Problems
J._Cole Lyrics

Have you heard the news that's goin' 'round here?
Are you aware of what is happening around us?

The man in charge has got to go
The person in power needs to be removed from their position.

'Cause he dances 'round the problem, boy
Because he avoids addressing the issue at hand.

And the problem is the man in charge you know
The root of the problem is the leader in charge.

Now, the young knows what I'm talking 'bout
The younger generation understands what I am saying.

It's a con in the old man's game
It is a dishonest trick played in a game controlled by the older generation.

The man in charge, he don't know what he's doing
The leader is clueless and lacks knowledge on how to handle the situation.

He don't know the world has changed
The leader is not adapting to the dynamic changes happening around us.

Power seems to be so far up
The people in power are so distant from the common people down below.

The man on the street ain't got a clue
The average person is unaware of what is happening in the government.

The high top cat's running your life
The elites are in control of your life without you even realizing it.

Thinks the problem is me and you
They are blaming the common people for the issues created by those in power.

Born in a time that has gone by
Born in a previous era, obsolete to the present day.

The old tell the young what to do
The elder generation is still attempting to control and dictate the younger generation's actions.

The problem is the man in charge of you
The leader in power is responsible for the problem at hand.

The man in charge has to go
The person in power needs to leave their position.

Man in charge has to go
The person in power needs to leave their position.
