WWFD

A cold night that was riddled in war/ It rained from a trickle to a pour/ Not even a nickel that wasn’t fought for/ cus if it cost more than what you holding/ You holding heat by your waste line/ With no time to waste time hesitate or wait/ Not even if you face time/ Its just a break from the chase/ Sooner or later you back in it/ Trying to start over and build up a stack in it yeah/ Never seeing that your son seeing that/ Reaching for that cheese caught in a trap/ Hanging from trees strange fruit living in magnolia dreams/ Waking up to one hell of a nightmare/ As soon as you open up your eyes its right there/ Put on your Nike airs and hit the block looking to sell a few/ While we stuck and we stumbling I’m wondering what would Fela do

A simple story really, life is very hard/ Full of suffering until the cemetery yard/ I swear we all hustling for the same thing/ Room to breathe, food to eat, then a chance to maybe change things/ Change scenes from take one to take whatever you want/ Clever punks in the streets with guns and empty stomachs/ See you with a house on your neck and they want it/ But what would you expect from a kid with no vision/ A kid with no hope forget he won’t listen/ No joke only smiles at his enemies/ With bad luck like a child of the Kennedys/ It sounds wild but its common as cornbread/ All around town looking down and more sad than ever/ Stuck in a cage one hell of a zoo/ Wonder back in the days what would Fela do

Wish I could deliver a quick fix but there ain’t none/ And its quicker to quit but we aint done/ And we can’t run but so sick of this shit/ Ready to break from the grip of the tricks/ And be on time for my date with Fait/ Cus I’m ready to shine ready to climb and ready to wait/ And ready for whatever coming out of the gates/ On my Fela ready for the fight ready for the great
