paps & l.u.c. - a long and difficult road (feat. dr koul) lyrics

[intro speech: blind seer from “oh brother where art thou”]

first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril. mm-hmm. you shall see thangs, wonderful to tell
i cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the obstacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward. though the road may wind, yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow the road, even unto your salvation

[verse 1: dr koul]

this year i lost my cat, my granny
and one of my best friends
in every nook and cranny i’m stuck
searching for it to make sense
i’ve sat up in darkness, scribbling at my desk
contemplating my attack, resting in my defence
it doesn’t add up, sometimes the good die young
and there’s a life in the oppressed
for which the privileged long
they’re unimpressed with the riches
still swallow it up
depressed under the rictus
never shallow enough
and i’m just left with the diamonds in the rough
and on the the left
there’s the diamonds that the poor man wants
and on the right
there’s a lie that make the pure man tough
and i’m just left with the diamonds in the rough
until my time is up
the so-called war on drugs
only caused more addicts and thugs
the war on terror’s no better
from bin laden to trump
and every rapper who’s just wishing
for his chance to blow up
and now we have to grow up
from voting for bernie sanders
losing hope with obama
we’re closer to burning mansions
just to cope with the drama
in geneva bunch of hypocrites attacking our culture
we protest in the streets
where we graffiti with colour
we’re disobedient, we don’t believe
what they speak and they mutter
they call us idiots and tell us to get back in the gutter
there’s more secrets in the parliament seats
than kids have from their mother
we don’t believe in freedom of speech
we believe in each other

[chorus: dr koul w/ scratches by dj ara’z’cut]
“you understand me?”
we know they sell weapons and deal death
and destruction, with justice as pretense
“wh-what?”
we know they sell weapons and deal death
and destruction, with justice as pretense
a false sense of security nonsense
a false sense of security nonsense

[verse 2: paps]

my generation faces all the problems
of the world on its shoulders
and now we’ve crossed over
man, it’s gotten colder
everybody’s focus always seems to be retaliation
no grand debating this state of hatred
that is our creation
so let’s put something to rest
some deaths got us fronting
huffing and puffing our chests
others are just pictures and a chunk full of text
i guess a third of the world’s lives
don’t mean much to the west
politicians scheming as they always have
claiming that they walk straight paths
they don they masks
and talk they cr-p, never gonna drop they act
and if they get us where they want us
it’s a long way back
but it can be done
if the people put down their guns
unsung heroes rising
from the cities and the slums
the city’s looking gritty
since the villainous have funds
still we waiting for the day
when the people unite as one, but
the path is winding, inclined and intertwining
to guide your mind’s eye, the signs are still divided
in this day and age
we’re feeling lost in sp-ce and time
it’s like looking at the world
through a lens of psilocybin
these visions might decide
the road we choose to take
but who’s to say if we go or choose to stay
stagnating in this current state
or breaking through the obstacles
we’re in a bad place but, we made it possible

[chorus: dr koul]
we know they sell weapons and deal death
and destruction, with justice as pretense
we know they sell weapons and deal death
and destruction, with justice as pretense
a false sense of security nonsense
