[Chorus: Why Why Peaches]
|
We could sit around and talk for days
|
'Bout all the things that we would change
|
But we never thought, never thought that we were slaves
|
|
[Kano:]
|
Uh, run away run away underground deep
|
Release me from these shackles around feet.
|
Old masters they don't own me
|
Treat artists like sheep by they don't know me
|
Rap star, rap star have you any tunes?
|
Yes sir, yes sir, 3 disks full
|
One for the radio and one for the states and one for my peoples who live down the lane
|
Can't fool me boom free MIA
|
But kill us over time, Ali Boombaye
|
Puppets on the string, insignificant
|
As people we've come a long way but we don't act different
|
Money makes the world go round, dead presidents
|
Summit like a spoon full of sugar to the medicine
|
Necessary evil, slave to the sterling
|
They run the world that we all just work in.
|
|
[Chorus x2: Why Why Peaches]
|
|
[Kano:]
|
Look, pawns in the game but we don't make the checkmate
|
Front line of defence, that's the modern day slave
|
Used for consumerism so we get paid
|
And give it straight back that's the boomerang play
|
Win-win for them, c'mon folk lose-lose
|
Programmed like robots, do what we're told to
|
Aha, the whole worlds singing
|
The same song, but changes? Ain't makin' them
|
Brake slips blingin', gold chains swingin'
|
Face tattooed up - Lil' Wayne tears drippin'
|
Still in prison in this world we live in
|
So wade in the water children
|
No master
|
Escapism through music, with no capture
|
Accept the moment, 'cause I'll be on a prince protest
|
Before I become a slave to the game bro'
|
I'll be the artist formally known as Kano.
|
|
[Why Why Peaches:]
|
After listening to the preacher
|
It seems that all the others teach us
|
Is how to fear
|
And fear it all
|
Till you feel/fear [?]
|
|
We could sit around and talk for days
|
'Bout all the things that we would change
|
But we never thought, never thought that we were slaves
|
|
We could sit around and talk for days
|
'Bout all the things that we would change
|
But we never thought (never thought),
|
never thought (never thought)
|
that we were slaves (that we were the slaves).
