Tenement Yard — текст песни (Mystic Roots)


Dreadlocks can`t live in a tenement yard
I & I can`t live in a no tenement yard
Jah, penetrate in a tenement yard
Dreadlocks can`t live in a tenement yard
I & I can`t live in a no tenement yard
Can`t I-nitate in a tenement yard

Dreadlocks can`t live in privacy
Cause anything him do, old nigga see
Hook: Too much watchy, watchy, watchy
Too much sus, sus, sus, sus, sus,
Dreadlocks can`t smoke them pipe in peace
Too much Babylon & too much beast



Dreadlocks can`t penetrate the rent-man
Cause all him a do is sell Jah-Jah land

Dreadlocks can`t live under constant laws
Too much Babylon means too many laws


I was born twenty years ago today
Well at least when I wrote this
Holiday: December tre
Livin` life out a focus
I`m hopin` not to get caught up
With a felonization
But I grew up in a nation not ready for legalization
They tease me with the American dream
But wait it gets deep
The American dream has gotta be a dream
If you believe in it, you sleep
Reality ain`t nothin` nice
You gotta do right
Or get caught up by the vice
Three strikes = life
Trife livin`, catch me with some weed and now they give incarceration
Yes on felony: job application
Got me hatin` these choices struggle minimum wage
Increase a little, not enough for me in this day and age
How the hell you `posed to buy a car to drive to school
The average job today be payin` five and a few
Somethin` in my pocket missin` my one fear
$10,000 for tuition, that`s one year!
I`m not a teen no mo`; I got my chances to reform
They`re tryin` to break me down by puttin` narcs up in the dorms
People gon do what they gotta do regardless
We don`t want the law to baby-sit us, we want it to guard us
Guard us from the rapists, kidnappers, and thieves
Not to incarcerate us strictly for havin` weed
My sympathies go out to those set up by a snitch
Dreadlocks forever be poor as long as Babylon`s rich

Chico can`t smoke them pipe in peace
Too much Babylon and too much beast

Chico can`t smoke them bongs outside
Cause Babylon wanna take you and I for a ride
