Wax Tailor, Ursula Rucker - We be lyrics
[Wax Tailor, Ursula Rucker - We be lyrics]
I look at the moon so full and so bright
And then at the fireplace
With it flickering light
And realised why this world
Would never be right
Then I through another lump on the fire
We be, uh huh we be, hmm hmm
We be
Travelling down the highway of the enemy
We be joining the endless convoy
Of cultural hegemony we be
Missing the forest for the trees 'cause
We can't see the evils that men do on TV
In the movies
Overseas and right here on our streets we be
Opting for vain glory over humility
We need, we need to break the convoy line
Get the hell off the highway
Take the road less travelled
'Cause that moral fiber you thought
Was so tightly woven
It's unravelling, it's unravelled
I hate to tell y'all, it's unravelled
Why do you insist on keeping us caged
You know all that does intensified rage
The world know this is the time
And all power to the people
Power to the people
We be say, I'm standing on my soapbox again
Say, I'm one of those conscious artist
Talking that "change the world" shit again
Say, I might be just a bit too dramatic
Slash overzealous about what I see
As the human spirit's dive into uncertainty
Say what you like, say what you like
'Cause, I'll be all those things you say
All night and all day
Before I allow myself and soul
To wither away into, indistinctness
Live a half-life of blissfull ignorance
Never take another chance, another chance
Do the latest dance with the devil
And lose my dreams for all we could be
Lose my dreams for all we could be we be
Why do you insist on keeping us caged
You know all that does intensified rage
The world know this is the time
And all power to the people
Power to the people
We be many, so many
Many, like the number of death threats
That now come used to get
We be many, oh so many
Many, like the multitude of souls lost
In the wars of men
Over gold, over power, over die and hate
We be many, so so many
Many, like the lies of pell the truth
The coward lies of profit's and power bungers
Told to a cryer faith
To steal land to oppressed people
We be, the oppressed peoples
We be we be
Why can't we be more peaceful
Why can't we be nicer to one another
Why can't we be we be
What we were meant to be love
Why do you insist on keeping us caged
You know all that does intensified rage
The world know this is the time
And all power to the people
Power to the people
We be we be, uh huh, hmm, hmm
And then at the fireplace
With it flickering light
And realised why this world
Would never be right
Then I through another lump on the fire
We be, uh huh we be, hmm hmm
