Days in a Daze (feat. Torch)

A living wage gives us all we need In a society that runs on cups of joe and money But ain't it strange how the days go by When you're saving up them dimes Just so you can pay a parking fine By the meter there's a mother and a son Beggin' for a couple nickels but the dead are on the run Gotta make it to the cubicle The counter Or the stage There ain't no mercy when the city is a cage Don't seem right to me The state in its entirety Defiance or compliance still defining if a family Will move up, or stay down It's time to ask what kind of people run this town So tell me what we're waiting for We're dreaming when we're sleeping But we stop in the morning Can anyone afford to misbehave Repression of our ancient lore Repeating without meaning Get to work, keep snoring It's all forgivable as long as we get paid Spending days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid Days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid Days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid It's all forgivable as long as we get paid Hey, Pow Sound of the gun Bad bwoy deh pan di run Surely police a come White chalk and yellow tape Dat means body left pan di ground Sufferation on the rise but yes that only for the slum Babylon dem take it all See it dem don't waan gi wi none Empty pocket empty promises Corruption never done Nuff a thief and nuff a scam Do anything fi mek it come Rasta man a burn di fire red Beat di kete drum Nuff a dead fi di dalla Some a stoop and a falla Many weep and a alla When pressure pap pan dem colla Poverty taking over Dem shut dem eyes like a shutter Head a government in parliament mi call dem deh liar Yow So tell me what we're waiting for We're dreaming when we're sleeping But we stop in the morning Can anyone afford to misbehave Repression of our ancient lore Repeating without meaning Get to work, keep snoring It's all forgivable as long as we get paid Spending days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid Days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid Days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid It's all forgivable as long as we get paid So tell me what we're waiting for We're dreaming when we're sleeping But we stop in the morning Can anyone afford to misbehave Repression of our ancient lore Repeating without meaning Get to work, keep snoring It's all forgivable as long as we get paid Spending days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid Days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid Days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid It's all forgivable as long as we get paid Days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid Days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid Days in a daze feeling trapped and afraid It's all forgivable as long as we get paid
