We Don't Wanna Be
We don't wanna be we don't wanna be
You better duck press your luck
Time's up! Motha-
Alright let's get it one time let's split it
Too bluesy, black choosy
A drive-by means slow cruisin'
No 2s-in', it's been no shootin'
No proof and I i just got to breathe
Is someone watchin' me?!
Yeah, they gon' let me be
So they stop and they search for my ID
And did you even know we could change this?
Brothers really found me a racist
How'd you tell a man to behave
When you're pushing him around
On the pavement?
And did you even know we could change this?
Brothers really found me a racist
How'd you tell a man to behave
When you're pushing him around
On the pavement?
And even though these days they
Seem to haunt you
There's many more to change
And you try, and you try, and you try
We don't wanna be so we're not gonna be!
Retain my madness we don't wanna be insane
So we're not gonna be trapped by disaster
We don't wanna be contained
So we're not gonna be retained by madness
We don't wanna be insane
So we're not gonna be trapped by disaster
We don't wanna be!
I wonder why, buddy, what ya think of me?
Askin' me my name and arise to me
I got a bag on me and not a thing in it
But they understand, they can handle
I got the where I can be in hell free
Runnin' alley alley in the
Parley for pretendance
See see he pretendin' neva crowded
I ain't honest
First the TV was a problem
Now IP PC, I deem to solve it
Turn down the volume
No love, no hug, just thugs in armor
First the TV was a problem
Now IP PC, I deem to solve it
Turn down the volume
No love, no hug, just thugs in armor
And even though these days they
Seem to haunt you
There's many more to change
And you try, and you try, and you try
One time, they shootin', I make the books
I'm a slave to the page that the Times took
Babylon, how my mind shook
Made one false move
Got caught reaching for the wrong book
And that's just the way it's set up
They left us
Soon or late it ain't the best luck
It's messed up
We against the odds against us
In Babylon, talk back to my ancestor
Triple Great Gran, I can feel yo pain
Judged by your jewelry, walk with my chain
Judge Judy
Not one man should have that power
Even regular widow's official powder
Ain't no country for wise men
Every day I look up at this horror rising
Now the homies arriving
If it's all surprising
Maybe if we unified we could survive
We don't wanna be so we're not gonna be!
Retain my madness we don't wanna be insane
So we're not gonna be trapped by disaster
We don't wanna be contained
So we're not gonna be retained by madness
We don't wanna be insane
So we're not gonna be trapped by disaster
We don't wanna be!
Retain my madness, resort my sadness (insane)
Trapped by disaster, maintain the balance
(contain)
Retain my madness, resort my sadness (insane)
Trapped by disaster, maintain the balance
(contain)
Retain my madness, resort my sadness (insane)
Trapped by disaster, maintain the balance
(contain)
Retain my madness, resort my sadness (insane)
Trapped by disaster, maintain the balance
(contain) we don't wanna be
We not gonna be we don't wanna be
We not gonna be we don't wanna be
We not gonna be we don't wanna be
We not gonna be we don't wanna be
We not gonna be we don't wanna be
We not gonna be we don't wanna be
We not gonna be we don't wanna be
We not gonna be
