Dam (N)

Yeah
Uh
I’m in the trenches, they on the benches
Talking tough talk, I put them on my shitlist
They so clueless, they call it business
the US?
None of your business
What’s good for the goose, good for the gander
Should put my thoughts on leaflets, let’s call it propaganda
I left my to-do list up in my daily planner
You can tell I’m African by my daily manners
Monkey see, monkey do, I guess it’s all bananas
A child of the night, but he never wore pajamas
Sometimes hurtin', the burden, so enormous
Clinging on the flea market and false promise
And to be honest, I never seen a zebra in my life
Just Adidas black and white stripes
And I never knew J.C. Penny or Fischer-Price
Only
An invisible man in the land of the invisible hand
Trying to eat a decent meal twice
A day in the life, living by the edge of the knife
Makes it harder and harder for me to be polite
A hungry man is an angry man
And if you pale in comparison, get you a tan
Call me Volta River Akosombo I give a damn
Making hydroelectric power to power my plant
