Dame Drummer - Aye Yai Yai Lyrics

I'm amazed at how fast the clock ticks man
I done had a rough year I'm talking bout
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai

Yeah me and my lady called it quits
Oh dear that was my worst fear hold up what happened like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai

And I'm trying and I'm trying to get back to normal
But what's normal when everything you do is abnormal
They think I'm
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai

And I know in life there are no failures only lessons
I'm a student of life boy let me tell you sheesh
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai

I need to let some things go do you think I'm talking about my dreams no
It's my attitude I'm hot like jalapeños
Cause my people we been begging to be equal yeah
And 3/5's ain't enough but that's all that's left when your people done ate us up like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai

And yeah uncle Sam ain't you had enough
And what we paying for so y'all can all shoot us up
Your weapons make you act tough but not as tough as great I AM
Cause when America's gun jam you know uncle you out of luck
And if I'm keeping it buck then you're running out of time you see
Cause everything you've done to me is already written in those prophecies

Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai

You see it was always at my fingertips
Like that blessing for those hebrews in that wilderness
But somehow I could never touch it
Maybe it was how you had that money on my mind and how you made me love it

And I done gave you so much time but you ain't gave me nothing
My color's purple maybe God was trying to tell me something
Like how I should focus on kingdom things
Cause nothing on earth will ever trump yeah I said Trump with that kingdom bringing
I'm on my kingdom thinking the police keep us leaking
We let big brother control our palms every day he be creeping
But Christ already defeated hell all you do is deceive me
And got me slaving for this mail like I'm Mr. McFeely
Ya see I'm on a mission devil you got to flee me imma be doing his business like Mister and Celie

And where does a man's soul go where the floor is gold and shiny like some soul glow
And I done came a long way from my old flow
Man the presence of God will dig you out that whole though
I really do this cause I love it and my people need me
But if I ain't got a pot to piss in will my people feed me
I'mma be a source of light regardless if you see me
My brother Rega told me that and that's my bro believe me

You're born you grind you live you die like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai

You laugh you cry you love you fight like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai

You're born you grind you live you die like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai

You laugh you cry you love you fight like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai

And if the elevator tries to break you down
Don't let it go crazy punch a higher floor
And if you ever think that God don't care no more
He's always always knocking at your door

Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
