[Verse 1]
I could give a fuck about a honest day's work
Your weapons ain't defense, you ain't shopping God's work
Every penny earned's getting spent on more wars
Sweat and blood with a tax just to live on planet Earth
[Verse 2]
I could give a fuck about a honest day's work
Your weapons ain't defense, you ain't shopping God's work
Every penny earned is getting spent on more wars
Sweat and blood for the tax just to live on planet Earth
[Verse 3]
Welcome to the L, it's peak in these boroughs
Police run among us, this greed in deep cover
They see more of us shift in mad numbers
So they breach more of us, quick to handcuff us
Gettin' hassled by cops is caution on the block
Followed round the shops, they're watching round the clock
Thought man was on a shot, that's not even a shop
When your view of our lot is rotten from the top downwards
[Verse 4]
I tend to speak the mess I see and this is a disorder
Never been no better sheep to lead to the slaughter
I dare believe a better dream, let's lift up the borders
In memory of refugees that slipped in the waters
What tabloids radicalize
And strategize to separate with bad advice
I bury those in stereo while they stereotype
The profile of one ready to fight
[Verse 5]
I could give a fuck about a honest day's work
Your weapons ain't defense, you ain't shopping God's work
Every penny earned's getting spent on more wars
Sweat and blood with a tax just to live on planet Earth
[Verse 6]
I could give a fuck about a honest day's work
Your weapons ain't defense, you ain't shopping God's work
Every penny earned is getting spent on more wars
Sweat and blood are the tax just to live on planet Earth
[Verse 7]
I could give a fuck about a nine to five
Operation 24-7, I got plenty more to do
I was destitute, now I'm destined for the booth
You could get beheaded just for questin' for the truth
Or get the leather boot from those terrorists in blue
Maybe get a death sentence from oppressors in a suit
Why am I a oppressed for simply mentioning my views?
'Cause they were telling me the truth
When I second guessed the news like
[Verse 8]
What the fuck is this on my TV?
All I hear is lies coming from these debriefs
Why they spending all this time going after Greenpeace
When the catch is at the top, but they blamin' these streets?
[Verse 9]
Fam, I'm yelling black lives matter
If all lives did, then why this black child battered?
Why this black mind splatted on the pavement, no recourse?
Shout to Kaepernicks, sacrifice, open discourse
[Verse 10]
I could give a fuck about a honest day's work
Your weapons ain't defense, you ain't shopping God's work
Every penny earned's getting spent on more wars
Sweat and blood with a tax just to live on planet Earth
[Verse 11]
I could give a fuck about a honest day's work
Your weapons ain't defense, you ain't shopping God's work
Every penny earned is getting spent on more wars
Sweat and blood for the tax just to live on planet Earth
