O’hene Savant
Where Are They?
Verse 1:
Where all the smart ones at? Tell me I ain’t alone
How did we end up here stuck in the danger zone?
With all these guns and bombs tryin’ to take our souls?
It’s for the grieving mom, the one I can’t console
Whose son lies in the ditch of emergency
She just cries in the pitch of uncertainty
There’s no closure, a soldier of urban streets
When will the murder cease? Please let me know
The clock’s still tickin’ for our world but ain’t nobody nervous
Corporations for greed, they turn it to a furnace
So pretty much it’s curtains ‘less than we take a lesson
But nah I’m too depressin’, sorry I got a message
How many diseased chickens have gotta die?
While we get obese, sick of they products? Why?
No need to be a vegan though I have tried
What’s the point? Even our corn is modified
This is not a [?], God, intervene
They just want us to mutate into lesser beings
It’s a ploy to kill soy, make less of beans
Now the plot thickens, hope you get the scene
Verse 2:
Where all the smart ones at? Tell me I’m not alone
Is there a person still here that’s not a clone?
In a world with stealth planes and flyin’ drones
Mind tactics distract us, we buyin’ phones
Text messages keep our eyes far from the exodus
Rich men make all the wild claim and deficit
Occupy Wall Street, y’all keep waitin’
After Columbine, y’all still debatin’?
‘cause Billy don’t wanna put his gun down
That’s the law, then a dozen people gunned down
In the name of a document somehow
The refrain of the populous, what now?
Everybody is owned, now am I the last?
They be buyin’ up souls, that’s a lot of cash
Say the picture is bigger so they try the path
Once your soul is sold, ain’t no buyin’ back
I had a meetin’ then said, “I’m here to save the youth”
They had a meetin’ then said, “put ‘em on major mute”
‘cause they afraid of these God chords I play for you
So they replace ‘em with pop not to face the truth
They say a song ain’t much, O, just entertain
Singin’ sinful hymns ’til it get ingrained
The intermission ends to our wicked ways
Our inner vision tends to just drift away
