terry lewis and wild flower - the peoples message take two lyrics

–in progress–

[intro]
–woman screaming–
hey you, get your hands off that girl!
mind your business brother! she belongs to me!
–fighting–
quick, somebody call the police!
–sirens–
what we have here, is a failure to communicate

[verse 1]
is that all you got to say to me? leaders of society
setting the rules, playing the game
suicide, do or die, all in vain
gangs to confuse me, wash my brain
you make it harder and harder, it’s time to get smarter
to win my liberty, to ring my bell
’cause all you’ve been giving me is nothing but h-ll
and it really shouldn’t come to no surprise
that there is something missing from our lives
so wake up everybody, let’s get wise
and beware of our enemies in disguise
black, brown, red, yellow and don’t forget the white
we must all come together for the truth will delight
just remember no matter what color
we are all one family, look out for one another

[hook]
it’s so hard for me, my life is such a mystery
it’s so hard for me, tell me is it this society?

[verse 2]
born in a world, a world of genocide
where the rich get richer, the poor [?]
whenever i’m out there looking for work
they give me a look as if i’m some jerk
i try to tell the owner that i really need this job
’cause sooner or later my family might starve
he says fill this out, but no matter what you do
“don’t call us, but we’ll call you”
and if i get hired there’s a threat of being fired
bossin’ me around like a crook at large
just to let everybody know who’s in charge
doin’ 9 to 5, makin’ minimum wage
there’s not enough money, my pockets they crave
and i [?] workin’ 4 to 12
after getting one job, i’m getting an itch
i’m gonna have to work the graveyard shift

[hook]
it’s so hard for me, my life is such a mystery
it’s so hard for me, tell me is it this society?

keepin’ your head above water’s so hard to bear
i can’t give up, i can’t get scared
keepin’ your head above water’s so hard to bear
i can’t give up, i can’t get scared
suicide, do or die, find yourself an alibi
and hustle on the side

mommy, daddy, what went wrong?
my life of sin’s a sad, sad song

[verse 3]
have [?] to [?]
standin’ on the corner all the people see [?]
a streetwise thug, dealing hard drugs
selling points and s-x
[?] and anything money can get
pimp [?] players, the hookers and their johns
all run around as if they got drama
crazy way to survive by destroying their lives
sooner or later you bid farewell
the rest of your life is spent in a cell
look at your now, you’re lost, you’re dumbfound
walkin’ around your [?] got you down
now you realize after going to jail
that the man of the hour, too sweet to be sour, has no clout in this town
you silly goose, you thought you had juice

[verse 4]
it’s been a long, long day, my breath is short
’cause i just came back from criminal court
i got some bad news concerning my man
tryin’ help his family out, he got in a jam
the things that he’s done, he should of avoided
it’s been six months or more since he’s been unemployed
the baby crying, needing milk to drink
the father upset, his mind went on the blink
i endured the [?] stares
oh please give him another chance
every week when i visit him
he tells me the crimes that happen within
you can’t imagine what i’m going through
living all alone, me and five little children
without daddy home, without a man around, it’s just a broken home

[hook]
it’s so hard for me, my life is such a mystery
it’s so hard for me, tell me is it this society?

mommy, daddy, what went wrong?
my life of sin’s a sad, sad song

[verse 5]
talkin’ to my landlord makes me mad
considering the price i pay for the pad
he gives me the feeling i’ve been had
’cause the living conditions are just that bad
let me tell you about some of my troubles
just to get this place i had to pay double
my room is a matchbox, two by four
cookin’ on a hot plate, bangin’ on the walls
i can’t stand the roaches, noise in the hall
there’s a crack in the stairs, i’m afraid i might fall
robbery, murders, people fighting in the streets
when you need a cop he’s never walkin’ his beat
i got away as far as i can go
wanna buy a house where a garden can grow
but to keep up with the joneses it’s just that hard
sometimes i wish i had me a mastercard

[hook]
it’s so hard for me, my life is such a mystery
it’s so hard for me, tell me is it this society?

[verse 6]
my children are hungry, my lady’s on my back
can’t get no sleep every time i hit the sack
