The State Of The Union

People inna misery
 Government a work
 But government
 Them is a mockery
 Respect to the youths
 Whether in front in
 Or di back a me
 Why don't you treat dem
 Like the way you should?
 And I know all the things you find
 Even though it's a good disguise
 And I see all the things you do
 And what you do will come back to you
 You think we can't fight
 What the eyes can't see?
 Because you think we are blind
 In poverty

 It's like you want see the people rebel
 And fire gunshots and burn buildings to hell, oh
 And after that you a go want treat me well
 It's like you have the people under spell, oh
 Talking to the people in a congress
 Vote you in, so you better do your best, oh
 After all, no contest
 It's the State of the Union address
 (Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I)

 Broadcasting lies
 On the television screen
 Trying to get us hooked
 On your American dream
 Up on your games
 If you know wha' you mean
 When you cheated on your wife
 With your monies and your scheme
 People rule and a that you fi follow
 We are no fool and no call me no nigga
 Do a good term and you deserve another
