I Can’t Take It

Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus: Patty] I tried so hard To live my life With these kinda people round me With these kinda people round me My friend just told me To keep my head high Oh, don't you worry, don't worry You always... [Chorus: Patty (Suffa)] Tell me people I just gotta know I can't, can't take it Can't take it no more Tell me people I just gotta know (Check it out) I can't, can't take it (Ah, come on Ayy) Can't take it no more [Verse 1: Suffa] Man, I feel this pain And I realise the game ain't shit 'Cause I've signed these kids' arms where they've tried to drain their wrists (What?) And that's as deep as it gets, I'm Deeper than an old drunk beating his stepson (Damn) Now, how you gonna mess with a loved one and beat 'em? It's like this demon wanted kids just to mistreat 'em As street preachers scream at the heathens Man, we've been caught up in a net like sea creatures Free speech is speechless, we just don't care that they took it (We don't care) We just don't care that they're crooked Corruption's like cocaine and everybody's just so high (So high, so high) And they're all so good-looking, man, fuck that (Fuck that, man) That kid's got gravel on His knees from the ground that he grovel on Matchstick Babylon burn it to the ground, churn it up, rip it up "Turn it upside down, burn it up" Our grandfathers died on battlefields so we could die on toilet floors Smack up, pass out and soil our drawers Cutthroat, blood soaks and soils our shores We got a war for oil that gives us oil for wars, fuck that, man (Fuck that) 'Cause I'm a believer, I love life I love peace, it's like they don't love either My love is deeper, my brother's keeper It's like they want to send us all into the fucking ether What? [Pre-Chorus: Patty] I tried so hard To live my life With these kinda people round me With these kinda people round me My friend just told me To keep my head high Oh, don't you worry, don't worry You always... [Chorus: Patty] Tell me people I just gotta know I can't, can't take it Can't take it no more Tell me people I just gotta know I can't, can't take it Can't take it no more [Verse 2: Pressure] Is the world made of plastic? Is the city buried in schemes? Ain't it tragic? Capture we rage at delay in traffic Till it beats us into shape like our hate's a blacksmith Writing blue-collar change, like it escaped our notice When the fuck we became the processed? Tainted focus, straining, so stressed, pain of slow death No! Burn it down in the name of progress We see, teach and grow the most lethal foe When he kills for a reason he don't even know While media's feeding your evening show Like vampires, getting high on other people's lows So while the courts are choked with matters The only status that counts is the amount over balance 'Cause credit is a loan attached to a rope and ladder If you don't know the swagger of cloak and dagger Sex workers, street urchins, houses Squallor, while the churches got merchants out, we've got 'em Murderous politics, don't be absurd It's gonna surface hidden by the courteous bounds of honour And in the hope I'll cope, I'll get over A flow with the dope and lines in Le Coka Nostra And I'm focused to know where the love's at Y'all gotta go, let it come back [Chorus/Collision: Patty] "Try to keep my head off the floor" Tell me people "Gotta keep surviving" I just gotta know "Try to keep my head off the floor" I can't, can't take it "Time to do what we gotta do" Can't take it no more "Try to keep my head off the floor" Tell me people "Gotta keep surviving" I just gotta know "Try to keep my head off the floor" I can't, can't take it "Time to do what we gotta do" Can't take it no more
