"The System is designed to own you"

lyrics

This is a warning
The system is appalling

Heartache
Heartache
Heartache the system is designed to own you
Heartache trick you den dem get yu
Heartache that’s what I’m telling you
Heartache the system is designed to own you eh

Cudda spend some time complaining bout every little detail of the day
No sah, no way, not me
I stay away from dashing blames
Choose not to live my life in shame eh
The word is out the system hate Rastafari
Cause we carry the light to positively change common pickney minds eh eh eh eh eh


The system set a way can you hear me when I say
Not one thing in life is free
The system set a way can you hear me when I say
Can’t beg your way to victory

Heartache trick you den dem get yu
Heartache that’s what I’m telling you
Heartache the system is designed to own you

No use in trying to think you’re special
We’re all on the same train as the beast feasts to win

The system set a way can you hear me when I say
Not one thing in life is free
The system set a way can you hear me when I say
Can’t beg your way to victory

Red hot paper chase
Red hot check the pace
How is it that we ended up like this?
Dredlocks say hold your reins
Slow your roll for longer days
In your day to day seek Rastafari’s guidance
In your day to day seek Rastafari’s guidance

Heartache trick you den dem get yu
Heartache that’s what I’m telling you
Heartache the system is designed to own you
Heartache trick you den dem get yu
Heartache that’s what I’m telling you
Heartache the system is designed to own you
