Intro 1
Em
Forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those
Em
that trespass against us
Although them again
we will never never never trust
Em
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Them not know what them do
Em
Big out to yi while I'm stickin' like glue
Fling skin grin while them plotting for you,

Verse 2
Em
Why every Indian want to be the chief?
Feed a man 'til he full and he still want beef
Em
Give me grief, try to tief off my piece
Why for you to increase, I must decrease?
Em
If I treat you kindly,
does it mean that I'm weak?
You hear me speak
and think I won't take it to the streets
Em
I know enough cats
that don't turn the other cheek
But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik
Em
And other African czars,
observing stars with war scars
Get yours in this capitalistic system
Em
So many caught or got bought
you can't list them
How you gonna idolize the missing?
To survive is to stay alive
Em
in the face of opposition
Even when they comin', gunnin'
I stand position
Em
L's known the mission since conception
Let's free the people from deception
If you looking for the answers
then you gotta ask the questions
Em
And when I let go,
my voice echoes through the ghetto
Sick of men trying to pull strings like Geppetto
Em
Why black people
always be the ones to settle?
Pre-chorus 2
March through these streets like Soweto, uh
G
Like Cain and Abel,
D
Caesar and Brutus

Jesus and Judas, backstabbers

Wolves in sheep coats

Men who lack conscience
C
will even lie to themselves
Bm
To themselves
Pre-chorus 3
C
Em
C
A friend once said, and I found to be true
Em
