lyrics

Da System (Lyrics)

You know Im never satisfied with this shitiuation that we call society
Cause every day of our lives we sit by a watch the masses suffering from dis-ease
This poverty has got to cease
If we are to achieve peace
Cause if propaganda’s what we show on every scene
Then propaganda shall be sewn unto our seeds
________
Well Da system was designed to rule
Spreading they’re propaganda, mass media’s the tool
Da system was designed to rule
Wise youths better stand firm don’t be played for a fool
Da system was designed to rule
Don’t be just a sheep, it’s your life you got to choose, well
Da system was designed to rule
Walk into the light and you shall see the truth.
—————

Mama earths melting while we're frozen in time,
fighting over feelings by programming minds
Creating thoughts that blind, the eyes, from the sign, of this same old game
Here What, we've been playin far too long
Full time we gotta teach Jah children right from wrong.
__________
Well Da system was designed to rule
Spreading they’re propaganda, mass media’s the tool
Da system was designed to rule
Wise youths better stand firm don’t be played for a fool
Da system was designed to rule
Don’t be just a sheep, it’s your life you got to choose, well
Da system was designed to rule
Walk into the light and you shall see the truth. (x2)

You know Im never satisfied with this shitiuation that we call society
Cause every day of our lives we sit by a watch the masses suffering from dis-ease
This poverty has got to cease
If we are to achieve peace
Cause if propaganda’s what we show on every scene
Then propaganda shall be sewn unto our seeds
