who do you blame? - ict - makavenna lyrics

drums thump

(lexo verse 1)
it’s insane how many people are locked in the pen
what’s worse is we keep coming back again and again
it’s as if we never learned that crime don’t pay
locked for so long we don’t steer another way
to us a cell provides a meal and a sheltered home
the outside world became strange and unknown
should criminals be blamed for going back to jail
when things out here for them weren’t going well
rеjected by society and еmployers for their past
how can you escape being considered an outcast
don’t have a job! they don’t give you the opportunity
and the bills ain’t getting paid unless you have money
now i’m faced with the choice to do whatever it takes
there are no other choices, when you broke then you break
after all, no one else will give you another lead
so you do what you have to, to get what you need
society don’t see it, they think of us as criminals
don’t think about our survival needs as individuals
plus, the cops have a close eye on you for your previous crime
they can’t wait to throw your *rs* in one more time
to the government we are nothing more than dollar figures
they keep watching their pockets get bigger
just like us, politicians are hateful and greedy
not worried about our peers, starved and needy
con gress men are cons and criminals with strong authority
they have money to resist arrest constantly
for us living in poverty it is not the same
we don’t have millions to hide the truth
so who do you blame?
(hook lexo and makavenna)
lord, help me change my ways
(makavenna)
show a little mercy on judgement day

(makavenna verse 1)
so who do you blame for the things you do?
while you point, all other fingers point at you
parents are often blamed and this is true
in the end it all comes back to you know who
guardians are responsible for you until you’re grown
up until you can make wise decisions on your own
they tell you right from wrong but you don’t listen
i think corporal punishment is missing
throw out the time outs, you deserve a whooping
but this is where society is ultimately lacking
they say it’s wrong to discipline our own kids
then blame the parents for what they did
no matter what you do, someone will always come along
tell you what you are doing is wrong
listen to your heart and not those other voices
their opinions are just distracting noises
how can they form an opinion without all the facts
you are a human being and they can’t judge that
you are the only one that can fulfil your own fantasies
the only one to blame for my actions is only me
the reality is that every man is his own man
only that man can carry out his desired plan
if you do wrong it’s your soul to go up in flames
it was all in your hands, there is no one else to blame
(hook lexo and makavenna)
lord, help me change my ways
(makavenna)
show a little mercy on judgement day

(lexo verse 2)
the world is constantly turning so do what you do
you don’t bother me, i won’t bother you
keep it true till you die cause i know i will
all the real thugs know the pain i feel
make my own decisions on a daily basis
accept the consequence cause that’s the way it is
if actions bring consequence for me to die
let it be known i had the heart to fight
had it rough growing up as a youngster
do i deserve to go to heaven now, i wonder
am i to be punished for all the dirt i’ve done
in my family i was the most destructive one
either way, i still turned out to be successful
i guess now i have a reason to be grateful
i can’t stop i won’t stop cause i’m ambitious
i must achieve all my dreams and wishes
how many of you hustlers can relate?
the whole world is on a paper chase
want to have the most cash at the end of the race
money is the root of all evil in your face
dead presidents have the power to control your fate
i hope that on my arrival god won’t close the gate
but if he does i guess i’ll just go to h*ll
just as well
threw my cards down i was hoping to win the game
i was the one who made the moves so who do you blame?
(makavenna verse 2)
lord help me change my ways
show a little mercy on judgement day
it ain’t me, it’s the way i was raised
i try to pray before it becomes too late
i give thanks for all my kids
and hope that they grow better than i did
anger issues, pain and hurt in my life
addiction and conviction haunt me every night
tell me to do right cause cps is watching me
they keep trying to divide up my family
i keep crying cause i only relapsed once
and they want to punish me for the mistake i’ve done
acting like they’re perfect but they are not
i’m stuck in a cycle that just won’t stop
my kids suffer and it is driving me insane
where did i go wrong? and who do you blame?

(hook lexo and makavenna)
lord, help me change my ways
(makavenna)
show a little mercy on judgement day

(makavenna speech)
dedicated to all the political prisoners
all those who died for the cause
all those who struggle in life trying to find peace
all those who are segregated and judged by your skin
color, ethnic, race, language, religion, s*x or appearance
i don’t care what they say, discrimination still exists
as well as reverse discrimination. what happened to all men
and women are created equal? i see none of that!
shout out to my mom, destiny chavez. i know you’re going
through a lot right now
