lyrics

<Mother Tareka>
the crack of dawn smiles unrequited
the faces it hits are deeply disappointed
disappointment rampant like white collar crime
those crimes are undetectable by design
the design never meant to crush so many hopes
they evaporate and rain on newborns' coats
the infants can hardly trust adults
the grown have jobs in corporate cults
the cults sing harmony to honour the queen
on a paper she draws the life of her dreams
dreams gather dust on the king's throne
the throne's a deathtrap treason prone
treason left a note and abandoned the humble
who saw sunshine up through concrete rubble
the rubble which came from an unplanned metropolis
that fell in the hands and the will of those without a conscience

it's

just the way it goes
until the system's overthrown
just the way it goes
that's why we finna BLOW!

those without a conscience saw the signs of times changing
the change ensured that tradition kept fading
tradition memorized what humans couldn't scribe
the scribes were algorithms on how to survive
survival got mocked by lust and desire and
social Darwinists that rejected the messiahs
now He may have died for the sins of all
as they all watched amused and enthralled
the excitement there gave birth to religion
religion had faith but love went missing
love was unsure of how to defend its castle
now its people got locked up inside a mental strangle
their minds wrestled hard with the words of gods
that claimed to have invented man from mud
the soil bore fruit with a toxic tinge
'cause mankind went on a big pollution binge

it's

just the way it goes
until the system's overthrown
just the way it goes
that's why we finna BLOW

<Emay>
And it'll be overthrown
when people are standing over thrones
we're overdosing over overloads of Provolone
we're taught to leave the pro's alone in parliament
i've got to plead my prose alone as armament
doesn't seem to be harming it
disarming it
alarms are going off and every flag is red
our heads are in the dirt
we're waiting for that which hasn't happened yet
a massive step into the right direction
but the compass broke
and left us nothing slumped and lumping in these sunken boats
i dreamt I wrote a hundred flows
in a position i once opposed
antagonistic sprayed painting tagging misfit
mad intrinsic and simplistic
woke up and the dream had manifested
but the goons were even stronger
and infested man in respit seeking exit
ain't no peace of mind
that's why i give a piece of mine
and why i never preach to swine
or appease the crimes committed with impunity
i see the signs
the contract said to kill the system
i was pleased to sign
so please resign

<Mother Tareka>
just the way it goes
until the system's overthrown
just the way it goes
that's why we finna BLOW
