lirik lagu cream – martyns

intro: (wuse market scene)

verse i

cash ruined everything around me
friends, family, my moral sense
i’d do filthy things
for a bag of shillings
and lie that i wanna help my parents pay the rents
meanwhile i’m just trying to get a benz
in church i gets money for offerings
and that money never ever leaves my hands
nothing is sold in heaven
so why does god want the benjamins?
yeah right, sacrifice
more like, get the pastor something nice
and if that’s not nice enough
pay the pastor t-thes
but it’s whatever
get your money right
even if it means profiting off your people’s plights
aye, some might say “martyns is a heathen.”
my friend shut the f-ck up in fact just stop breathing
somewhere in abuja a mother is still grieving
her daughter drowning
receiving no help after retrieving her body
she was screaming “pleeasee!”
sheratin said the ambulance is only for vips
now her 9 year old daughter forever rests in peace
and it’s the same question asked by the black eyed peas
sometimes i wonder
what type of country this is
where your worth is equal to the worth of your purchases
where goods donated to the idps
are illegally seized and resold for cheese
we are our enemies

verse ii

cash moves whips
cash mutes d-cks
a couple more zeroes and i’d buy her new t-ts
that’s why i stash chips
that’s why he’s six
and the boy roam streets
cleaning windshields in hopes of few tips
news reels skip the fact that the boy skip meals
can’t pay for school and hospital bills
because of the weirdos that p-ss bills
and steal thousands of mills
but the truth is
in a few years
if the dude lives
he’ll morph into what society fears
frustrated jobless youth
mobbing with his peers
crack the windows to your venza
f-ck you and your kids
put your money in his hands
and your iphone 6
please, report to the police?
no needs if you’re dropping zero g’s
no connections? no leads
we proceeds to sow seeds in fields with low yields
many drown
few grow gills
put the former in the ground
plant daffodils
on their remains
the naira turns babys and slims
into abels and cains
you know being dead broke comes with too much pain
hang with the wrong crowd
add too much shame
i know what you go through
feeling like the world owes you
breakthrough overdue
can’t reach your potential
doubts start to creep in
“will i ever be successful?”
anxiety entirely
takes over your mind and your body
head sp-ce rowdy
life looking cloudy
can’t make a proper living off what you earn hourly
time keeps ticking
you have to keep kicking
hard times – for these times
charles d-ckens

outro:

me nuh tink a man s’posse to live like this
sacrifice your family and life for that paper chase
replace your godman for the workplace
you man better put a mask upon your face

is abomination!
is abomination!
is abomination upon the nation!
