So the question is Do you got it Or do it got you Let's go let's go
I'm feelin' so live because I'm so alive I just got back from Zion and felt the soul fire I say we take the city and never give it back Still forward march attack this time on dirty track I got this feeling something's gonna erupt So I'm calling all my people to a company front We're gonna bring a new perspective to your cerebellum Penetrating all borders we don't care where you from While everybody's in pursuit of juice and new stuff I see them thanks spinning your grinning your crew - what It seems apparent that shorties missing their parents And they're bringing them in in flocks to morgues and cell blocks see You live then you die then it's off the planet So why we all in panic take breath we breathe for granted I say we take it back to the place Where life is more than chasing groupies and cake
So we can sing it from the mountain top (yaaaa) What you gonna do if they come for you tonight Why you standing outside in the pouring rain Let's do away with the ball and chains My people sing it from the mountain top like (yaaa) What you gonna do if they come for you tonight While the rest of the world is going insane We do away with the ball and chains
Turn me up a little louder Sound man come light up the sound board Jah people let me hear you holla Yell redemption for all the people Now I'm just a simple man with various limitations Looking for truth in a complex situation Cause when that baby's crying you got to handle that Get your paper stack your stacks Cause we ain't got no time for lacks Keeping in mind time is passing See some times what we're hustling for Leave us stuck in the mud Like cruising along in your new speed boat Back at the dock hello Mr. Repo So all my peoples stand up If you're feeling the tug inside your inner man Just understand you got to get those hands up It's time to call a truce and be released from the reach Of the noose and just recognize The threshold of negative energy Sometimes the enemy really tends to be inner me We're wasting all our energy spinning round and round When we're needing to slow down
So what you know about it The party's on and popping And can't nobody stop it We keep it live with hotness So welcome to the new plateau Tell me how it feels to exist past the status quo Slash the lassos whips and anything hindering Saint and sinner man hope you're listening Cause when you're sick and can't get well And trouble's all on your brain Remember God came to earth to settle the score And do away with the ball and chains
Song Description: Sometimes the things we hustle for leave us stuck in the mud. The shiny chains in their various forms that we kill ourselves to earn, many times become the very thing that entraps us. Although we have to keep the lights on, we must also remember the things in our lives that are most important. Or else, our ballin' chains will become our ball & chains. Gain the world and.......(you know the rest). -- DJ Maj
