Redrama Lyrics

Verse 1

When you're weary and tired
Would I lend you my lighter?
Would I tell you good-by or would I defend you through
Fire?
Would I carry your weight,
Or say have it your way?
Just panic and say: "I know it's tragic but hey...
I'm generating my money, they aint taking my money"
Cus people who share usually get mistaken for dummies
In the age of greed, the age of need mother earth
Screwed and we're setting the rapist free
But I refuse to think
People are selfish the people I choose to spend time
With are selfless
Lot of people got dealt with,
A poor set of cards a poor number of jobs
So now numbers a starve
I hate to look in the mirror
Cus the image is blurry and I'm too busy to worry
So I live in a hurry so if you think of it really
I'm both rich and a crook
Cus I eat everyday and still bitch in my hook.

Chorus

I go for mine
And you go for yours
But I won't survive if you don't support
If I close my eyes and you close your door
Then hate multiplies and we lose it all.
I look in the mirror,
Trying to see a better man
A better man, a better man (be, be) a better man, (be,

Be) a better man

Verse 2

War's religion driven, of course we thinking different
We're lost, we're killing children in the name of
I'd put family first, so if my family's hurt
And worse come to worse, I'd go to jail, done.
So there I go, I got me a problem dropping a bomb on
Bin Laden's not gonna stop it evolving
Lost souls speaking chat-room morse-code
But life's a too long road to walk alone though
No man is an island, I'll be damned if I'm lying
I aint planning to die alone, I'm planning to grow
And still I had to burn some bridges cus somehow it
Seems that the devil learned my digits
I try to make the best with
What I was blessed with
Karma's a bitch and I feel her breath on my neck kid
The way I lived my life is not that righteous
Had to be on the dark to recognize the light when

Chorus (x2)

I go for mine
And you go for yours
But I won't survive if you don't support
If I close my eyes and you close your door
Then hate multiplies and we lose it all.
I look in the mirror,
Trying to see a better man




A better man, a better man (be, be) a better man, (be,
Be) a better man
