[Intro: Rav]
One time for your mind
(Mic check)

[Verse 1: Rav]
Never made NFTs or any corny cryptocurriencies
Engaging in behaviors that would serve to strictly work for me
Or oversell a promise via pitiful hyperbole
Only to disappoint, then go on a shifting-burden spree
The music been free, never beg for help to pay my bills
Been fortunate in finding ways to earn a living, staying real
Devoid of big investors and the signing of predacious deals
Respecting my own ethics and the fluke of my success as well
I work hard
But I won't deny that barely matters
Can't forgеt the friends and fans, the lattеr helped me climb this ladder
I ain't disparaging my peers who track a different channel
Just a quick reminder of consistency, my actions patterned
Tons of dope musicians, most who have my sympathy
They'll never see the same opportunities life's given me
So many good hard-working folk everywhere in the world right now
They'll never earn what they deserve: security and dignity
Security and dignity
All we need is some security and dignity

[Chorus: Rav]
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay
[Verse 2: Rav]
Look all around you then decide a little
They drain yourself of blood, then they sell it to the highest bidder
And then we dare turn these monsters into pious figures
Shit ain't sweet, no it's quite bitter
Give 'em a hand and they'll turn it into arms
Used to rob foreign lands, but the booty ain't for y'all
Take our labor and our resources, barely tryna justify, still we eat horseshit
When our own backyard is depleted of all dignity
They'll take our work and rot it and turn our siblings into enemies
Strip them of their value and identity
And this ain't a new matter man, they do this shit consistently, it's history!
So what's next? Revenge against those set against you?
Guillotines for billionaires and depraved officials?
All to make a void for the next devil to misuse?
Killing a person never will resolve systemic issues
In the end, all we need really, is security and dignity (That's it)
Each and everyone of us deserves some security and dignity

[Chorus: Rav & love-sadKiD]
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay!
[Verse 3: love-sadKiD]
So, if we could look at it differently
Eyes open to the world, you'd get shook with epiphany
Security and dignity - what about integrity?
How could they call us equals in all this inequity
Far from being fair, far from suave and debonair
These one-percenters got us scared, but its numbers so who cares?
Quit fooling me
They'd rather write a eulogy than do something
Ask them to treat you humanely - they'll act as if you're pulling teeth! (Watch out!)
You might get caught up when your aging
This capitalistic wage slave chain gang
Or, you might just end up selling out
Giving away your dreams is easier to keep the house
Well, fuck manufactured supply and demand
Fuck the government, they contrive and enchant
Growing up, I had dreams that were wild and rampant
Put in the system I was in, I'll never try it again, damn

[Chorus: Rav & love-sadKiD]
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
All we needed was some-
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
All we need was some-
[Shake Loose My Skin - Sonia Sanchez]
The storm will not abate until a just distribution of the fruits of the Earth enables man everywhere to live in dignity
