Promoe - Dog Day Afternoon lyrics
Your rating:
Good morning, boys and girls. It's a new day, what we call the morning after. Ain't nothing changed, though. Still the same war, yer' head feelin like it exploded last night, right. Verse 1: (Promoe) All of the people can't be alright all of the time they tell me But some people seem to have a right to have it all All of my people lets unite right now Don't follow Babylon system because they're capitalistic cannibals Im callin for equal rights and justice just like the teacher Peter Tosh did Tryin to reach my people in the mush pit at the festivals Or at the clubs, the cars, the parks, at homes wherever you choose to roam Promoe on the microphone, don't care if Im right or no I just shoot the foam Don't know if it's night or afternoon, but I know it's the morning after soon And I know Im gonna pass out soon, too fast too soon, bring me back the tune So I can vibe all night like there's no tomorrow Come with me on a flight, leave this world so shallow Piece of the pie, keys of the ride, Es for the high, dime piece on the side That's what they all want aints it, yall gon feel it morning after, no more laughter Work in iniquity and we think we are free Just because we can't see, the chorus sing it with me! Chorus: (Promoe & Rantoboko) Oh yes - it's been a hard days night now it's a dog day afternoon Im so tired of the world right now - it's been a hard days night now it's a dog day afternoon Never wanna wake up no more - it's been a hard days night now it's a dog day afternoon Just wanna take it easy - I am with the people when the world unites... Verse 2: (Timbuktu) No peace no justice, they're restless, don't need get busted for questions Seek and trust in affection, plus keep in touch with the checks and People wieldin weapons at each other to keep it covered And keep it comin, the power that be just wanna see the numbers Would probably eat their mothers, don't really speak to others Just sit back and watch people fall into deeper slumbers Of money and materialistic shit That's unequally distributed And the things that were willing to risk for it, to just get a whiff of it Ride around town in a crispy whip, get a pretty chick to kiss my lip I want every day to be like a festival, I wanna kick back have nothing else to do But eat cake in the park, drink makers mark, swim around the pool like a mako shark But what am I gonna make the bacon off? And I get no sleep still awake at dawn All I wanna do is hold my chest out, all you gonna get is totally stressed out Howlin like a Wolf, screaming like Jay Hawkins With nightmares of what their dreams might cost them Chorus: (Timbuktu & Rantoboko) Oh yes - it's been a hard days night now it's a dog day afternoon Thinkin of when times get better - it's been a hard days night now it's a dog day afternoon Pointin my eyes to the sky - it's been a hard days night now it's a dog day afternoon And you know - Im chillin with my people... when the world unites Verse 3: (Chords) All I hear are clocks tickin, Im stuck in this hot kitchen In the fuckin wok sizzin, watchin how the plot thickens Watchin all these cops friskin little kids for shopliftin Tellin em to stop, listen! Run and check the job listings Nah mister, I don't work for slave wages I don't want my playstation to trade places with a pacemaker I just relaxed real cool, sat back looked pass the rules You and your pack of fools ruined my afternoon I swear these motherfuckers got a hold of me, bloodsuckers controllin me Wont let go of me, and they throwin me to the wall, but I fall on my own two feet Could it be cus Im rollin trees and my block smells like potpourri With my eyes shot red like the Cyclops in the Odyssey when I go to sleep It is cus I don't hold the grease? Fuck that man I flow on beats Fuck the man patrollin streets, cuffin hands and holdin heat Id rather earn a dollar with a dirty collar Workin the early hours for something worth the bother! Chorus: (Chords & Rantoboko) Don't need no 9-5 - it's been a hard days night now it's a dog day afternoon Not to know that Im alive - it's been a hard days night now it's a dog day afternoon See I know that time will fly - it's been a had days night now it's a dog day afternoon Even if I don't climb inside, and vibe... - Relaxin with my people when the world unites!
