Dispear
Nas & Damian Marley Lyrics
Lord! Dispear, huh!
Shaka Zulu, Bobo Shanti, Nyabinghi man a Mau Mau Warrior, dispear, eh
Fear and desperation no depression can't tarry ya, dispear, hey
Ayatollah, Idi Amin, Mennelek, man a Masai Warrior, dispear, eh
Fear and desperation no depression can't tarry ya, this spear
Like burning spirits and such and such before me
Who all fought for the cause and, dispear, eh
Enforcing all the laws and
The master of the masses
Guns are power controlled by assets owned by financial forecasters
Who are the masters? They are the gangsters, they are the bankers
The ones who tax us, the masses, they are us
The sheep, the people, divided in classes
I go off like a shia bomb and all y'all see I'm on my
War paint on my face, shit
My nine mm on my waist, shit
I'm a problem, shoot up your place shit
Let a few go, then I get low blazing Haze again
The masters, the wall street war chiefs
The elitists groups, the masses
They pray to Jesus saying he will see us through
The masters are the aristocratic
The masses ask if the most high is on his way here
I'm trying to stay clear, my mind is my modern day spear
Hey I say, dispear, huh!
Shaka Zulu, Bobo Shanti, Man a Gideon man a Mau Mau Warrior, dispear, eh
Fear and desperation no depression can't tarry ya, dispear, hey
Through the hands of time and cruel men it has slew more than a billion, dispear, eh
It keep on suppressing the humble man's opinion
This lead into Swiss cheese when the 5th squeeze
Mislead the media misleads
Scares you to the point where you miss sleep
With that said this lead with this Ruger and that shooter
Sub-machine gun ratta tat through you
Copper tops, hollow points will do ya something bad our future
Is Mislead three strikes
There's no school when a teacher strikes
This economy, this monopoly get no job just own your property
Now it's back to what comes natural
Must survive any how you have to
Dispear, desperation but I have no fear when I hold this spear
Mek some bwoy know mi nah smile 'cause this spear nah mek friends
Man a run racket man a run scheme man a run race man a run down Benz
Can't trust a she nor we nor eye inna contact lens
Man a run from police and a run down wealth and dollars and nah mek sense
So, rise up to my defense
Hollow pointed is my preference
Should have been deterred don't know what you heard
Get referred by the wrong reference
When this spear start dispense
It a fly and a tear through fence
Dismember your members and all of your limbs body bust inna nuff segments
Well, man a run drugs man a run risk
Man all a run out a time and ends
Man a run up and down and a run fi dem life and a run down this month rent
Nothin' nah gwan a yard and food deh a road then man hafi go touch pavement
Dispear was a tool that was used to enslave man and mek manservant
Escape from despair and desperation becomes more urgent
Mankind needs to cleanse and wash out dem soul with spiritual detergent
A distant army a distant relative controlling the circumference
And any man move with no permission they're feeling the circumstance of
Dispear, hey
Shaka Zulu, Bobo Shanti, Man a, eh man a Mau Mau Warrior, dispear, eh!
Fear of your recession and depression can't tarry ya, dispear, hey
Inner city youth dem rise it up disguised as AK-47, dispear, eh!
And anytime them clap it up the whole city level , dispear
Like burning spear and such and such before I
Who all fought for the cause and, dispear, eh!
They can't ignore me, no!

The Master of the Masses
One has power
The other one lacks it
Guns are power
Controlled by assets
Owned by financial forecasters
Who are the Masters?
They are the Gangsters
They are the bankers
The ones who tax us
The Masses

The sheep, the people
Divided in classes
I go off like a Shite bomb
And All ya'll see I'm on my
War paint on my face, shit
My nine mm on my waist, shit
I'm a problem
Shoot up your place shit
Let a few go
Then I get low
Blazing Haze again

Escape from Despair and Desperation
Becomes more urgent
Mankind needs to cleanse and wash out dem soul
With spiritual detergent

A distant relative
Controlling the circumference
And any man move with no permission

What do you think of Africa?
Africa, Africa
Ha ha ha, Africa
Just, just the mention of it
Just the mention of it, man
It's like you call me name, man
Well you know Africa is motherland
And Africa is were we rightfully belong
And that's were I want to be
