Elias Ali - The Workers Betrayed Lyrics

Ye ye ye ye ye ye ye yeah
Right right right right (ugh)
Ye ye ye ye ye ye ye yeah
Right right right right (ugh)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Right right right
Let me show you who I'm talking 'bout

Front to the back, side to the side,
Take a little moment while I kick this rhyme
I'm too fly, still not high
Roll one up, roll one up

Front to the back, side to the side
Take a little moment while I kick this rhyme
I'm too fly, still not high
Roll one up, roll one up (Look!)

You not above me but you not under me
Please do not come for me yeah yeah
My people had nothing
They showed me something and I turned it into some yeah yeah
This ain't my moment? This ain't yo moment
This just a moment in time ugh
I do not own it and you do not own it
Then why are we both on our grind? Ugh

I'm in a cemetery im just meditating on how I just be killin shit
How did I make it this far? I do not know all I know is I'm on some realer shit
Breaking my back for the benefits
I don't be feelin it this is some realer shit
They be blowing my whole high, I need a whole ride
I need to really be peelin' it, (skrrt)
How they be foolin us, how they be doin us
Ancestors rolling in graves
Mother was prayin
Mama I miss you but we needed more than some grace (I'm too sad)
I'm too shy I'm too high to be on stage
I'm too red, really red
I'm well read, you feel my rage
This is a feelin worth talkin bout this is a feelin worth walkin out
All of the things that we toil for
This is a feelin worth chalkin out
I'm in a cemetery just waiting
Talking to spirits and instigating
You still wit Satan negotiations?
I'm with the people, I'm gonna make it!

You not above me but you not under me
Please do not come for me yeah yeah
My people had nothing
They showed me something and I turned it into some yeah yeah
This ain't my moment? This ain't yo moment
This just a moment in time ugh
I do not own it and you do not own it
Then why are we both on our grind? Uh

We gotta step outta line uh (right)
We gotta make up our mind uh (right right)
We ain't with shoes and some shine uh
We gotta get with the time uh
F*ck is you sayin? We is not playin
This is the sound of the workers enraged (right)
This the tradition of people enslaved
This is the sound of the breaking of chains (this be the sound!)
This is the sound of the workers escape (this be the sound)
This is the sound of the workers betrayed (this be the sound)
This is the sounds of the workers betrayed (this be the sound)
This is the sound of the workers betrayed (this be the sound)
This is the sound of the workers betrayed (this be the sound)
This is the sound of the workers betrayed
This is the sound of the workers betrayed
This is the sound of the workers betrayed
Yeah yeah yeah!

Front to the back, side to the side
Take a little moment while I kick this rhyme
