Sick Asylum by Tafa Lyrics
Chorus (Samuel) :
The sick asylum
Walking the pavements of this sick asylum
We seek asylum
Like a child bailing his vile mum
Verse 1 (Tafa):
Earplugs on as I walked the pavement
I thought to myself what the rave meant
Brooms in the air, umbrellas for the cheer
I stare into this stirring sight for the care
What’s the bone of contention?
I mean the result of the convention?
Did I mention Bod man stunk of pension
Tension, before Corleone intervention
Every four years we demonstrate some crazy
In the wilderness, maybe they’re thinking wavy
29th or 12th, why the merriment?
Every lie they speak to our detriment
Away with the sentiment, none of them heaven sent
From Maradona to this prophet I see no changes
See strange exchanges, nepotism ranges
Hurtful what this evil system arranges
Chorus (Samuel) :
The sick asylum
Walking the pavements of this sick asylum
We seek asylum
Like a child bailing his vile mum
Verse 2 (Tafa):
Riddle me Biafra and Zuma erection
A certain fabrication for the next election
See senate selections such sensation
Arrant altercations, lets give em’ an ovation
The times, I ain’t talking magazines
Unemployment got youths living on Maga means
Core eruption of values by corruption
We need a revolution, not a Libyan disruption
Let’s stay woke, hard as we stay broke
Man no go chop, that’s our grey joke
Stray stroke rebel I take arms against the devil
I revel, never settle against dudes that embezzle
Pot calls black kettle, they’re the same mettle
No medals for folks, immoral mortals mud meddle
This is my quest for love, your food for thought
My tribe on a trotter diet, vibes and stuff your thought
Chorus (Samuel) :
The sick asylum
Walking the pavements of this sick asylum
We seek asylum
Like a child bailing his vile mum
Verse 3 (Sun Sedek):
Broadcasting live from a sick asylum
Insane enough to make you seek asylum
Like refugees flee political clime
Election violence where heads roll like wheels spinning on chrome with the skull design customizing
Let me get off poetry for a bit
Show you how two opposite universes coexist
Same year the UN ranks us 6th happiest in Africa, we record the most suicide attempts
They stole the mace now the ayes have it
Masses roam stranded they eyes blinded
Like brides jilted before they lift the veil
Around here there's ways around shit, either bribe justice itself or get to praying that God weighs in to tip the scale
Need I remind you the asinine youth that kill for fast money its Armageddon
They act like its over crowded in Jah's heaven
So on earth they wanna save room like kids when they mimic the car revving
Chorus (Samuel) :
The sick asylum
Walking the pavements of this sick asylum
We seek asylum
Like a child bailing his vile mum
The sick asylum
Walking the pavements of this sick asylum
We seek asylum
Like a child bailing his vile mum
