Part 6 of my "Conscious Covers" Series is a cover of Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar's "No More Parties in LA". We're all slaves to the system unless we choose not to be.
No more doin’ what they say, Please people no more doing what they say uh,
No more doin’ what they say,
Please people no more doing what they say uh,
There’s a problem with the masses they can never see it,
Illusion trickery and every manner of deceit,
The men in power, yes they’re men don’t get it twisted brother,
They institutionalise corruption and their sons repeat it,
The masses mass is massive, massive thoughts are trapped in tarry trappings walking into banks and fapping,
What is your happiness?
Who has defined it for you?
Who has convinced you that it’s normal to go prostitute,
Your services and accolades your freedom will evaporate,
You’ll slowly fall into the trap of thinking it must be my fate.
Is it stemming from within or from the pocket of a man who turned a bull into a brute and stabbed the other in the back,
What is your purpose, what’s your life about,
Avoid the fisherman, they love catching a juicy trout,
What is your vision is it bringing your dreams nearer to ya or dreams of others older in chains like yours but shinier,
If you never think about the reason for the rules you follow then to follow rules is all you’ll ever swallow and I never wanna follow all the hollow men in power smoking cigars while my mother breaks her bones to feed my father.
I wanna go farther,
I wanna see more,
Wanna lift all of my friends up from the sea floor,
That’s the C-Floor, and the 9th ward,
That’s the longest line at Centrelink that stretches round the broken bricks around the back and sees me comin’ through the back I wanna be the one who never really has to go attack,
Coz I’m sittin at the back of the bus, with buckets of pus, I’m runnin’ amuk, uh. No more doin’ what they say, Please people no more doing what they say uh,
No more doin’ what they say,
Please people no more doing what they say uh,
I’m in a city, with the people that stay straight,
I’m one of many, with my head down on the train,
I’m goin’ nowhere and I cannot say no,
Yeah, I know,
Yeah, I know Yeah, I know Yeah, I know
No more doin’ what they say, Please people no more doing what they say uh,
No more doin’ what they say,
Please people no more doing what they say uh,
