lyrics

Life is daunting, Yes I know
The running round till you can’t run round no more
The hustle and bustle bringing you to the floor
They shine up their diamonds
You’re getting ready for war
If I were in control
what side would I choose what would be my goal.
Would I drop to the beat of the poor
as the rich scramble round trying to score
Or would I ride to the rhythm of the rich
they got me so up tight that I got a nervous twitch
how about death caused by disease and all the bombs exploding over seas.

Ohhh ohh oh I don’t even know
Ohhh oh oh Im losing control
Tell me please, what should I do? I’m losing my mind I got some loose screws.
Tell me please, what should I do? What should I do?

I don’t want to control, all the guns that you got and the money you throw
I don’t want to control, all the killing and spilling the blood to the floor
Pick yourself up of the floor
Stress dragging you down you cant take it no more
Love and life hit you to your core
feeling like your never gonna win this war
Work all day to bring home jack
Sleep a few hours just to go right back
Whip crack your Whack pick up the slack
Keep your head straight don’t swerve off track
Is this the life you want to lead
a world smothered in frustration and greed
So I keep toking up on this weed
Oh I keep toking up on this weed.

I don’t want to control, all the guns that you got and the money you throw
I don’t want to control, all the killing and spilling the blood to the floor
Anymore anymore oh no no no
