Hundreds & Thousands (Somerville/Steinbachek/Bronski)
Turn your head look around you,
Can't you see things are falling apart?
Mother, time to stop them preparing your children for war.
Ooh, when hard rain falls
Ooh, when hard rain falls
Ooh, when hard rain falls
Ooh, when hard rain falls
Governments and evil lies leading to destruction,
Exploit, degrade, humiliate, communicate with violence.
Ooh when the fascist call what will you do?
Ooh when the fascist call what will you do?
Here he comes this Americain man,
Head so full with a deadly plan,
Says he'll tell you says no lies and blood is dripping
From his hands,
The blood is dripping from his hands.
Ooh when hard rain falls
Ooh when hard rain falls
Ooh when the fascists call what will you do?
Ooh when the fascists call what will you do?
Democracy crumbles, under what will you do?Here here we go from Japan to Romeo
my flow is slow and it's ya know my first time on radio
Now some say I'm foul, some say I'm wild
and that all might be true
but it did not happen overnight
so let me tell my tale to you
It started out when I was six just tellin' dirty jokes
my mother overheard and washed my mouth out with soap
Now as I grew I always knew what it was for me to do
never front just be blunt and always tell the truth
Never fake, I never act like something that I'm not
remember me I'm that foul mouthed kid that lived around your block
You thought that I was crazy like a dog chasin it's tail
and by the time I turned of legal age I'd probably be in jail
In school my teachers thought I was just a foul mouthed freak
now their yearly salary is what I make in just one week
So to thepeople who used to say u think u know it all
maybe I do and maybe I don't but right now I'm standin tall...
And u don't know me
It's funny how one kid can cause so much confusion
Parents should be happy I'm the dop their kids are using
Now some people think this business is all fame and glory
but there's a flip side to that truth so let me kick my story
It took me oh so long to reach the point I'm at
Every time I take one stip forward they push me two steps back
I give an inch they take a mile some try to cramp my style
they try to diss they shoot they miss
I walk off with a smile
But time will pass and I'll out last anyone who doubts me
and the booty naked truth is u don't know shit about me
So when I'm in your town to nearst mic please kindly show me
so u can see what's really me and find out u don't know me
Cuz u don't know me
Now u might wanna party man so here's your party jam
Hey girly in that skirt I want u just like Uncle Sam
Let's knock boots, let's knock boots right down to the nitty gritty
with every drind 'n every blink u seem to get more pretty <
