Lyrics

[Intro: Nina Simone] I'll tell you what freedom is to me! No fear I mean really, no fear. If I could have that... Half of my life No fear [Hook] My Radical Dilemma is a bit of a problema My people like "Whateva Tryna get da cheddar Get da cheddar Get - get da cheddar" My people like "Whateva Tryna get da cheddar" My Radical Dilemma is a bit of a problema My people like "Whateva Tryna get da cheddar Get da cheddar, (Tryna) Get da cheddar" (Tryna) My people like "Whateva Tryna get da cheddar" (ya, yo) [Verse 1: G1] Hello, good evening Are you feeling content? Is there food on your table A room to rent? Is your family well? Are you keeping up with your health? Overall, are you happy with that hand you was dealt? Wha-wha-well, enjoy your relative comfort And that spell that you under Time for rude awakening Life is about to change and If you ain't read, then you accept the slavery; We all move on a different pace But I ain't gon' wait for change No bucket, no tin cup No begging for mere crumbs No settling for less than What's needed for living These times of depression, recession ain't what we in Repression and passive consumption is what we feeding the kids "Stay quiet and listen" But we been hearing the same things Since Columbus landed And had the Indians enslaved We need to break them chains Can't make the same mistakes How we gon' make that change Is the dilemma that we face, 'cause [Hook] My Radical Dilemma is a bit of a problema My people like "Whateva Tryna get da cheddar Get da cheddar Get - get da cheddar" My people like "Whateva Tryna get da cheddar" My Radical Dilemma (Dilemma x14) [Verse 2: RodStarz] I'm explosive, I'm atomic; Nagasaki, Hiroshima I'm a disaster; Fuck FEMA We the future, you're a feature I'm in a trapper, the trapper keeper Don't just rap, be a dreamer I'm in the bleachers by the ivy Dangerous like damn spidey I hear sirens while they sizin' You blinded by advertising So your attires look pricey; The bills keep on climbin' So the cards keep on swipin' You passionate with the plastic But you ain't read the fine print Corporations climaxing The climate is crying From the pimping of the planet When they ask me to be passive I'm prepared for direct action I'm sick of paying fines And the money never finds me I'm old school, I rewind it Born champion, I'm reminded Two mic checks, check the rider Three flights, plus a flyer With the whole world invited We touch gold like Midas I see violence like a virus Teargas in my eyelids I don't listen to the righteous I'm at Rikers teaching rhymin' [Outro: Nina Simone] Lots of children have no fear That's the only way I can describe it That's not all of it But it's something to really - really feel
