Promoe - Dog Day Afternoon (feat. Chords, Timbuktu & Rantoboko) Lyrics
Good morning, boys and girls.It's a new day, what we call the morning after.Ain't nothing changed, though.Still the same war, yer' head feelin like it exploded last night, right.Verse 1: (Promoe)All of the people cant be alright all of the time they tell meBut some people seem to have a right to have it allAll of my people lets unite right nowDont follow Babylon system because theyre capitalistic cannibalsIm callin for equal rights and justice just like the teacher Peter Tosh didTryin to reach my people in the mush pit at the festivalsOr at the clubs, the cars, the parks, at homes wherever you choose to roamPromoe on the microphone, dont care if Im right or no I just shoot the foamDont know if its night or afternoon, but I know its the morning after soonAnd I know Im gonna pass out soon, too fast too soon, bring me back the tuneSo I can vibe all night like theres no tomorrowCome with me on a flight, leave this world so shallowPiece of the pie, keys of the ride, Es for the high, dime piece on the sideThats what they all want aints it, yall gon feel it morning after, no more laughterWork in iniquity and we think we are freeJust because we cant see, the chorus sing it with me!Chorus: (Promoe & Rantoboko)Oh yes- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoonIm so tired of the world right now- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoonNever wanna wake up no more- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoonJust wanna take it easy- I am with the people when the world unites...Verse 2: (Timbuktu)No peace no justice, theyre restless, dont need get busted for questionsSeek and trust in affection, plus keep in touch with the checks andPeople wieldin weapons at each other to keep it coveredAnd keep it comin, the power that be just wanna see the numbersWould probably eat their mothers, dont really speak to othersJust sit back and watch people fall into deeper slumbersOf money and materialistic shitThats unequally distributedAnd the things that were willing to risk for it, to just get a whiff of itRide around town in a crispy whip, get a pretty chick to kiss my lipI want every day to be like a festival, I wanna kick back have nothing else to doBut eat cake in the park, drink makers mark, swim around the pool like a mako sharkBut what am I gonna make the bacon off? And I get no sleep still awake at dawnAll I wanna do is hold my chest out, all you gonna get is totally stressed outHowlin like a Wolf, screaming like Jay HawkinsWith nightmares of what their dreams might cost themChorus: (Timbuktu & Rantoboko)Oh yes- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoonThinkin of when times get better- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoonPointin my eyes to the sky- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoonAnd you know- Im chillin with my people... when the world unitesVerse 3: (Chords)All I hear are clocks tickin, Im stuck in this hot kitchenin the *****in wok sizzin, watchin how the plot thickensWatchin all these cops friskin little kids for shopliftinTellin em to stop, listen! Run and check the job listingsNah mister, I dont work for slave wagesI dont want my playstation to trade places with a pacemakerI just relaxed real cool, sat back looked pass the rulesYou and your pack of fools ruined my afternoonI swear these mother*****ers got a hold of me, bloodsuckers controllin meWont let go of me, and they throwin me to the wall, but I fall on my own two feetCould it be cus Im rollin trees and my block smells like potpourriWith my eyes shot red like the Cyclops in the Odyssey when I go to sleepIt is cus I dont hold the grease? ***** that man I flow on beats***** the man patrollin streets, cuffin hands and holdin heatId rather earn a dollar with a dirty collarworkin the early hours for something worth the bother!Chorus: (Chords & Rantoboko)Dont need no 9-5- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoonNot to know that Im alive- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoonSee I know that time will fly- Its been a had days night now its a dog day afternoonEven if I dont climb inside, and vibe...- Relaxin with my people when the world unites!
