I say you don't have to be a billionaire to be privileged and protected, seen
Wo yo yo yo. Aye aye hai yeh

No House no money no car no man
No house no money no car no man
No house no money no car no man
I tell you: no house no money no car no man
Yeh yeh yeh

No house no money no car no man
(Wo moy)
This is the shit I know we all can understand
(Weh yeh)
Don't try and front baby boy: hey I de see you
And as for you baby girl, hell yes I been there

No house, no money, no car: not even a man
This is a situation most of us have had
If you need proof of this
Open your newspapers
And what you read will scream how much life seems unfair
For the rest of us
Nah what you  read will scream how much life is unfair
For the rest of us: for the best of us, hey

You see: you'll read most of us will die
Trying not to live some pale half-life why?
Trying not to live some pale half-life why, yeh yeh
(Most of us will die most of us will die)
You see there that last line
That was the crux of this
And knowing what I know I feel I have to spit the truth of this now
Spit the truth of this hey yeah

They keep on trying
They keep on trying
You can't blame the youth today
They keep on trying
Seh! They keep on trying
They keep on trying
You cannot blame the youth today
They keep on trying trying
Even though the communities that they come from keep on dying
Even though the communities that they come from keep on dying

Globalisation!
Gentrification!
Social isolation!
(Oh!)
Desertification!
Ecocide
Genocide
They're not lying

(Hey!)
Said knowing what I know I feel I have to spit the truth of this now
Umhum do I look all that scared? Mek ah tell wunna about them

They took out all the soul
And now they feel no pain, and absolutely no shame
Assisted by all of the rich snitches, bitches, and sellout villains
Buzzed out on French champagne
Ho! The privilege sold out our cultures
To the minstrel train
For all that dollar rain
Causing obscene amounts of dollar pain, iyeh

You see what I can't stand
The system took her voice away, yeh yeh yeh
And what I can't stand
The system took their voice away, yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh

No money no
You know we have to save ourselves
Because this bullshit: is pure invention
We can set a path for liberation with our own intentions

What we need
What we need
Could be hiding inside your grandmother's favourite lessons
Or it could be shining a light inside your last child's very first questions
No house, no money, no car, no man
This is a situation most of us have had
(No money no man)
Although some of you may be too bougie
For this poverty shit to apply
That's understandable, cos are westerners
But for the rest of us

Mm don't be frontin' like you never crumpled crisps on toast
Like you never emptied out your butts
For one last smoke
Like you never had to feen
Cos you were all out of weed
And that fine-ass man you picked up?
He had nothing but seeds
Damn
He had nothing but seeds
Damn
