Da Black Jezus - Don't Mean a Thing

[Verse 1]
Words don't mean a thing
Gunshots everywhere
Time don't mean a thing
Clocks strike yesterday's tricks
Witty lies, burnin' lands
False prophets get fat

[Verse 2]
Their river water is
Eatin' my legs
Uprootin' my roots
Intoxicatin' the earth
Swellin' up my shame
Drabblin' my name
Even when I stand still
Forget about the better days
Dead leaves around my footsteps
Can't believe no philosophy
With a cannonball in the cradle
Rigged games for the children
Paper saints for my prayers
[Verse 3]
Love don't mean a thing
Hate defiles the breeze
Hope don't mean a thing
With no freedom to reach
Sleep ain't a good deal
Your eyes ignore all those things
