Stereo MC's – Everything lyrics

What would you do if a viscous enemy suddenly started coming at you?
Armed to the teeth and ready to kill you
Uhm?

The land of milk and honey don't seem to be nowhere
Joe took a gat to Johnny, it's family affair
His sister's in the bathroom cryin' tears of despair
'Cause when you can't recover?
How's it feel to be a mother and the father don't seem to be nowhere?
So check the hard line we all be carrying
Seems like the dollar bill we be marrying
Tag teams assaulting my brain
Well, I'm breaking out, no more sighing or carrying on or crying
As they abuse your emotions so that you can be used
It just a ruse, a plot to cook ya goose
Like blackmail, the ultimate untruth
As every day people get pressure close hand
Nerves are frames to the very last stand
And when they snap who knows?
Who can say which way the wind blows?
I'm not rising no kinda crusade
Just trying a see if sense can persuade
Let there be light surprise visualize
Get a vision and open ya eyes
All I wanna do is get it through to you
We're picking up the pieces and we're making new
All I wanna do is get it through to you
I wanna break through, I wanna break through
I wanna break through, I wanna break through

Well, I've been digging deep in the archives
Kicking it live, overdrive 'till sunrise
I realize how to break the fiction
'Cause every place really ain't no different
Fast food, fast living every coast, individuals turn to a ghost
Playing host to girls in windows
On ground level it's all the same lingo
Manny places, people in limbo
Can't change a thing, can't change a thing though
It's all cut throat down to the last note
It all heave ho down from the word go
No originals, everything reproduced, even down to my juice
So come-a, come-a, come-a check me out
I wanna know if we can turn about
Turn around and maybe see what's missin'
If you've nothing to say, sit back and listen
Get a vision
All I wanna do is get it through to you
We're picking up the pieces and we're making new
All I wanna do is get it through to you
I wanna break through, I wanna break through
I wanna break through, I wanna break through

If you're dragging pick it up, we'll go deeper every cut
Blow the siren when ya stuck, get a vision, liven up
If you're dragging pick it up, we'll go deeper every cut
Blow the siren when ya stuck, get a vision liven up
