Back Stabbers

de Mtume

Why is life so hard for me
When others live in luxury?
Huh, I get fired and they get hired
At 21 I might as well be retired

Nuclear war right at my door
It makes me wonder what I'm living for
Because the Big Bomb is the real boss
While I'll be lost in the Holocaust

Waste billions of dollars every day
But people are starving a world away
Yes, the rich and famous, teeth in lies
While little babies are left to die

I won't stay cool, my mind's on hold
It's time to go all out, I just get off
You do anything, anything you please
Good God, I'm for deep freeze

The world spins a new sycophantion
Thinkin' minds search for a clue
Stop that social constipation
The plan divides me and you

They say rich get rich, you stay poor
Wonder what you're workin' for
Truth's on strike, overnight
Wrong is right, uptight

Deep freeze
Ha, ha-honey ho
Knocks me to my knees
It's a deep freeze, ooh!
Ha, ha-honey ho
Knocks me to my knees
Everybody say: Huh!

Well, we're in the Land of the Free, the Home of the Brave
But sometimes I still feel like a slave
My thoughts are in shackles, my mind's in chains
And sometimes I think I'll go insane

The American farmer can't even eat
'Cause the government say they can't sell his wheat
To the pimp, and they don't care
'Cause they trickling off millions everywhere

And listen here, for the elderly
Who are suffering in our society
The richest land that could ever be
But cat food is their delicacy!

On my radio, some other voice I hear
It's the same game, just a different name
On your MTV you make it very clear
Want R&B, but not from me (scram!)

Deep freeze
Ha, ha-honey ho
Knocks me to my knees
It's a deep freeze, ooh!
Ha, ha-honey ho
Knocks me to my knees
Everybody say: Huh!

People of the world, let's not fight
Let's get together and make it right
The time has come for all to see
That we can live in unity
