letra de all up in the building - benjamin fro

songtekst van benjamin fro – “all up in the building”

[intro]
did we organise a peaceful demonstration?
(yes we did)
did we stand up and demand emanc-p-tion?
(yes we did)
did we raise our voice for decolonisation?
(yes we did)
and did they send police to beat us in our faces?
(yes they did)

[verse 1]
how long is it gonna take before we’re gonna start to lose our patience?
and we start to make some plans for some retaliation
organise and an occupation of some sp-ces
like f-ck it, they smiling in our faces turned our backs and slashed our budgets
i’m like, “yes sir, i’ve been running outta love for my oppressor
the humanities got values that your ruler cannot measure”
no computer could calculate the contents of my treasure
got weapons filled with words and letters lyin’ on my dresser
i wanna learn how to use them but they fired my professor
it’s difficult when the board of directors are agressors
that will go to violent measures against peaceful protesters
the university is ours we’re about to repossess her
so no ifs, no buts, no education cuts, and if you want our trust don’t send police to take our b-tts
we claim sp-ce we take a place, we come together, unite
and i swear that this red square will not come off without a fight

[chorus]
you see me fighting for my education to be (free)
they say they wanna talk, but they won’t listen to me
f-ck your promises, we want the real thing
that’s why you can see us all up in the building
(all up in the building) all up in the building
(all up in the building) all up in the building
f-ck your promises we want the real thing
that’s why you can see us all up in the building

[verse 3]
the humanities are here to keep humanity awake
that’s why you see the students so fanatically engaged
the critical eye can see we’re emphatically enslaved
and that can make a young mind dramatically enraged
we’re all under a threat to be sporadically unwaged
and next month might just be more than a salary away
as social inst-tution simptomaticly decay
an investment in the people is dogmatically delayed

[bridge]
what’s your strategy today?
what are you doing to save your education from the malicious and avaricious state
i’m tryna change the policies they make
and ’til that happens we have no apology to make
the violence they’ve been using against their own students is a good reason for violence against our inst-tutions
if they’re about to bring us down i -ssure you we will rise
if they attack then we’ll react and that should come as no surprise
cause we’re

[chorus]
you see me fighting for my education today
they say they wanna talk, but they won’t listen to me
f-ck your promises, we want the real thing
that’s why you can see us all up in the building
you see me fighting for my education today
they say they wanna talk, but they won’t listen to me
f-ck your promises, we want the real thing
that’s why you can see us all up in the building
(all up in the building) all up in the building
(all up in the building) all up in the building
f-ck your promises, we want the real thing
that’s why you can see us all up in the building
(all up in the building) all up in the building
(all up in the building) all up in the building
f-ck your promises we want the real thing
that’s why you can see us all up in the building
