michael rafael – small axe lyrics

if they the big tree
then we that small axe
sharpened to cut you down
ready to cut you down

so, if you that big tree
then we that small axe
sharpened to cut you down
ready to cut you down, get em’ all back for the sounds…
of my people, lost out here
for, the words from marley still resonate
ain’t safe no more, ain’t been for awhile
my people are tired, & way to proud
say that we not but we more connected than ever
so, its evident that we gon get together
in the center, settle this with weapons
yeah…. they fed up & they ready, they some rebels
the levels of the hate, they’ve been getting
got em waiting for the seconds they can face off
with the same ones that put a homie in the pavement…
now they famous for aiming
what do i know though right?
who am i to say sht?
i’m all about peace right
i understand nature though
you can’t keep people down
you can see it in they faces
& this cage fina make me rage
& i know that it outta my control
& the racist won’t change till the end of an age
so i stay in, faded, lace hits

if they the big tree
then we that small axe
sharpened to cut you down
ready to cut you down

nah, i ain’t fina set no place on fire
i ain’t gotta loot no store, no
sht…gotta get good to smoke
couple hundred more hits to make with these vocals
couple hundred years of not acknowledging
a system thats not apologetic
to a whole species of poverty stricken people
i been here 28, understanding what i need to
sht would make anybody crazy
& it has, so we high… in a haze
see, the only way to cope sometimes is an escape
so, in a mind at times is the only place we ain’t enslaved
kinda hard to believe when ya history is written by the people that put you in it….
got you in this mess
so, this is it…we finished

if they the big tree
then we that small axe
sharpened to cut you down
ready to cut you down

you got the system designed in ya favor
what more do you want?
sht, fck you expect?
wasn’t gon be tension?
you m-th-fckn broke her son’s neck
she should break yours
let me fall back
an eye for an eye, then we all handicapped
….pshh, i be like fck all that /
sometimes it just be like that
when you so mad that you can’t think
& it seems that you can’t win
gotta be the hunger, the need that brings
the stress it be causing
plant you a seed & it grows but never blossoms
& i don’t even really know my history
been told puerto rico was an acquisition
that means, basically..sht was stolen
so i dont know who to believe, ima keep it going
keep on living, maneuver up in it
try to get a little more ahead everyday
i sit & think of a lil bitty to get me ready for city to city
to be a citizen & get me through it, sittin n thinking like…..

in the end, it’ll be all good
