I Stop Asking and We Start Demanding

I
Gave up
Asking for
Water when
I can make honey
And everything of money.
I stopped waiting on Top Men
When I can bend and make more.
I went into mine and let the Top Men
Theirs and start working for all I can give.

Here is where we start asking the Top Men
For the schools, hospitals, roads and all
They swore to give us when entrust
With our hearty sweat and blood.
Now's the time we rise 'gainst
Corruption and thuggery,
Poli-tricking that is
Bringing the
Masses
Tears.
