Good morning, boys and girls.
It's a new day, what we call the morning after.
Ain't nothing changed, though.
Still the same war, yer' head feelin like it exploded last night, right.
1: (Promoe)
All of the people canât be alright all of the time they tell me
But some people seem to have a right to have it all
All of my people letâs unite right now
Donât follow Babylon system because theyâre capitalistic cannibals
Iâm callinâ for equal rights and justice just like the teacher Peter Tosh did
Tryinâ to reach my people in the mush pit at the festivals
Or at the clubs, the cars, the parks, at homes â wherever you choose to roam
Promoe on the microphone, donât care if Iâm right or no I just shoot the foam
Donât know if itâs night or afternoon, but I know itâs the morning after soon
And I know Iâm gonna pass out soon, too fast too soon, bring me back the tune
So I can vibe all night like thereâs no tomorrow
Come with me on a flight, leave this world so shallow
Piece of the pie, keys of the ride, Eâs for the high, dime piece on the side
Thatâs what they all want aintâs it, yâall gonâ feel it morning after, no more laughter
Work in iniquity and we think we are free
Just because we canât see, the sing it with me!
(Promoe & Rantoboko)
Oh yes
- Itâs been a hard dayâs night now itâs a dog day afternoon
Iâm so tired of the world right now
- Itâs been a hard dayâs night now itâs a dog day afternoon
Never wanna wake up no more
- Itâs been a hard dayâs night now itâs a dog day afternoon
Just wanna take it easy
- I am with the people when the world unites...
2: (Timbuktu)
No peace â no justice, theyâre restless, donât need get busted for questions
Seek and trust in affection, plus keep in touch with the checks and
People wieldinâ weapons at each other to keep it covered
And keep it cominâ, the power that be just wanna see the numbers
Would probably eat their mothers, donât really speak to others
Just sit back and watch people fall into deeper slumbers
Of money and materialistic shit
Thatâs unequally distributed
And the things that weâre willing to risk for it, to just get a whiff of it
Ride around town in a crispy whip, get a pretty chick to kiss my lip
I want every day to be like a festival, I wanna kick back have nothing else to do
But eat cake in the park, drink makers mark, swim around the pool like a mako shark
But what am I gonna make the bacon off? And I get no sleep still awake at dawn
All I wanna do is hold my chest out, all you gonna get is totally stressed out
Howlin like a Wolf, screaming like Jay Hawkins
With nightmares of what their dreams might cost them
(Timbuktu & Rantoboko)
Oh yes
- Itâs been a hard dayâs night now itâs a dog day afternoon
Thinkinâ of when times get better
- Itâs been a hard dayâs night now itâs a dog day afternoon
Pointinâ my eyes to the sky
- Itâs been a hard dayâs night now itâs a dog day afternoon
And you know
- Iâm chillinâ with my people... when the world unites
3: (Chords)
All I hear are clocks tickinâ, Iâm stuck in this hot kitchen
in the fuckinâ wok sizzinâ, watchinâ how the plot thickens
Watchinâ all these cops friskinâ little kids for shopliftinâ
Tellinâ em to stop, listen! Run and check the job listings
Nah mister, I donât work for slave wages
I donât want my playstation to trade places with a pacemaker
I just relaxed real cool, sat back looked pass the rules
You and your pack of fools ruined my afternoon
I swear these motherfuckers got a hold of me, bloodsuckers controllinâ me
Wonât let go of me, and they throwinâ me to the wall, but I fall on my own two feet
Could it be cus Iâm rollinâ trees and my block smells like potpourri
With my eyes shot red like the Cyclops in the Odyssey when I go to sleep
It is cus I donât hold the grease? Fuck that man I flow on beats
Fuck the man patrollinâ streets, cuffinâ hands and holdin heat
Iâd rather earn a dollar with a dirty collar
workinâ the early hours for something worth the bother!
(Chords & Rantoboko)
Donât need no 9-5
- Itâs been a hard dayâs night now itâs a dog day afternoon
Not to know that Iâm alive
- Itâs been a hard dayâs night now itâs a dog day afternoon
See I know that time will fly
- Itâs been a had dayâs night now itâs a dog day afternoon
Even if I donât climb inside, and vibe...
- Relaxinâ with my people when the world unites!
