Can't afford to let the system
Drive me mad
And if my brother wisen up from being a victim

You may not be lucky, lucky

Make no sense try holding me back
His Majesty already told me that
Listen more and slowly chat yeaaa
So be strongg
And let your conscious set you free
Do no wrong
Never reach back for me

Would life be the same way
For baby yea yeaa
Who was born from a lady yeaaa
Who's haf crazeey yea yeaaa
Would life be the same way
For baby yea yeaa
Who has no food from yesterday
