Look, don't you see?
So much talk 'bout the truth, some are talk in hypocrisy
No animosity, but them philosophy don't deal
With the fruits of the roots of their atrocities
Them aristocracies deal out your culture
Try fe kill off the youth, try to kill off the suffrah
No more apologies, but them corrupt us
When the rougher get rough
Then the tougher get tougher

Don't hold on so tight
What you putting in you're getting out of life
Can't quench them appetite
Them always beg for more, more, more, more

Now check them procedures, them rob, steal and cheat ya
Put a knife in a your back
No, them not them their brother's keeper
Yes Mr. Preacher, pockets getting deeper
Slice a little piece of heaven by your Benz and your Beemer
Your grim reaper want to cut us down
Black, red, yellow either white or brown
We wear the crown, lord, we chant the sound
Keep the faith and the destiny
Our time is now

Don't hold on so tight
What you putting in you're getting out of life
Can't quench them appetite
Them always beg for more, more, more, more

Ching, ching-a-ling-a-ling can't spare no change
Want the bigger and better things, no one is
Won't save away for rainy days
Is it love or is it money, Lord, that fades away?
If no humility then no tranquility
Wars of religion put the innocent in prison
Their falling victim to them ambition
Words of the wise, no
Don't want to listen

Don't hold on so tight
What you putting in you're getting out of life
Can't quench them appetite
Them always beg for more, more, more, more

Higher days, higher days
Searching for the higher days
Higher ways, higher ways
Love is the only way

What are you living for, giving for this conscious life?
How we gonna live in a
Poor people
But we live in a system that don't value any life
Equal rights and justice only serves a few
How we gonna do to make a prisoner out of you?
Got no say in them screw
But we know Babylon, we can burn fiyah too!

Higher days, higher days... Searching for the higher days
Higher ways, higher ways... Love is the only way
