Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take a look at these hands
Take a look at these hands
[Verse 2]
The hand speaks
The hand of a government-ment
Well, let me talk 'bout
Born under punches
[Verse 3]
All I want is to breathe
Won't you breathe with me?
[Verse 4]
Formed out in space
So we move in between
And keep one step ahead
Of yourself
[Verse 5]
Don't you miss it, don't you miss it?
Some y'all people just about missed it
Last up to make plans, I'ma tell them
On the government-ment
[Verse 6]
Never seen anything like that before
Fun bodies , don't walk 'cross the floor, I'ma tell them
When get to where you wanna be, thank you, thank you
When get to where you wanna be, don't even mention it
[Verse 7]
Take a look at these hands passin' in between us
Take a look at these hands
Take a look at these hands, they don't have to mention it
No thanks, on the government-ment
[Verse 8]
And the hit goes on
And the hit goes on
And the hit goes on
And the hit goes on
[Verse 9]
And the hit goes on
When the hen house be
And the hit goes on
And the hit goes on
[Verse 10]
I'm gonna join in man
And I'm gonna burn everything, I'ma tell them
Drowning in a herd of men
Fire tell them how to mend
Not the government man
