Tarrus Riley

System Set

I have outlined the number of differences amongst the slaves

I take these differences and make dem bigger

I use fear, distrust and envy

I am Willie Lynch, your greatest enemy

If yah see brother going down and you trying to push him further

Yuh Willie Lynch, yes yuh Willie Lynch

Dem system set;

To keep the family out dere fighting and de slave master rejoicing,

while we all are one skin

De system set;

I will never make a brother a victim, to keep the slave master rejoicing

and we all are one skin

Hey out in de streets, yutes a hustle and a look food fi eat; yeah!

And Babylon control dem thinking, put one against anada

Sharpen dem teeth

It makes no sense; fighting fa master, wear out and what left

Tell me who or what it profits yuh;

Ooh!

De system set;

To keep the family out dere fighting and de slave master rejoicing,

and we all are one skin

De system set;

But I will never make a brother a victim, to keep the slave master rejoicing

and we all are one skin

Hey in de race for a dollar, friends turn sour

Mama gainst dada

Hmm;

I tell yuh, gun shot shower; over rice and flour

Dis we caan allow no more

It makes no sense; fighting fa food i rather wait til harvest

Tell me who or what it profits yuh;

Hey!

De system set;

To keep the family out dere fighting and de slave master rejoicing,

and we all are one skin

De system set;

But I will never make a brother a victim, to keep the slave master rejoicing

and we all are one skin

Give yuh a little power and de oppressed become de oppressor

De slave master change him color

A little guy named Willie control yah head with de better down syndrome

You Willie Lynch, yes you Willie Lynch

Hey out in de streets, yutes a hustle and a look food fi eat

And Babylon control dem thinking, put one against anada

Sharpen dem teeth

It makes no sense; fighting fa master wear out and what's left

Tell me who or what it profits yuh;

Ooh!

De system set;

To keep the family out dere fighting and de slave master rejoicing,

and we all are one skin

De system set;

But I will never make a brother a victim, to keep the slave master rejoicing

and we all are one skin

Hire me becoz I
