 Lyrics for Album: Distant Relatives [2010]
 
 
 
 36769>[African Choir Intro]
 
 
 
 [Jr. Gong - Chorus 1]
 
 Lord!
 
 This Spear, huh!
 
 Shaka Zulu, Bobo Shanti, Nyabinghi
 
 Man a Mau Mau Warrior
 
 Despair, eh
 
 Fear and desperation no depression can't tarry ya
 
 This Spear, hey
 
 Ayatollah, Idi Amin, Mennelek,
 
 Man a Masai Warrior
 
 Despair, eh
 
 Fear and desperation no depression can't tarry ya
 
 This Spear
 
 Like BURNING SPEAR
 
 AND SUCH AND SUCH BEFORE ME
 
 Who all fought for the cause and
 
 This Spear, eh
 
 Enforcing all the laws
 
 
 
 [Nas - Verse 1]
 
 The Master of the Masses
 
 One has power
 
 The other one lacks it
 
 Guns are power
 
 Controlled by assets
 
 Owned by financial forecasters
 
 Who are the Masters?
 
 They are the Gangsters
 
 They are the bankers
 
 The ones who tax us
 
 The Masses
 
 They are us
 
 The sheep, the people
 
 Divided in classes
 
 I go off like a Shite bomb
 
 And All ya'll see I'm on my
 
 War paint on my face, shit
 
 My nine mm on my waist, shit
 
 I'm a problem
 
 Shoot up your place shit
 
 Let a few go
 
 Then I get low
 
 Blazing Haze again
 
 The Masters, The Wall Street War Chiefs
 
 The Elitists Groups
 
 The Masses
 
 They pray to Jesus
 
 Saying he will see us through
 
 The Masters are the aristocratic
 
 The Masses
 
 Ask if the Most High
 
 Is On his way here
 
 I'm trying to stay clear
 
 My mind is my modern day Spear
 
 
 
 [Jr. Gong - Chorus 2]
 
 Hey
 
 I say...
 
 This Spear, huh!
 
 Shaka Zulu, Bobo Shanti, Man a Gideon
 
 Man a Mau Mau Warrior
 
 Despair, eh
 
 Fear and desperation no depression can't tarry ya
 
 This Spear, hey
 
 Through the hands of time and cruel men
 
 It has slew more than a billion
 
 Despair, eh
 
 It keep on suppressing the humble man's opinion
 
 
 
 [Nas - Verse 2]
 
 This lead into Swiss cheese
 
 When the 5th squeeze
 
 Mislead
 
 The media Misleads
 
 Scares you to the point
 
 Where you miss sleep
 
 With that said
 
 This lead with this Ruger
 
 And that shooter
 
 Sub-machine gun
 
 Ratta tat through you
 
 Copper tops, hollow points
 
 Will do ya something bad
 
 Our future
 
 Is Mislead
 
 Three strikes
 
 There's no school
 
 When a teacher strikes
 
 This economy
 
 This monopoly
 
 Get no job
 
 Just own your property
 
 Now it's back to
 
 What comes natural
 
 Must survive any how you have to
 
 Despair, Desperation
 
 But I have no fear
 
 When I hold This Spear
 
 
 
 [Intermission]
 
 
 
 [Jr. Gong - Bridge]
 
 Mek some bwoy know mi nah smile
 
 Cause this spear nah beg friends
 
 Man a run racket
 
 Man a run scheme
 
 Man a run race
 
 Man a run down Benz
 
 Can't trust a she nor we nor eye
 
 Inna contact lense
 
 Man a run from police
 
 And a run down wealth
 
 And dollars and nah mek sense
 
 
 
 [Jr. Gong - Verse 3]
 
 So,
 
 Rise up to my defense
 
 Hollow pointed is my preference
 
 Should have been deterred
 
 Don't know what you heard
 
 Get referred
 
 By the wrong reference
 
 When this spear start dispense
 
 It a fly and a tear through fence
 
 Dismember your members
 
 And all of your limbs
 
 Body bust inna nuff segments
 
 Well,
 
 Man a run drugs
 
 Man a run risk
 
 Man all a run out a time and ends
 
 Man a run up and down
 
 And a run fi dem life
 
 And a run down this month rent
 
 Nutin' nah gwan a yard
 
 And food deh a road
 
 Then man hafi go touch pavement
 
 Despair was a tool
 
 That was used to enslave man
 
 And mek manservant
 
 Escape from Despair and Desperation
 
 Becomes more urgent
 
 Mankind needs to cleanse and wash out dem soul
 
 With spiritual detergent
 
 A distant army
 
 A distant relative
 
 Controlling the circumference
 
 And any man move with no permission
 
 They're feeling the circumstance of
 
 
 
 [Jr. Gong - Chorus 4]
 
 This Spear, hey
 
 Shaka Zulu, Bobo Shanti, Man a, eh
 
 Man a Mau Mau Warrior
 
 Despair, eh!
 
 Fear of your recession and depression can't tarry ya
 
 This Spear, hey
 
 Inner city youth dem rise it up disguised as AK-47
 
 This Spear, eh!
 
 And anytime them clap it up the whole city level
 
 This Spear
 
 Like Burning Spear
 
 And such and such before I
 
 Who all fought for the cause and
 
 This Spear, eh!
 
 They can't ignore me
 
 No!
