feat. Sweetleaf
[Intro: Sweetleaf]
Oh, give it to me
Oh, give it to me (I've got to have it)
[Chorus: Sweetleaf]
If there's a cure for this, baby I want it, want it
If there's a remedy, baby I need it, got to have it
[Remedy]
This is a story brought before me, from the wise and the old
Take it down from the past, before ya eyes to unfold
Now I took this, crafted it and made it the mold
For all those rainy nights, left out in the cold
Yeah, the rat race, movin' at a nine-to-five pace
A life story based on paper chase
What's goin' on? Something's wrong in the world that we live
But if we hold on long enough it gotta give
How many times must history repeat in itself
Face defeat, mankind, be beat by himself
Generations done passed son, look at the last one
There's no more legends in the making, ask one
Man, money, then power, sex, rock and drugs
Economics, politics and thugs
I said, man, money and power, sex, rap and drugs
Anxiety, society fucks
[Sweetleaf]
I've got it have it...
[Chorus 2X]
[Remedy]
Unspoken words only heard from behind the closed door
Politicians hide themselves away, but started the war
Watch the day go out in fight, they leave that up to the poor (Give it to me)
And if you got another minute, I can tell you some more
Aiyo, never judge a book by it's cover, never cheat on ya lover
Never rob, never steal, love thy brother (Give me a remedy)
Never count ya money, always count ya blessings (Yeah-yay)
Never say never, always learn ya lessons
In the land once filled wit mad milk and honey (Uh-huh, give it to me)
What a man wouldn't do just for the taste of money (Yay)
What a woman wouldn't do for the touch of a m
