Nas, Damian Marley - Dispear lyrics

Lord! This Spear, huh!
Shaka Zulu, Bobo Shanti, Nyabinghi
Man a Mau Mau Warrior this spear, eh
Fear and desperation no depression
Can't tarry ya despair, hey
Ayatollah, Idi Amin, Mennelek
Man a Masai Warrior this spear, eh
Fear and desperation no depression
Can't tarry ya despair
Like burning spear and such
And such before me
Who all fought for the cause and
This Spear, eh enforcing all the laws and

The Master and the Masses
One has power, The other one lacks it
Guns are power controlled by assets
Owned by financial forecasters
Who are the Masters? They are the Gangsters
They are the bankers, the ones who tax us
The Masses, they are us
The sheep, the people, divided in classes
I go off like a Shi'ite bomb
And all y'all see I'm on my
War paint on my face, shit
My nine millimeter on my waist
I'm a problem, shoot up your place shit
Let a few go, then I get low
Blazing Haze again
The Masters, the Wall Street War Chiefs
The Elitists Groups
The Masses, they pray to Jesus
Saying he will see us through
The Masters are the aristocratic
The Masses ask if the Most High
Is on His way here i'm trying to stay clear
My mind is my modern day Spear

Hey i say this Spear, huh!
Shaka Zulu, Bobo Shanti, Man a Gideon
Man a Mau Mau Warrior despair, eh
Fear and desperation no depression
Can't tarry ya this Spear, hey
Through the hands of time and cruel men
It has slew more than a billion despair, eh
It keep on suppressing the
Humble man's opinion

This land of the Swiss cheese
When the fifth squeeze, misled
The media misleads
Scares you to the point where you miss sleep
With that said this lead with this Ruger
And that shooter, sub machine gun
Ratta tat through you, copper tops
Hollow points will do ya something bad
Our future is misled three strikes
There's no school when a teacher strikes
This economy, this monopoly
Get no job, just own your property
Now it's back to what comes natural
Must survive any how you have to
Despair, Desperation
But I have no fear when I hold This Spear

Make some boy know me nah smile
Cause this spear nah beg friends
Man a run racket man a run scheme
Man a run race man a run down Benz
Can't trust a she nor he nor we nor I
In a contact lense man a run from police
And a run down wealth
And dollars and nah make sense

So rise up to my defense
Hollow pointed is my preference
Should have been deterred
Don't know what you heard
Get referred by the wrong reference
When this spear start dispense
It a fly and a tear through fence
Dismember your members and all of your limbs
Body bust in enough segments well
Man a run drugs, man a run risk
Man all a run out a time and ends
Man a run up and down, and a run fi dem life
And a run down this month rent
Nutin' nah go a yard, and food the a road
Then man have to go touch pavement
Despair was a tool
That was used to enslave man
And make manservant
Escape from Despair and Desperation
Becomes more urgent
Mankind needs to cleanse and
Wash out dem soul with spiritual detergent
A distant army, a distant relative
Controlling the circumference
And any man move with no permission
They're feeling the circumstance of

This Spear, hey
Shaka Zulu, Bobo Shanti, Man a, eh
Man a Mau Mau Warrior despair, eh!
Fear of your recession and
Depression can't tarry ya this Spear, hey
Inner city youth dem rise it
Up disguised as AK-47 this Spear, eh!
And anytime them clap it up
The whole city level this Spear
Like Burning Spear
And such and such before I
Who all fought for the cause and
This Spear, eh! They can't ignore me no!

What do you think of Africa? Africa, Africa
Ha ha ha, Africa
Just, just the mention of it
Just the mention of it, man
It's like you call me name, man
Well you know Africa is motherland
And Africa is were we rightfully belong
And that's were I want to be
