happy joe - vanity lyrics
new gen
acekeyz
[verse 1: happy joe]
vanity vanity
everything is damaging
we either planing a salary
or imagining a famished dream
we training to slave
never ever taught to manage things
we weighing up scales
never ever taught of balancing
our drug dealers
are mathematicians
it’s crack
but business
they living with vision
they making the most
but you wanna kill him
cause he came from the coast
he came from the boat
from middle p-ssage
to living lavish
you wanna cap it
cause you don’t control
and we don’t consult you
and we don’t revolt
but you wanna boast
you want the roast, you want the toast
you want us skinny skinny skinny skinny
skin to the bone
you wanna eat
you want us bleeding
you wanna feed us
you wanna keep us
from ever ever going back home
so you degrade my perception
and make me resent my tone
you make me resent my relatives
make me hang up the phone
[hook: happy joe]
oh this
united, divided kingdom
happy joe
kicking and screaming you bring him
you even try blind me
with bright lights
though songs of truth i’m eternally singing
oh this
united, divided kingdom
happy joe
kicking and screaming you bring him
you even try and advertise your lies
you sold me dreams
and yes i buy
[pre-verse: happy joe]
apathy apathy
you know the code
i roll on my soles
you sold your souls
and you grow in a mould
you flow the flow
oh you walk the walk
and you talk the talk
but it’s different for you
cause this nation taught it
it’s bait
we big fish
and this nation caught it
hate
this grey ditch
this weathers appalling
great!
a grey switch
but the rain is pouring
[verse 2: happy joe]
vanity vanity
i could die or buy
strive or lie
visions of a diamond mind
i try to rise
outcomes very different
cause they blind our eyes
money over wealth
no time for time
time to climb
it’s time to rise
no blocking out pain
no stockings from satan
no watches no chains
i’m oh so chained
but i know i can change
cause
this the new generation
they can choose me i’m patient
in the booth no complaining
no more roots in my brain
they re-rooted my brain
oh it’s stupid insane
they can boot me, why stay?
we can choose how we play
i should’ve known today
i get blown away
i mean what could i say
if they intruded my place
i mean what would you say
nah what would you say?
if you were taken from your house
and thrown away
to this
hook: happy joe]
oh so
united, divided kingdom
happy joe
kicking and screaming you bring him
you even try and advertise your lies
you sold me dreams
and yes i buy
[verse 3: happy joe]
bring me back to the jungle
take me back to my tribe
oh they strip me of dignity
take me back to my pride
take me back i’m a lion
take me back to unite
africa is a rock
africa where i thrive
still no opportunity
still lacking in unity
still evident greed
still eyes
no scrutiny
i ask you on question
what can you do for me
riches of money and gold
are
of
no use to me
a suited man
i don’t choose to be
a proven plan
i know you pick me
i don’t choose to see
how i used to see
and you bruising me
so i loose my seat
of authority
ooh
it’s mockery
ooh
hypocrisy deep within democracy
baba baba
i’m so lost
i wanna make it to the mountains
but not at their cost
oh this
united, divided kingdom
happy joe
kicking and screaming you bring him
you even try and advertise your lies
you sold me dreams
and yes i buy
(keep it rolling)
let me flee
let me leave
oh i plea
i need trees
x3
but if i leave
then i leave you all with these
