Divide & Conquer

from In My Head by theDeeepEnd

/

lyrics

Chorus

Divide it up
Then conquer the mental
(3x)

Divide it up
Whoa

Verse 1
Look
Man, why would I need to face you myself ?
I’ve got a system made for your prison
You’ll concede with no fight at all
Niggas is sheep, we ruled through division
And I’m not talking bout the group that writes songs
Or maybe I am cuz for your entertainment, you’ll fall sleep on all of your cause
But the jokes on you and it’s so damn cruel,
but it lines our pockets
And it starts with food and the drinks you choose
Once you hooked can’t stop it
And it taste so good plus it can’t feel better
And them tin foil boys say we control your weather

Chorus
Divide it up
Then conquer the mental
(3x)
Divide it up
Yea

Verse 2
I’ma divide it up and split all the profit inside of my circle
And hog all the knowledge, but that’s incidental
And change up the books just to fit the agenda
Natives were coolin’, till we gave them blankets
To cover our statements, we don’t think it’s hatred
It’s self preservation, my nigga how could I be racist?
We carved out some land, and made reservations
Trade blood for your diamonds, that’s work for our bracelets
We took soul as our payment, and paid you lil nigga
That’s coin for your flavor
Now you got the drip for the flash in your pan
And we’ll keep the cards in our hand
That’s a royal flush or a royal fuck
As long as you all understand

Bridge
The powers that be have already decided
That if they divide and conquer they can rule us all
We have seen this repeated
Decade after decade
Century after century

Maybe with unity we’ll find impunity
Maybe the foolery’s all the we know
Tired of funerals, tired of crying
I’m tired of working my hands to the bone
Tired of telling the privilege their privileged and watching them run to excuses and jokes
Tired of telling my kids cuz they’re black
Police want them ghost
Pow
