Lyrics

The world is rugged
And we just been surfing
Everybody at work
But nothing is working
The grind is the grind
Until the end times
Keep ya head up
We deep in the mines
Nah it ain’t about paper
Don’t put me on paper
I read all your papers
The ledgers of slavers
There won’t be a sequel
I’m threading the needle
So tear down the steeple
Humanity’s traitors
I’m fighting for equal
I know how to reach you
I don’t wanna teach you
But now there’s no later
Bara bara aonbe barala
Bara bara aonbe barala
Aonbe barala tielou be barala
Aonbe barala mousso be barala
Aonbe barala demisin be barala
Bara bara aonbe barala
Papa we done with the bombs
Mama we sung all the songs
Gimme one more
Papa we done with the bombs
Mama we sung all the songs
Gimme one more
Barala Barala
Papa we done with the bombs
Mama we sung all the songs
Gimme one more
Barala Barala
Papa we done with the bombs
Mama we sung all the songs
Gimme one more
We are a people
And we been a people
And we’ll be a people
When you’re out of favor
Your murder was legal
Our labor illegal
You raider we regal
We lava in creators
This is the time
It’s all on the line
No quarters & dimes
We taking these mines
There won’t be a sequel
I’m threading the needle
So tear down the steeple
Humanity’s traitors
I’m fighting for equal
I know how to reach you
I don’t wanna teach you
But now there’s no later
Papa we done with the bombs
Mama we sung all the songs
Gimme one more
Papa we done with the bombs
Mama we sung all the songs
Gimme one more
Barala Barala
Papa we done with the bombs
Mama we sung all the songs
Gimme one more
Barala Barala
Papa we done with the bombs
Mama we sung all the songs
Gimme one more
Let the other side get its shine
Stay out the way when we unwind
Like a dervish spin sublime
Stay out the way when we unwind
Barala Barala
Barala Barala
Bump kick we grinding
Bump kick we grinding
Bump kick we grinding
Bump kick we grinding
Bump kick we grinding
Bump kick we grinding
Bump kick we grinding
Bump kick we grinding
Bump kick we grinding
Bump kick we grinding
Bump kick we grinding
Bump kick we grinding
