lyrics

This is where the buck cease
Friend or a foe, what it be?
I put my people over greed
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck cease
Friend or a foe ,what it be?
I put my people over greed
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck

I made a foreign legacy
You a foreign entity
Fellowshiping with the beast
Get the cracker get the cheese
When you out the door, you might get a soul
But it'll be under they feet
When they kick you to the curb
Where do you think you gon' get ya piece?
Screamin and grittin' ya teeth
Throwin' your fists in the breeze
Suck it up and let it be
You been preparing the sheets
Made the bed where you must sleep
You been asleep
I hope you keep that energy
When you is forced to live with your sworn enemies
Who gon' pick up all the pieces
Promise it ain't gon be me
It ain't gon be me who gives you a table to sit
You been away for a bit
The ranks are filed, the labels are fixed
And nobody saving you shhhh
And it gon' be comical
You doin' the prodigal thing
Seen you walk like a king
But now

This is where the buck cease
Friend or a foe, what it be?
I put my people over greed
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck cease
(You keep buckin' fo 'em, buckin fo 'em)
Friend or a foe, what it be?
(Where you stand? Where you stand?)
I put my people over greed
(I put my people over greed)
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck

Thought you was cut from the cloth
But now you just buck for the boss
Tried to get my opinion across
But now I'm just cuttin' my loss
Debatin' with you was a trip
When I was speakin' I came to the realisation
I'm grieving the death of somebody still breathin'
While I'm in mid conversation
I moved out a house made of glass a few years ago
So I ain't got no problem throwin' a stone
That carries the weight of the struggles of people
All over the globe
Folks that you don't hesitate to insult
Sayin' "you needa get over the boats"
Tellin 'em "you needa strap up ya boots"
Like they don't got boots that are struck on they throats
You keep askin' me questions
Like we ain't been givin' you answers
We see the strings
You playin' the part
You're tryna be a good dancer
Pop for Master
Like you the favourite crown
Your get up kinda suits you now

This is where the buck cease
Friend or a foe, what it be?
I put my people over greed
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck cease
(You keep buckin' fo 'em, buckin fo 'em)
Friend or a foe, what it be?
(Where you stand? Where you stand?)
I put my people over greed
(I put my people over greed)
Some get they bucks for tappin' feet
I'll get mine when we get free
This is where the buck
