Politics on the Playground by Tigerman WOAH! Lyrics
Remember at 6 years old
Hanging off them monkey bar poles
You know you got to watch your back
And the only way to survive is friends, make 'em with who'er ya can
And hope them big guys leave you alone
But that only last so long, they come for you they come for everyone
Ya know them big guys from the playground
Can't let 'em run your life
When you're just 14 years old
First day of high school
And you don't know where to sit
Oh 'cause where you do will it decide your fate?
For the next four years
Or for the rest of your life, and you wanna choose right
No!
Ya I learned politics from a playground
Ya I learned politics from a beatdown at 9 years old
And over and over again
Ya I learned more from that playground
When I learned how to take a beatdown, and over again
I won't roll over again
Just who are your friends? We mapped our enemies out on
The playground like the country side of '49
Surrounded school like a city
People's war on the bullies show 'em no pity
Mao Tse-tung twisters on the bus, build the united front
Well I learned politics on a playground
I learned politics from a beatdown at 9 years old
And over and over again
I learned more from that playground
When I learned how to take a beatdown, at 9 years old
And over and over again
And school bosses don't do a damn thing
You need to bring the people with ya
Or they'll beat you, remember that
Learned united front at 9 years old
From a battle on the bus
Learned politics from a play ground
Ya I learned politics from a beat down
It's war out there I said
It's war
No!
Well I learned politics from a playground
Ya I learned politics from a beatdown at 9 years old
And over and over again
Ya I learned united front on a playground
When I learned how to take a beatdown at 9 years old
I won't roll over again
Hanging off them monkey bar poles
You know you got to watch your back
And the only way to survive is friends, make 'em with who'er ya can
And hope them big guys leave you alone
But that only last so long, they come for you they come for everyone
Ya know them big guys from the playground
Can't let 'em run your life
When you're just 14 years old
First day of high school
And you don't know where to sit
Oh 'cause where you do will it decide your fate?
For the next four years
Or for the rest of your life, and you wanna choose right
No!
Ya I learned politics from a playground
Ya I learned politics from a beatdown at 9 years old
And over and over again
Ya I learned more from that playground
When I learned how to take a beatdown, and over again
I won't roll over again
Just who are your friends? We mapped our enemies out on
The playground like the country side of '49
Surrounded school like a city
People's war on the bullies show 'em no pity
Mao Tse-tung twisters on the bus, build the united front
Well I learned politics on a playground
I learned politics from a beatdown at 9 years old
And over and over again
I learned more from that playground
When I learned how to take a beatdown, at 9 years old
And over and over again
And school bosses don't do a damn thing
You need to bring the people with ya
Or they'll beat you, remember that
Learned united front at 9 years old
From a battle on the bus
Learned politics from a play ground
Ya I learned politics from a beat down

It's war
No!
Well I learned politics from a playground
Ya I learned politics from a beatdown at 9 years old
And over and over again
Ya I learned united front on a playground
When I learned how to take a beatdown at 9 years old
I won't roll over again
