Текст песни Dem Dead - Shake , Ralphy River , Phi , 070

The system deyah fi hol we
But all dem a try, dem a try and a try
Dem can't stop the youths dem shine, no
Every ghetto youth fi a rise
And every ghetto youth fi a strive
Dem want stop wi made
But listen weh wi tell dem
Yeah, mi say the boy dem dead
The boy dem dead
Mi say the boy dem, mi say the boy dem
Mi say the boy dem dead
Dem dead
The boy dem dead
Dem want fi wi life fi end

Ain't nothing given or handed out
Shit don't grow on trees until you branching out
I remember cops coming tryna scan the house
But no worries, yeah, no worries, all the grams is out
Remember back in the days when I had grandma 'round
She made me do my homework before stepping out
That's why I'm out in the town making it happen
I do this for the love and I love a hater's reaction, yeah
Ain't no way that you can tell me I ain't shit
Been through trials and tribulations as a youngin', I ain't quit
All the problems I was faced with
I'm still breathing and alive though
070 Like the '97 Chicago
It's getting spooky for them niggas on the other side
All the magic you could get couldn't fuck with mine
Tell them that we really in it for the rings
Man, my niggas, we ain't worried 'bout a ting
Leave them boys dead

The system deyah fi hol we
But all dem a try, dem a try and a try
Dem can't stop the youths dem shine, no
Every ghetto youth fi a rise
And every ghetto youth fi a strive
Dem want stop wi made
But listen weh wi tell dem
Yeah, mi say the boy dem dead
The boy dem dead
Mi say the boy dem, mi say the boy dem
Mi say the boy dem dead
Dem dead
The boy dem dead
Dem want fi wi life fi end

Mind over matter is hard when your mind is scattered
You can only find what you lose, it's a new chapter
Adapted a new adapter, people asking what happened
I'm just fed up with the lying and all the acting
But I'll be good, I'll be good as long as Shake is here
We inhaled all the lines written by Shakespeare
Catch me if you can, I'm the gingerbread man
This nigga hit another note, I'll leave the singer dead, man
Home is where my head is at, that's where the bread is at
But baby, I can't do this anymore, that's why I left it at
But if you say the word, I'll be there for you, for real
Mr. Caught Up In The Moment, we turned down the first deal
And I've been out of touch for a minute
Everything that's close to me's been at a distance
They didn't know that Ralphy River existed
This mind and body is super different, c'mon

The system deyah fi hol we
But all dem a try, dem a try and a try
Dem can't stop the youths dem shine, no
Every ghetto youth fi a rise
And every ghetto youth fi a strive
Dem want stop wi made
But listen weh mi tell dem
Yeah, mi say the boy dem dead
The boy dem dead
Mi say the boy dem dead
The boy dem dead
The boy dem dead
Mi say the boy dem dead
Mi say the boy dem dead
Dem dead
The boy dem dead
Dem want fi wi life fi end

Coming, coming, coming for you
For you, for you, yeah
I'm running, running, running with the youth
With the youth, and we don't give a fuck if we lose
Better bury us with the truth
Die for the things I gotta prove
Conscious, just be conscious
If you let 'em, they gon' turn you to a monster, yeah
And we gon' have you begging for some freedom
And I'm betting on my people
And we don't give a fuck if it's illegal
We gon' have you running from the reaper
Baby, say it louder if you need to
Couple hundred voices so lethal

The way the world works now
You have to be wealthy in order to live healthy
The way the world works now
You have to pay for knowledge in order to be considered smart
But Ralphi said, "Who teaches those who think outside the box?"
Where's the school for those who do not want to go to school?
How do you keep safe those who do not believe in authority?
How does one who is never understood get to ventilate?
How do you fill the void but not know what's missing?
How do the original protect themselves in a world of angry imitation?
Tell me when
When will curiosity be safe again?
Tell me when
Fuck you, fuck you
It's our time now
