lyrics

Young boy lost his life today now
ooh woah ooh woah i wanna know
if justice is blind who is gonna pay now?
ooh woah ooh woah uh huh uh huh
pay for the tears and the stolen moments
for the memories that will never be mentioned
dreams that will never be fulfilled
we forfeit the children

chorus
I'm saying whose gonna take the weight
I'm saying who's gonna carry the burden
I'm saying whose gonna keep the faith
I'm saying gonna take the weight that's all on we

the ceo he gets a larger pay now
ooh woah ooh woah i wanna know
his parachute is free to fly away now
ohh woah ooh woah uh huh uh huh
cuz is a profit more than a people?
is poverty more than a station?
we ignore their faces they scream of starvation

chorus

(rhyme)

you got that 6 gun an unarmed man
the wickedest judge an unhatched plan
to murder off the youth of the original man
you want fe occupy they wall street
they gonna occupy your land
the wild wild western
him i fear

is largely off his rocker
real chief talker
busting off like blakka blakka
leave a casket popping toppers
situation they gon' learn
now check it babylon she gon fe burn

chorus
(ooh woah ooh woah)
uh huh uh huh
cause is a profit more than a people
is poverty no more than a station
we ignore their faces
they scream of starvation

chorus


u got that six gun
an unarmed man
the wickedest judge
an unhatched plan
to murder up the youth of the original man
you want fe occupy their wall street
their gonna occupy your land
the wild wild western
him eye fear
is largely off his rocker
won't you talk of bustin off like
blokka blokka
leave a casket proper topper
see the lesson they gon learn
now checking babylon she gonna burn

chorus
