Lyrics

Promises, promises, promises, promises
But we learn there's no hope in the words that you give
There cannot be peace if your foot is on our neck
For sure there's going to be civil unrest, yes
'Cause words are not enough to ease the pain, no
Faith without the works cannot sustain, oh no
No more dirty policies
What we need is opportunity
A chance to make a change
So it's time to pull your weight
'Cause I see prisons replacing the schools and I
See you making a game of the people's lives
The only job for the youths are big guns for hire, whoa yes
But there's gonna be some changes up in here
We ain't gonna take your talk no longer, oh no, I
Words are not enough to ease the pain, no
Faith without the works cannot sustain, oh no
No more dirty policies
What we need is opportunity
A chance to make a change
So it's time to pull your weight
Promises, promises, promises, promises
But we learn there's no hope in the words that you give
There cannot be peace now if your foot is on our neck, oh yeah
For sure there's gonna be some retaliation
Up in here, you know what I'm saying?
Rah!
Words are not enough to ease the pain, no
Faith without the works cannot sustain, oh no
No more empty promises
What we need is productivity
Action to make a change
So it's time to pull your weight
Action talk and bullshit walk
So deliver the goods now boss
Action talk and bullshit walk
So deliver the goods now boss
No labba labba no more, labba labba
No labba labba no more, labba labba
No labba labba no more, labba labba
No labba labba no more
Words are not enough to ease the pain, no
Faith without the works cannot sustain, oh no
No more dirty policies
What we need is opportunity
A chance to make a change
So it's time to pull your weight
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough to ease the pain, no
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough to ease the pain
