about

Following desperation and despair, Anger and discontent soon breeds the desire for a change.

lyrics

Na na na na na na na nah 
Na na na na na na na nah 
Na na na na na na na nah 
Na na na na na na na nah 

Oh I sense a Mutiny, Oh would you be true to me 
Or stab me in the back, forget all the things you promised me 
Neighbours blame neighbours, it lead to chaos in the end 
While secret enemies plot and ready, to take the ends 

They're breaking us up, turning prisoners into surfs, 
Should of been queens of the future, picking up the dirt 
Seems to be geography determines what you worth 
In a systems that makes poverty and tells us that it works 

The Storm is coming, The Storm is coming in 
So lock your windows and start praying 
The Storm is coming, the Storm is coming in 
So long your windows and start praying 

I see you eyes are jealous as you see me on the rise, 
Your traps'll never catch me, cos they come as no surprise 
standing in the darkness as I see through your disguise 
Our plans'll never fall down, 'cos we never deal with lies 

It's too rough the clouds have gone too dark, 
people forgotten just how to feel with their heart 
I wonder which event hit me most, tore me apart, 
Death of loved ones, babies taken off in carts 

It's time we got some discipline 
Time the 'hood start listening 
yeah the jewels are glistening 
But most us ain't fitting in 
Lots of sons are dying here 
Don't mean to be prying here 
But wise one's are steppin' up 
Cos 'nuff man just be lying here 

The Storm is coming, The Storm is coming in 
So lock your windows and start praying 
The Storm is coming, the Storm is coming in 
So long your windows and start praying 

It's just another kid in the skies, 
which one's next and for what 
Can't sit and leave the fate to the rest 
Some are blessed, and leave with the P's and good dress 
But the ends stays the same, just one less success 
Story it's boring, seeing the same old poor, feeling sore a little more 
Status and power than their sex 
Its not easy seeing broken faces up on a reg's 
See we all got talent, but we feel like dregs 
Same feel of paranoia when we see the fed 
already done wrong just by gettin' out of bed 
no wonder youth feel lost and they see the red 
If kids initiate themselves then they burn down the fence 
its not easy this life, but don't need to be so trife, 
Was bad enough before myron lost his sweet life, 
when you fool realise road struggles aint right 
Put your arms and your pens to the real damn fight 

Its still a' coming' even if you close your eyes 
You might want forgiveness but its too late to realise 
kids all your loved ones, might be your last goodbye 
bless the sunrise and praise the blue skies 

Na na na na na na na nah 
Na na na na na na na nah 
Na na na na na na na nah 
Na na na na na na na nah
