Upright

lyrics

UPRIGHT

Freedom will come on the act of self reliance
Corporations grow, in result of our compliance
Purchase base off ah need and not just desire
Under Sankara they made brands, with native hands
No obligation to a foreign supplier

Verse 1:
Well he who feeds you, controls you
The way you move and how you think
Would you believe me, if I told you
They would privatize the water that you drink
A polyarchy disguised in democracy
The unseen, the obscene
Tell Monsanto flee off of meh property
And mek dem know that dem just buk up in

Chorus:
Some Upright man well and some Upright Woman
Some Upright man well and some Upright Woman
Some Upright man well and some Upright Woman
Some Upright man well and some Upright Woman

Verse 2:
Capitalism, is de high priest
Converting all to follow suit
A private prison, is one of my least
Favorite tricks weh dem pull on de youth
Exclude I from your dead income tax
Your debt provoked by greed is a bottomless pit
Oh what a day when we start to react
And dem find out, that dem just buk up in

Chorus:
Some Upright man well and some Upright Woman..

Verse 3:
(You) silenced Sankara, Lumumba
Gaddafi, Garvey and Mr. X
Took place in the daylight
That put the shine on your grin
The wounds are deep but your ways are not complex
What is the base of the grudge on the melanated ones
(Their) views of home is distorted thanks to you
You tried to turn the lights out
With a black face in the White House
I have no Uncle Sam and i’m no tool
