Arrested Development - Give A Man A Fish Lyrics
Lately I've been in a life like limboLooking out of a smudged up windowWe're not sure where our lives are goingFriends, it's summer outside but yet we're snowed inDon't know where our next dollar's coming fromLiving the life of a poor musicianHeadliner's strong so he keeps his 9 to 5Cutting brothers' hair as a means of staying aliveIf it wasn't for the rhythmI think we would have given up by nowThis system has gotten the best of meNow I pray for God to invest in meMy dignity, invest his gloryGive me the strength so I can finish the storyKeep on searching for the right way to go outcoz going out is what it's all abouthuh! You can't be passive, gotta be activeCan't go with what looks attractiveGotta learn all I can while I'm ableHeadliner expresses his feeling on those turntablesWhen we get our chanceto make a good living of the music we programWe won't sell out just to be sold outBrothers and sisters, do you know what I'm yapping about ?Coz if they take away our contractwe still got talent and we still got contactsCoz we're worked real hard to get this farWe're catching the bus before we bought the carYa see ![CHORUS:][Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a dayTeach him how to fish and he'll eat forever] (2x)Got to get politicalPolitical I gotta getGrown but can't hold my ownSo this government needs to be overthrownBrothers with the AKs and the 9 MMsneed to learn how to correctly shoot'emSave those rounds for a revolutionPoor whites and blacks bumrushing the systemBut I tell you: Ain't no room for gangstazCoz ganstaz do dirty work and get pimped by mobstersSome fat Italian eating pasta 'n lobsterBrothers getting jailed and mobsters own the coppersso you you want out of the ghettoFirst the political prisoners must be let goAnd you must let go of your power masterYou'll never get out without much disciplineRaise your fist but also raise your childrenSo when you die the movement moves onCoz with revolution, ain't no future in front o' y'allhaha! Direct your anger, loveNothing's ever built on hate, instead loveLove your life, tackle the governmentThe spooks that break down the door are heaven sentand my phrase went...[CHORUS] (2x)Alright !Rhythm makes you move your body, rhythm makes you move your mindRhythm makes your elbows groove, rhythm makes that behind moveRhythm makes the people move, rhythm makes you want to moveRhythm makes your mind soothe, next stop is Jerusalem
