Testo The patriarchy - The Wahala Collective
Testo della canzone The patriarchy (The Wahala Collective), tratta dall'album Wahala Hustle. Wahala Love.
He sits inside the glass tower
Way above the cloud
You think I got the same view just because I'm loud
You see the strong jaw, you see the suit and tie
You think we fly the same jet across the same sky
But down here in the traffic, the air is thick with dust
The engine shining outside, but inside it is rust
Wetin eyes no see, the heart it cannot fear
You confuse the driver with the man inside the rear
They paint the picture gold
But the frame is getting old
One man eats the feast
While a million starve the beast
High life in the sky
We dey roll in the mud
They drinking all the wine
We dey sweet all the blood
It's the Palace
Versus the Pavement
It's the Palace
Versus the Pavement
Don't look at me like I got the keys
I'm just a leaf blowing in the breeze
We build the castle wall, stone by heavy stone
But when the night is falling, we walk the road alone
They say the world is mine to take, a gift inside my hand
But I am just a stranger walking in my father's land
Silent pressure heavy, like water in the lung
The song of broken winners that never can be sung
Omo, the silence is a killer, the silence is a trap
I'm running on a treadmill, looking at a map
My sister look at me with fire in her eye
She asks me why I rule the world and let the mothers cry
I show her empty pockets, I show her callous hand
I tell her"Baby, I just follow command"
The Big Man at the table, he throws the bone away
And watches while we fight for it to survive the day
Two beggars fighting over who is the king
While the puppet master pulls on the string
The summit is a needle
The bottom is the sea
You are drowning in the shadow
Right next to me
Right next to me
Right next to me
The Palace
The Pavement
LET'S GO
High life in the sky
We dey roll in the mud
They drinking all the wine
We dey sweat all the blood
It's the Palace
Versus the Pavement
It's the Palace
Versus the Pavement
Don't look at me like I got the keys
I'm just a leaf blowing in the breeze
So when you see the shiny shoes, check the muddy soul
We all just playing roles inside a story we don't control
No be so
We keep on moving
From the gutter to the stars
Maybe one day
The Palace and the Pavement
Same game
Different name
