead (mi said di boi dem, mi said di boi dem)
Mi said di boi dem dead
Dem dead, di boi dem dead
Dem want fi wi life fi end
Ain't nothin' given or handed out
Shit don't grow on trees until you branchin' out
I remember cops comin' tryin' to scan the house
But no worries, yeah, no worries - all the grams is out
Remember back in the days when I had grandma 'round
She made me do my homework before steppin' out
That's why I'm out in the town makin' it happen
I do this for the love and I love a hater's reaction, yeah
Ain't no way that you can tell me I ain't shit
Been through trials and tribulations as young and I ain't quit
All the problems I was facin'
I'm still breathin' and alive, though
070 like the '97 Chicago
It's gettin' spooky for them niggas on the other side
All the magic you could get couldn't fuck with mine
Tell 'em that we really in it for the rings
Man, my niggas we ain't worried 'bout a ting
Leave them boys dead
Di system they haffi
But all dem af try, dem ah try and h try
Dem can't stop di youts dem shine, no
Every ghetto yout fi a rise
And every ghetto yout fi a strive
Dem want stop wi made
But listen what mi tell dem, yeah
Mi said di boi dem dead
Di boi dem dead (mi said di boi dem, mi said di boi dem)
Mi said di boi dem dead
Dem dead, di boi dem dead
Dem want fi wi life fi end
Mind over matter is hard when your mind is scattered
You can only find what you lose
It's a new chapter, adapted a new adapter
People askin', "what happened?"
I'm just fed up with lyin' and all the actin'
But, I'll be good, I'll be good as long as Shake is here
We inheld all the lines written by Shakespeare
Catch me if you can, I'm the gingerbread man
This nigga hit another note I'll leave the singer dead, man
Home is where my head is at, that's where the bread is at
But, baby, I can't do this anymore, that's where I left it at
But if you say the word I'll be there with you, for real
Mr. caught up in the moment, we turned down the first deal
And I've been out of touch for a minute
Everything that's close to me has been at a distance
They didn't know that Ralphy River existed
This mind and body is super different, c'mon
Di system they haffi
But all dem af try, dem ah try and h try
Dem can't stop di youts dem shine, no
Every ghetto yout fi a rise
And every ghetto yout fi a strive
Dem want stop wi made
But listen what mi tell dem, yeah
Mi said di boi dem dead
Di boi dem dead (mi said di boi dem, mi said di boi dem)
Mi said di boi dem dead
Dem dead, di boi dem dead
Dem want fi wi life fi end
Comin', comin', comin' for you, for you, for you, yeah
Runnin', runnin', runnin' with the youth, with the youth
And we don't give a fuck if we lose
Better bury us with the truth
Ride for the things I gotta prove
Conscious just be conscious
If you let 'em they gon' turn you to a monster
And we gon' have you begging for some freedom
And I'm betting on my people
And we don't give a fuck if it's illegal
We gon' have you running from the reaper
Baby, say it louder if you need to
Couple hundred voices, so lethal
The way the world works now, you have to be wealthy in order to live healthy
The way the world works now, you have to pay for knowledge in order to be considered smart
But Ralphi said, "who teaches those who think outside the box?
Where's the school for those who do not want to go to school?
How do you keep safe those who do not believe in authority?
How does one who is never understood get to ventilate?
How do you fill the void but not know what's missing?
How do the original protect themselves in a world of angry imitation"
Tell me when, when will curiosity be safe again?
Tell me when!
F*** you.. fuck you, it's our time now!
