Lyrics Maverick Sabre – We Don’t Wanna Be

We don’t wanna be
We don’t wanna be
You better duck
Press your luck

Too bluesy, black choosy
A drive-by means slow cruisin’
No 2s-in’, it’s been no shootin’
No roof and I raise ?
I just got to breathe
is someone watchin’ me?!
Yeah, they gon’ let me be
so they stop and they search for my ID

And did you even know we could change this?
Brothers really found me a racist
How’d you tell they’re meant to behave
When you’re pushing them around on the pavement?
And did you even know we could change this?
Brothers really found me a racist
How’d you tell they’re meant to behave
When you’re pushing them around on the pavement?

And even though these days they seem to haunt you
There’s many more to change
And you try, and you try, and you try

We don’t wanna be
So we’re not gonna be
Retain my madness

I wonder why, buddy, what ya think of me?
Askin’ me my name and arise to me
I got a bag on me and not a thing in it
But they understand, they can handle this
I got the ?
Where I can be in hell free
Runnin’ alley alley in the parley for pretendance
See see he pretendin’ neva crowded
I ain’t honest

First the TV was a problem
Now IP PC, I deem to solve it
Turn down the volume
No love, no hug, just thugs in armor
First the TV was a problem
Now IP PC, I deem to solve it
Turn down the volume
No love, no hug, just thugs in armor

And even though these days they seem to haunt you
There’s many more to change
And you try, and you try, and you try

One time, they shootin’, I make the books
I’m a slave to the page that the Times took
Babylon, how my mind shook
Made one false move, got caught reaching for the wrong book
And that’s just the way it’s set up
They left us, soon or late it ain’t the best luck
It’s messed up, we against the odds ?
In Babylon, talk back to my ancestor
Triple Great Gran, I can feel yo pain
Judged by your jewelry, walk with my chain
Judge Judy, not one man should have that power
Even regular widow’s official powder
Ain’t no country for wise men
Every day I look up at this horror rising
Now the homies arriving, if it’s all surprising
Maybe if we’d unified we could survive

We don’t wanna be
So we’re not gonna be
Retain my madness
We don’t wanna be insane
So we’re not gonna be
Trapped by disaster
We don’t wanna be contained
So we’re not gonna be
Retained by madness
We don’t wanna be insane
So we’re not gonna be
Trapped by disaster
We don’t wanna be

Retain my madness, resort my sadness (insane)
Trapped by disaster, maintain the balance (contain)
Retain my madness, resort my sadness (insane)
Trapped by disaster, maintain the balance (contain)
Retain my madness, resort my sadness (insane)
Trapped by disaster, maintain the balance (contain)
Retain my madness, resort my sadness (insane)
Trapped by disaster, maintain the balance (contain)
We don’t wanna be
We not gonna be
We don’t wanna be
We not gonna be
We don’t wanna be
We not gonna be
We don’t wanna be
We not gonna be
We don’t wanna be
We not gonna be
We don’t wanna be
We not gonna be
We don’t wanna be
We not gonna be
We don’t wanna be
We not gonna be
