Cadenza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not like i don't know
Repeating on this history
Running in circles like i got no place to go
So how you gonna say to me
The streets are paved with gold
I know the ins and outs of every opportunity
People don't you see what's happening,
People, aint nobody laughing oh no, but you know
That we don't stand a chance at all
People don't you see what's happening
People aint nobody laughing but you know
That we don't stand a chance at all
And we aint doing nothing wrong
But your finger points to blame
When shadows are your enemies
Tell me how you gonna run away
And oh well dress me as you please
Nothings ever what it seems
I care, you care
That we don't stand a chance at all
So people can't you see what's happening
People
Aint nobody laughing oh no, but you know
That we don't stand a chance at all
What you gonna do when ja kingdom come
Cannot get away from the burning sun
When your fiya a go blaze
You better change your wa
Cos we don't stand a chance at all
People
People
Oh no
That we don't stand a chance at all
People
People
Oh no
That we don't stand a chance at all
The lyrics of Cadenza's song People deliver a powerful message about the struggles of life and society's unattainable expectations. The singer begins by expressing frustration with someone who is telling them something they already know. They feel like they are trapped in a cycle, running in circles with no destination in sight. The next verse touches on the idea of the American Dream, with the singer acknowledging that they know what opportunities exist but also recognizing that they will never be the richest or most successful person in the world.
The chorus is the central message of the song, urging people to open their eyes to what is truly happening around them. The tone is urgent and almost desperate, emphasizing that people need to take action before it's too late. The second verse focuses on the idea of blame and how society tends to point fingers without taking responsibility for its own shortcomings. The final lines are a warning of what's to come if things don't change, with references to the burning sun and the need to change one's ways.
Overall, the song serves as a call to action, urging people to wake up and take a stand against societal norms and expectations that are not fair or attainable for everyone.
