Album: In the Mood for Life

Come on, Wax Tailor
Wax Tailor on the beat once again
State of mind for the bland
Check it out, say yes, say yes, say yes!

Say Yes if you think that you should speak what you feel
Say Yes for the artists still keeping it real
Say Yes, and if you got the spirit stand tall and say
Yes Yes Y'all... Yes Yes Y'all!

Say No to the bloodsucking downpresser man
Say No if you're ready for some Buckshackalang
Say No if you're fed up and ready to brawl then say
No Way Y'all... No Way Y'all

This one is for the refugees and child soldiers
Carrying the weight of the world upon their shoulders
The homeless and few true microphonists
Not afraid to raise their fists and use the groove against opponents
The horns are for the Haitians and rhyme for Rwanda
Kick it for the Congo on the one for Obama
And bring the drama like a suicide bomber
For the people of Tibet and the Dalai Lama
Ima pass it over 'cause I'm too vexed to keep on..
The kinda crap designed to make you clap yet we weep on
The trees gone, cut, all across the globe
Can't nobody see we've had a Holocaust before
So what's the cost of hope, and that of a democracy
Liberty, freedom and equality, you follow me
A call to peace now's pivotal, lyrical,
Spiritual cleansing of minds the strike's critical

Say Yes if you think that you should speak what you feel
Say Yes for the artists still keeping it real
Say Yes, and if you got the spirit stand tall and say
Yes Yes Y'all... Yes Yes Y'all!

Say No to the bloodsucking downpresser man
Say No if you're ready for some Buckshackalang
Say No if you're fed up and ready to brawl then say
No Way Y'all... No Way Y'all

One, two, three
Condition red. Repeat, condition red.
This is not an exercise
Repeat, this is not an exercise.

Too long have eyes been closed and blindfolded
A new dawn is rising now, the mind's old enough
To know the stuff going on behind our backs
Roll with us, and you might get to find the facts
Mind the gap and lift up your voices
Fists up, rejoice, it's a switch in the choices
We must make, bust fake trust great minds
For the sake of our sons and daughters yo let's ride!
Next up fire pon the wicked dem Kick a blend
One time for the parasites using bricks and pens
To follow whims and exploit fellow man
Stay cloudy, allow me to quote Yellowman with the
"Zunguzungzuguzunguzeng!"
Manipulating roosters , neglecting the hens
Step to the end of the deepest dark forest
Where hands are empty but the souls are victorious

Say Yes if you think that you should speak what you feel
Say Yes for the artists still keeping it real
Say Yes, and if you got the spirit stand tall and say
Yes Yes Y'all... Yes Yes Y'all!

Say No to the bloodsucking downpresser man
Say No if you're ready for some Buckshackalang
Say No if you're fed up and ready to brawl then say
No Way Y'all... No Way Y'all

Young soldiers at attention!
Dig a trench and oh, did we forget to mention..?
We got the Tailor on the tables, reinvention of guerrilla warfare
Dodging silver bullets as we're leaping through the crosshairs
All clear, and ready for attack mode
About to bridge event horizon of the black hole
The last bowl of soup has been slurped
See we gotta come together to make this thing work!

Say Yes if you think that you should speak what you feel
Say Yes for the artists still keeping it real
Say Yes, and if you got the spirit stand tall and say
Yes Yes Y'all... Yes Yes Y'all!

Say No to the bloodsucking downpresser man
Say No if you're ready for some Buckshackalang
Say No if you're fed up and ready to brawl then say
No Way Y'all... No Way Y'all
