Divided

lyrics

Sending the messages on the line

It’s better we multiply the might

Shooting the luckiest strike

Coming together aight

Beat a lil headstrong hyena that’s caught up in his pride

Long as they know that the boundary well defined

Laughing but I got the tigers eye

Imma spot all of the signs

The verbals is legally binding

Word to moms I ain’t lying

They swearing oath on assignment

Palm to the good book still didn’t know what’s inside it

They only told pieces these just bits thats provided

Toting the pieces 45 and a 22 with ammo inside it

Looked for his enemies he couldn’t find them

Left behind what hidden in between the lines and under the fine print

Obvious how much they’d rather keep us all divided

Feeding us the crumbs until our bodies and minds sick

Home sittin getting island visions now you’re vomiting their propositions

Quote this so scripted what’s the sense signing for loans when you can buy interest

If dollars and cents ain’t coming back home then you better buy different

Maybe you’ll find different

That’s just the nature of contemplating the sciences


Divided

Divided



Babylon attempt to tame our leader

Kush and to Kemet we have de ancient healers

Jah protect you affi praise him selah

You come fi war we come fi take no prisoners

It’s easy to figure that you should expect less from a figurehead

Nominees similar to marionettes controlled by the strings instead playing the defense for the people they represent

Standing in the place like the letter X

At the intersection holding signs with the message

But they don’t comprehend our dialect

Cant collect the change cuz the telephone lines dead

Oh look here the comes the puppet telling lies again

Insisting on an agenda I am not convinced of

Years of indifference that’s the long division

The foods free I only need a piece of your soul

If you’ll feast on it then the more I control

Double tax the garden and the seeds to grow

I’ll trade it for your autonomy on a lease to own


Birds fly outside my window I just never see em till the sun rise

Ain’t cutting pie right shorting the team tryna keep a bigger slice

Pig is out on a weeknight got some they got some bars they tryna lock us all behind

On the beat and infringing on rights the remainder gone be their demise
