The Yoke (G.U.O.T.R.) |
| If you seek with open eyes and mind |
| Anything you’re looking for you’ll find |
| I’m just out here searching for respect |
| Keep reaching for the top I’ll be the best |
| Get the yoke off my back |
| Gonna use my intellect to get the yoke off my back |
| Gotta get the yoke off my back, give myself a chance |
| Get the yoke off my back |
| Gotta get up on the rhythm, get up |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm |
| Get this yoke off my back |
| Gotta get up on the rhythm, get up |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm |
| Get this yoke off my back |
| It’s not whips and chains that make a slave |
| It’s the power of the rhythm in the brain |
| Can’t live everyday locked in a trance |
| Gotta break this bondage to have a chance |
| Don’t like oppression, don’t like rejection |
| I like perfection, a clear perception |
| Gotta get this yoke off my back |
| Gonna give myself a chance |
| To get this yoke off my back |
| Gotta get this yoke off my back, gonna use my intellect |
| To get this yoke off my back |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm, get up |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm, get this yoke off my back |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm, get up |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm, get this yoke off my back |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm get up |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm, get this yoke off my back |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm, get up |
| T gotta get up on the rhythm, get this yoke off my back |
| I feel a lot better when the yoke is off my back |
| Get up on the rhythm |
| The only key to freedom |
| Mental state of being, all seeing |
| You’ve been holding me back for too long |
| The time is now, to sing my song |
| How long will the years of oppression |
| Stop progression that is the question |
| I refuse to lose or be used by the yoke |
| No joke |
| Now tell me do you see what I see |
| Who says we’re free, in this society |
| Things have changed but I still feel chained down |
| It’s all the same, rearranged, my skin’s still brown |
| Tight as a rope now cut me some slack |
| What is this thing that’s been placed on my back |
| Why does the yoke want to leave me for dead |
| Think for a second, it’s all in your head |
| Gotta get up on the rhythm, get up |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm |
| Get this yoke off my back |
| Gotta get up on the rhythm, get up |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm |
| Get this yoke off my back |
| Gotta get up on the rhythm, get up |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm |
| Get this yoke off my back |
| Gotta get up on the rhythm, get up |
| I gotta get up on the rhythm |
| Get this yoke off my back |
| If you want me to pull ya, I’m not a mule |
| I’m not a beast of burden |
| I’m not your average tool |
| And if you ever need to know, what’s goin' on |
| Let me open up your eyes before the view is gone |
