Yeah

Uh

I’m in the trenches, they on the benches

Talking tough talk, I put them on my shitlist

They so clueless, they call it business

the US?

None of your business

What’s good for the goose, good for the gander

Should put my thoughts on leaflets, let’s call it propaganda

I left my to-do list up in my daily planner

You can tell I’m African by my daily manners

Monkey see, monkey do, I guess it’s all bananas

A child of the night, but he never wore pajamas

Sometimes hurtin', the burden, so enormous

Clinging on the flea market and false promise

And to be honest, I never seen a zebra in my life

Just Adidas black and white stripes

And I never knew J.C. Penny or Fischer-Price

Only

An invisible man in the land of the invisible hand

Trying to eat a decent meal twice

A day in the life, living by the edge of the knife

Makes it harder and harder for me to be polite

A hungry man is an angry man

And if you pale in comparison, get you a tan

Call me Volta River Akosombo I give a damn

Making hydroelectric power to power my plant
