Two Gallants - Git Proud lyrics

rate me

Listen up because I bear the news<br />

And I do my best to counterfeit some blues<br />

Or better yet just rearrange some truths<br />

I'll tell you what you need to know I choose<br />

Perfection hides inside a diamond ring<br />

But if it don't shine then I don't need to sing<br />

When it does, well that's the word I bring<br />

Pay no mind if it don't mean a thing<br />

<br />

But I see fire and a hard ring starts to fall<br />

And humpty dumpty is climbing higher up the wall<br />

How he got there I just won't recall<br />

No I don't smell nothing strange<br />

All is clean, it's got no stains<br />

Streets are clean while he points the blame<br />

Stricts are new but the bags the same<br />

Time to play that freedom game so just git proud<br />

<br />

So hear this because I am the word<br />

Well, I'm the circus act and you're the herd<br />

But if my remedies seem too absurd<br />

You never notice what you never heard<br />

'Cause I can show you how to kill your time<br />

And I can tell you where to spend your dime<br />

And I can weatherman you when it shines<br />

Just listen up and you'll do fine<br />

<br />

But I see fire and the heavens leave the sky<br />

And humpty dumpty told me not to tell you why<br />

As if I even had reason to try<br />

So here's a tip from me to you<br />

Fear your neighbor 'cause he fears you<br />

You best act white or he'll tell on you<br />

Freedom rings but not for you<br />

If you don't know what to do then just git proud<br />

<br />

There was a protest just the other day<br />

A crowd of hoodlums in disarray<br />

Shaking fists every which way<br />

I can't believe they die their hair that way<br />

What they were asking for I won't recall<br />

Some kind of anarchy, the worst of all<br />

Thank god for us they couldn't pass the wall<br />

Big Brother was there standing tall<br />

<br />

But I see fire and the roof comes tumbling down<br />

And humpty dumpty got a new star spangled crown<br />

He picks a fight and he twirls his guns around<br />

But all his horses and all his men<br />

Must be good 'cause good must win<br />

But don't you doubt a thing my friend<br />

Just grab your flag and jump right in<br />

You're either with us or your them so you best git proud
