about

The first single from Life No Get Dublicate, a grooving Afrobeat in 7!

lyrics

Stay deep and no down, get out your blind mind
Blind mind
Stay deep and no down, get out your blind mind

Hyenas at night.
You'll recognize them, no doubt
it should give you pause...
He don't pay the price of his ignorance. 
Nothing can justify his performance 
At the mercy of the vices of the street. 
Lost doctrines that fall at his feet
Drunk with ideas which take away reality
He close dem eyes and he think he done put out the sun. 
As the fly trapped in the cobweb
He hang on to the fear and the distrust
He who be different, he must,
He become the enemy, 
It is the industry of terror, the terror industry
Like an old boat, forever moored
On a polluted, abandoned dock
Float on waters of disgust, deep and dark 
Raised with the mindless cultural imposition
Prisoner of collective unconscious prison
Your corrupt soul of social prejudice
Your crucified common sense,
your mutilated consciousness
They gave limit to your being

Dictate who to adulate,
who to venerate,
who to embrace,
who to eliminate

You swim alone in the guilt and the blame
Look for courage in the booze and drug game
The faith in the violence and suffering, moral neglect
You get noticed by your arrogance and lack of respect
Moving the knife in the wounds of the past

The hyena is loose, it bites you in the back, it scavenges for scraps,
But the panther's entrenched, he's got your back
Moving the knife in the wounds of the past
