Testo Mister Landlord - Arrested Development
Testo della canzone Mister Landlord (Arrested Development), tratta dall'album Zingalamaduni
Mr. Landlord step off my yard
Mr. Landlord step off my yard
Mr. Landlord step off my yard
Mr. Landlord step off my yard
Mr. Landlord I understand
You have the right to check out your land 'cause it's your land
My family told me you've been peekin' in windows
Forcin' them to be a little scared, keepin' curtains closed
I protect my house, but on tour
I try to find a home where my people are secure
Your racist views are the views of your own
So please don't let it into my family zone
Just lettin' ya know, I'm not your little ol' colored boy
Steps off the curb when you park your walk
So please don't mistake my kindness for blindness
I've known your game since Columbus came
If I woulda known how your neck was burnin' red
In your complex I wouldn't have been caught dead
So here's my message from me to you
My space is off limits until we move, you understand that?
Mr. Landlord step off my yard
Mr. Landlord step off my yard
Mr. Landlord step off my yard
Mr. Landlord step off my yard
Mr. Landlord I have to question
Do you expect me to chill while you're bum rushin'?
You thought we were the passive kind, well you're mistaken
You oughta give 'nough respect like I'm Jamaican
The point is I feel you endanger my pride
Your racist comments, your racist approach, I ain't with it
It's bad enough there's kids in here that are strugglin'
Finding themselves without you bringing racism
Just to bring peace, do I have to get a piece?
And in the break of dawn I guess I'll pray to the East
'Cause I ain't the one to get slapped on the cheek
Without my fist curling up to hit you back in your teeth, yo
It's what we want, not a fight
Waving Confederate flags and gun totin' is your type
You ever heard of a goon? Well soon his spell
Will clear my brain while he clears where I dwell
I call on the natural forces that be
To help to free me, to free me
A la ba la boo la ya
A la ba la boo la ya
Yeah, yeah
A la ba la boo la ya
A la ba la boo la ya
Yeah, yeah
A la ba la boo la ya
A la ba la boo la ya
Yeah, yeah
A la ba la boo la ya
A la ba la boo la ya
Yeah, yeah
A la ba la boo la ya
A la ba la boo la ya
Yeah, yeah
