WORDS CAME AFTER WATCHING A LOT OF NEWS AND POLITICAL DOCUMENTARIES. PUT OUR FRUSTRATIONS INTO A LYRICAL EXPRESSION.
lyrics
SOUNDS LIKE A DISEASE
You know we got to fight to unite
Otherwise say good night, that’s right
No more bullshit from here on out, no doubt
Finding out what it’s all about
You got the covetous spread out amongst us
But the numbers are few,
So what we gonna do?
Tell ‘em: We had enough of you.
We aren’t taking your lies no more
The time has come, we’re gonna settle the score,
And we’re not gonna fight your war.
Hungry spirits got it all and they still want more
They make it sound like it’s knocking at our front door
But they’re really at the back,
Walking out with our stack.
Never did a hard day in their whole life
Not an ounce of strife
Wouldn’t want to be in their afterlife
God forbid
Look what they did
They ran a hit
____________
Well the time has come
For our nation
To rise like the sun
To be the one
To set it all off
Get ‘em all going right
You know---knock ‘em all outta sight
Make them feel the tightness of our communities
Before they do more to pollute our seas
And our cities
With their lies
That I despise
Time for the people to rise.
