Tryin´ (feat. Ruffian Rugged)

Lyrics

(Intro Sample: Angela Davis) At a challenging moment in our history, let us remind ourselves that we the hundreds of thousands, the millions of women, trans people, men and youth who are here at the Women's March, we represent the powerful forces of change that are determined to prevent the dying cultures of racism, hetero-patriarchy from rising again (Verse 1: Marie) You set the world on fire And plugged us onto wires How long will you hold us down Everybody with talent got stuck underground ́Cause we won ́t live forever So get you shit together We got way bigger problems We don ́t wanna die, at the start at the bottom (Hook: Marie) You keep lyin ́ you keep lyin ́to yourself If you ever thought that you need anybody else they be tryin ́ to mess with our heads But we will fight until the end You keep lyin ́, you keep lyin ́to yourself Cause your mind ripped like the flyer on the shelve I am tryin ́ I ́m on fire but I ́m tense We will fight until the end (Verse 2: Marie) I will fight ́till the end, I got my right to defend If I had wings i could fly, but we die on the fence A hungry mob is a angry mob, these are hunger games We want a change got sidetracked stuck and framed You ain ́t superior you ain ́t the people and we ain ́t illegal Between shades of evil raise no demon stay pangean Stop torture one another now whats power to the people if we runnin ́ out of water (Hook: Marie) You keep lyin ́ you keep lyin ́to yourself If you ever thought that you need anybody else they be tryin ́ to mess with our heads But we will fight until the end You keep lyin ́, you keep lyin ́to yourself Cause your mind ripped like the flyer on the shelve I am tryin ́ I ́m on fire but I ́m tense We will fight until the end (Ruffian Rugged) I will fight till di end fi di lie whe dem tell reunite any gang Inna night with a skeng there ́cause i shall revenge cause the life a means hell A hungry mob is a angry mob well these are hunger games Gonna riot ́cause we want a change but anytime we repodruce the same damn mistakes Every man fi himself, and every girl fi herself Dem wanna dash whe the water out the well, but economy monopoly a dash away our wealth Dash away our health care, dash away our wealth care, hop in the bentley don ́t give us help blame refugee camps there Fuck you, rightous a stand up and stand clear (Outro Sample: Angela Davis) Those who still defend the supremacy of white male hetero-patriarchy had better watch out Resistance on the ground, resistance in the classrooms, resistance on the job, resistance in our art and in our music This is just the beginning and in the words of the inimitable Ella Baker: 'We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes.'
