Mtume — Deep Freeze Rap-A-Song Part 1

[Intro] - Yeah, man... sittin' here, smokin'... Would you say it again, baby? - For real, man - Yo, yo, let me check- let me check what's on the radio, man. See what lies they tell us now... - Oh, hell yeah - Yo, I'm gonna take a leak... [Radio announcer] Good evening, it's 6 pm, and you're listening to WELI – We Lie Radio, bringing you today's headline news First in the news, the Pentagon has announced it will be donating all of this year's defense budget–the sum of 10.6 quadzillion dollars–in order to aid cancer research. [laughs] The USSR and the United States have united for a space shuttle mission, in order to colonize and build co-ops on various planets in our Solar System. [more laughing] Also, all nuclear weapons worldwide have been disarmed. There has been a state of all-out peace declared In a surprise move, MTV will air 5000 hours of continuous funk. [laughing becomes hysterical] And I've just been handed today's weather bulletin from our dr. Phil Field here at We Lie Radio, and it says that we should all be prepared for a Deep Freeze... [Verse 1] Why is life so hard for me When others live in luxury? Huh, I get fired and they get hired At 21 I might as well be retired Nuclear war right at my door It makes me wonder what I'm living for Because the Big Bomb is the real boss While I'll be lost in the Holocaust Waste billions of dollars every day But people are starving a world away Yes, the rich and famous, teeth in lies While little babies are left to die I won't stay cool, my mind's on hold It's time to go all out, I just get off You do anything, anything you please Good God, I'm for Deep Freeze... [Chorus] The world spins a new sycophantion [?] Thinkin' minds search for a clue Stop that social constipation The plan divides me and you They say rich get rich, you stay poor Wonder what you're workin' for Truth's on strike, overnight Wrong is right, uptight [Post-Chorus] Deep Freeze Ha, ha-honey ho Knocks me to my knees It's a Deep Freeze, ooh! Ha, ha-honey ho Knocks me to my knees Everybody say "huh"! [Verse 2] Well... we're in the Land of the Free, the Home of the Brave But sometimes I still feel like a slave My thoughts are in shackles, my mind's in chains And sometimes I think I'll go insane The American farmer can't even eat 'Cause the government say they can't sell his wheat [?] to the pimp, and they don't care 'Cause they trickling off millions everywhere And listen here, for the elderly Who are suffering in our society The richest land that could ever be But cat food is their delicacy! [Chorus] On my radio, some other voice I hear It's the same game, just a different name On your MTV you make it very clear Want R&B, but not from me (scram!) [Post-Chorus] Deep Freeze Ha, ha-honey ho Knocks me to my knees It's a Deep Freeze, ooh! Ha, ha-honey ho Knocks me to my knees Everybody say "huh"! [Outro] People of the world, let's not fight Let's get together and make it right The time has come for all to see That we can live in unity
