lyrics

SET IT OFF

VERSE 1:
Im a crazy 80s baby
The decade of turmoil
State of emergency
A country in a frenzy
Whitey couldnt stand the arm struggle
Strength in numbers
Had to keep the hustle
Kill the racist muscle
Dethrone kings in castles
Fools drinkin Amstels
Poisoned peasants muffled
Kids in streets scuffles
Police push oppression
Frontline aggression
Shoot on site massacres
Now all i ask is this...

HOOK:

Mr officer why u chasin me in these streets damn u so fast

(Why huh?!!!)

Mr officer why u grabbin me so ruff this so unfair

(What did i do?!!!)

Mr officer why u wanna beat me wit that sjambok like that?

(come on man!!!)

Mr officer why u wanna shoot me
wit that gun on my back?

CHORUS:

And the Guns go...
And the Kids go...
Set it off!!!

VERSE 2:

Flash forward
Quarter of a century
Now i possess an armoury
None of them can fuck with me
War is my artistry
Death is their penalty
My scars bare the memory
Of being fucked in my own territory
They planted a seed in my brain
To fight their system, always bring pain
No sleep plottin til im insane
War vet fightin them who brought shame
To my people our land is a disgrace
Manipulated on a daily to be waste
Miseducated purposefully to be slaves
To follow duties from these bullies all day
Now its time to make them all pay
Take back what they owe with AKs
Shoot them in their brain for mass rapes
Show the sufferin wasnt in vain

CHORUS:

And our Guns will go...
And their Kids will go...
Set it off!!!

OUTRO:
Yeah, we set'n it off
With the force of nature
What goes around
Comes back around Fo-fo'd
Lay em down put em down
They startin to look like somethin to eat.
LETS HAVE A FEAST, BON APPETIT!!!
