lyrics

In the quest for the test to fulfill an achievement
Everybody's only going to pursue themselves
When the fact of the matter is they just don't care
To extend a helping hand to anyone else
So tell me why did you have to lie
And try to make me all confused about the USA?
When the fact of the matter is you just don't care
To comprehend or understand a single word I say

I don't wanna have I go against I
Well, I don't wanna have I go against I
Well, let me tell ya!

The same old story, no factual glory
I against I against I against I against (hoo!)
And I say I don't like it and I know I don't want it
I against I against I against I against I against (hoo!)
Almighty watching, almighty watching
I against I against I against I against I (hoo!)
And I say I don't like it and I know I don't want it
I against I against I against I against

I said who's gonna tell the youth about the drugs
About the drugs, mugs, bugs, and the police thugs
About the rotten stinkin' rackets and the fantasies
Around the nation, around the nations

Oh, what you gonna do?
I tell you the truth is looking straight at you
Oh, baby, baby, what you gonna do?
I tell you the truth is looking straight at you

I know I got a brass Continental with a 300 Z
I got a color TV with a video too
I got a rest home in Jamaica for my fantasy, for my family
Around the nations

What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
