No More (feat. MITCHELL)

from New Dynasty (Mixtape - 2016) by Kid Pharaoh

lyrics

(Intro)

From every corner of the land came teaming multitudes of workers
And then slaves and generations of slaves
To rest the rock from the unyielding Earth
While army’s of humanity suffered and died to haul their colossal burden across the desert to the river Nile
For the final journey to the mighty ramps that flanked the Pyramids


(Verse 1)

I’m tired of it, I can’t stand it no more
The contradictions of the system, I’ve seen it all before
Hypocrites, this ain’t a diss, it’s a wake up call
‘Cause this shit is a maze that you need to be awake for
Preacher tryna preach money's the root of all evil
Yet on Sunday collection plate bein' passed throughout the people
Teacher tryna teach me these lessons of education
How the hell I’m 'posed to use this in a future occupation?
Police sayin' they breachin' the presence of current crime
I'm seeing those in uniform commit too many times
Our leaders throwing promises, promises so profound
Every time that hope is broken, man it's shattered on the ground
I looked up, questioned the presence of this deception
Heard a voice ring through my mind that said it’s all about perception
I struggled to accept it then I, questioned who said it 
Then I realised there was no one standing in my presence, who said it?

(Kid Pharaoh - Hook x2)
They tryna take what’s mine, but nah won’t let ‘em
They tryna take my shine, but nah won’t let ‘em
They tryna kill my grind, but nah won’t let ‘em
Won’t let ‘em play me no more

(MITCHELL - Hook)
They tried to take my, shine away, but I won’t let them, no more
They tried to take my, grind away, but I won’t let them, no more

(Verse 2)

Framed by the law, these pigs tellin' they twisted tales
Killin' all my people, men, women and kids as well
Run 'em down with tanks, open fire in the street
Tryna take 'em out for real, tryna knock em off they feet
When my people out in Egypt in the streets regaining freedom
Being peaceful, yet these lives are taken and they're tryna flee
Who they supposed to run to, authorities right?
Too bad that the authorities the ones takin' lives
Ain't nobody safe, Muslim or a Christian even kids
Be gettin' laid out, they spray rounds, no such thing as safe grounds
No playgrounds, don't play now
It ain't safe now, come back in the house and pray now
That God’ll keep us safe throughout the day now
Shit, how do we protect the children and the wives
When the fathers and husbands, they conscripted to fight
Damn, this fucking government, you may as well have no law
Coz the people they cant take this shit no more

(Kid Pharaoh - Hook x2)
They tryna take what’s mine, but nah won’t let ‘em
They tryna take my shine, but nah won’t let ‘em
They tryna kill my grind, but nah won’t let ‘em
Won’t let ‘em play me no more

(MITCHELL - Hook)
They tried to take my, shine away, but I won’t let them, no more
They tried to take my, grind away, but I won’t let them, no more

(Outro)

They tryna take what’s mine, but nah won’t let ‘em
(But I won’t let them)
They tryna take my shine, but nah won’t let ‘em
(No more)
They tryna kill my grind, but nah won’t let ‘em
(But I won’t let them, no more)
Won’t let ‘em play me no more
