They made the world so hard
Ev-er-y day, we got to keep on fight-ing
They made the world so hard
Ev-er-y day, the peo-ple are dy-ing yeah


Feel it in one drop
And will still have time to rap
We're mak-ing the one stop
And we'll fill in the gap
So feel the drum beat
As it beats with-in
Play-ing a rhy-thm
