Promoe Dog Day Afternoon Lyrics

Good morning, boys and girls.
It's a new day, what we call the morning after.
Ain't nothing changed, though.
Still the same war, yer' head feelin like it exploded last night, right.
Verse 1: (Promoe)
All of the people cant be alright all of the time they tell me
But some people seem to have a right to have it all
All of my people lets unite right now
Dont follow Babylon system because theyre capitalistic cannibals
Im callin for equal rights and justice just like the teacher Peter Tosh did
Tryin to reach my people in the mush pit at the festivals
Or at the clubs, the cars, the parks, at homes wherever you choose to roam
Promoe on the microphone, dont care if Im right or no I just shoot the foam
Dont know if its night or afternoon, but I know its the morning after soon
And I know Im gonna pass out soon, too fast too soon, bring me back the tune
So I can vibe all night like theres no tomorrow
Come with me on a flight, leave this world so shallow
Piece of the pie, keys of the ride, Es for the high, dime piece on the side
Thats what they all want aints it, yall gon feel it morning after, no more laughter
Work in iniquity and we think we are free
Just because we cant see, the chorus sing it with me!
Chorus: (Promoe & Rantoboko)
Oh yes
- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoon
Im so tired of the world right now
- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoon
Never wanna wake up no more
- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoon
Just wanna take it easy
- I am with the people when the world unites...
Verse 2: (Timbuktu)
No peace no justice, theyre restless, dont need get busted for questions
Seek and trust in affection, plus keep in touch with the checks and
People wieldin weapons at each other to keep it covered
And keep it comin, the power that be just wanna see the numbers
Would probably eat their mothers, dont really speak to others
Just sit back and watch people fall into deeper slumbers
Of money and materialistic s___
Thats unequally distributed
And the things that were willing to risk for it, to just get a whiff of it
Ride around town in a crispy whip, get a pretty chick to kiss my lip
I want every day to be like a festival, I wanna kick back have nothing else to do
But eat cake in the park, drink makers mark, swim around the pool like a mako shark
But what am I gonna make the bacon off? And I get no sleep still awake at dawn
All I wanna do is hold my chest out, all you gonna get is totally stressed out
Howlin like a Wolf, screaming like Jay Hawkins
With nightmares of what their dreams might cost them
Chorus: (Timbuktu & Rantoboko)
Oh yes
- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoon
Thinkin of when times get better
- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoon
Pointin my eyes to the sky
- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoon
And you know
- Im chillin with my people... when the world unites
Verse 3: (Chords)
All I hear are clocks tickin, Im stuck in this hot kitchen
in the f___in wok sizzin, watchin how the plot thickens
Watchin all these cops friskin little kids for shopliftin
Tellin em to stop, listen! Run and check the job listings
Nah mister, I dont work for slave wages
I dont want my playstation to trade places with a pacemaker
I just relaxed real cool, sat back looked pass the rules
You and your pack of fools ruined my afternoon
I swear these m_________ers got a hold of me, bloodsuckers controllin me
Wont let go of me, and they throwin me to the wall, but I fall on my own two feet
Could it be cus Im rollin trees and my block smells like potpourri
With my eyes shot red like the Cyclops in the Odyssey when I go to sleep
It is cus I dont hold the grease? f___ that man I flow on beats
f___ the man patrollin streets, cuffin hands and holdin heat
Id rather earn a dollar with a dirty collar
workin the early hours for something worth the bother!
Chorus: (Chords & Rantoboko)
Dont need no 9-5
- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoon
Not to know that Im alive
- Its been a hard days night now its a dog day afternoon
See I know that time will fly
- Its been a had days night now its a dog day afternoon
Even if I dont climb inside, and vibe...
- Relaxin with my people when the world unites!
