alexander o'neal - the yoke (g.u.o.t.r.) lyrics
if you seek with open eyes and mind
anything you’re looking for you’ll find
i’m just out here searching for respect
keep reaching for the top i’ll be the best
[chorus:]
get the yoke off my back
gonna use my intellect to get the yoke off my back
gotta get the yoke off my back, give myself a chance
get the yoke off my back
gotta get up on the rhythm, get up
i gotta get up on the rhythm
get this yoke off my back
it’s not whips and chains that make a slave
it’s the power of the rhythm in the brain
can’t live everyday locked in a trance
gotta break this bondage to have a chance
don’t like oppression, don’t like
rejection, i like perfection
a clear perception
chorus:
gotta get this yoke off my back, gonna
give myself a chance
to get this yoke off my back
gotta get this yoke off my back, gonna
use my intellect
to get this yoke off my back
i gotta get up on the rhythm, get up
i gotta get up on the rhythm, get this
yoke off my back
i gotta get up on the rhythm, get up
i gotta get up on the rhythm, get this
yoke off my back
i gotta get up on the rhythm get up
i gotta get up on the rhythm, get this
yoke off my back
i gotta get up on the rhythm, get up
t gotta get up on the rhythm, get this
yoke off my back
i feel a lot better when the yoke is off
my back
[rap:]
get up on the rhythm
the only key to freedom
mental state of being, all seeing
you’ve been holding me back for too long
the time is now, to sing my song
how long will the years of oppression
stop progression that is the question
i refuse to lose or be used by the yoke
no joke
now tell me do you see what i see
who says we’re free, in this society
things have changed but i still feel chained down
it’s all the same, rearranged, my skin’s still brown
tight as a rope now cut me some slack
what is this thing that’s been placed on my back
why does the yoke want to leave me for dead
think for a second
it’s all in your head
[chorus]
if you want me to pull ya, i’m not a mule
i’m not a beast of burden
i’m not your average tool
and if you ever need to know, what’s goin’ on
let me open up your eyes before the view is gone
[chorus]
