Down

Текст песни Manhole - Down

Down Lyrics[Lynn Strait of Snot]
They say that equality is for everyone
Black and white, rich and poor, male...
And female

[Tairrie B]
Bullshit
And you can fuck that American dream
Livin' in America I know what it means
To be on welfare, have no healthcare
Walk down the street and be scared
Unprepared for a system that's built on hate
Yo, and gives permission to rape
Discriminates against color while it wrecks
And disrespects my sex
I ain't down
[Strait]
Down for the system
That's why I resist them
Lied to and betrayed
(Listen)

[Tairrie B]
Motherfuck the establishment and all that it stands for
Censor and dismiss the media and demands for
Sexual commodities equality void
With anorexic images of bodies destroyed
From diets to pills to throwing up till it kills
Continual false definition of what sells
Ten pounds thinner, Miss America winner
But I ain't down
You can keep your motherfuckin' crown

[Strait]
Not down for the system
That's why I resist them
Lied to and betrayed

You've got to raise the critical questions
'Bout their intentions that you were taught to believe
Takin' it from the system that's set up to deceive
Based on lies that were taught to you in school
History's being polluted, they're treatin' you like a fool
If you think that they're playin' it straight today
It's up to you and yo, and make it your own way
Don't buy the lies they try to disguise
You found you wanna be down?
You gotta tear it down
[Tairrie B]
So you say that you're politically minded
But you stay blinded
Lookin' for the truth
Eyes closed, you can't find it
They keep deceivin' us
We keep believin' it
But the way I'm seein' it
Here's how I'm feelin' it

[Both]
At 10, you suck
At 9, you're fucked
At 8, you're a sucker
7, a motherfucker
At 6, you're jacked
At 5, straight wack
At 4, you're a clown
All the way to 1 and we're done
Are ya down?
