Maverick Sabre - We Don't Wanna Be lyrics
rate meFt. Joey Bada$$
(Intro)
(We don't wanna be)
(We don't wanna be)
You'd betta drop
Press yo luck
Time's up!
Muthaf***
(Verse)
Too bluesy, black choosy
A drive-by means slow cruisin'
No 2s-in', it's been no shootin'
No roof and I bake no _____(?)
I just got to breathe, is someone watchin' me?!
Yeah, they gon' let me be, so they stop and they search for my ID
(Pre-Hook x2)
And did you even know we could change this?
Brothers really found me a racist
How'd you tell they're meant to behave
When you're pushing them around on the pavement?
(Interlude)
And even though this does not seem to haunt you
There's many more to change
And you try, and you try, and you
(Hook)
We don't wanna be
So we're not gonna be!
(Retain my madness)
We don't wanna be (insane)
So we're not gonna be
(Trialed by disaster)
We don't wanna be (contained)
So we're not gonna be
(Retained by madness)
We don't wanna be (insane)
So we're not gonna be
(Trialed by disaster)
We don't wanna be!
(Verse 2)
I wonder why, buddy, what ya think of me?
Askin' me my name and arise to me
I got a bag on me and not a thing in it
But they understand, they can handle
I got the ______(?)
Where I can be in hell free
Runnin' alley alley in the parley for pretendance
See see he pretendin' neva crowded
I ain't honest
(Pre-Hook x2)
First the TV was a problem
Now IP PC, I deem to solve it
Turn down the volume
No love, no hug, just thugs in armor
(Interlude)
(Verse 3: Joey)
One time, they shootin', I make the books
I'm a slave to the page that the Times took
Babylon, how my mind shook
_____________(?) reaching for the wrong book
And that's just the way it's set up
They left us, soon or late it ain't the best luck(?!)
Messed up, we against the ________(?)
In Babylon, talk back to my ancestor
Triple Great Gran, I can feel yo pain
Judged by your jewelry, walk with my chain
Judge Judy, not one man should have that power
Even regular widow's official powder
Ain't no country for wise men
Every day I look up at this horror rising
Now the homies arriving, if it's all surprising
Maybe if we'd unified we could survive
(Hook)
