I Can’t Take It

[Pre-Chorus: Patty]
I tried so hard
To live my life
With these kinda people round me
With these kinda people round me
My friend just told me
To keep my head high
Oh, don't you worry, don't worry
You always...

[Chorus: Patty (Suffa)]
Tell me people
I just gotta know
I can't, can't take it
Can't take it no more
Tell me people
I just gotta know
(Check it out) I can't, can't take it (Ah, come on
Ayy) Can't take it no more

[Verse 1: Suffa]
Man, I feel this pain
And I realise the game ain't shit
'Cause I've signed these kids' arms where they've tried to drain their wrists (What?)
And that's as deep as it gets, I'm
Deeper than an old drunk beating his stepson (Damn)
Now, how you gonna mess with a loved one and beat 'em?
It's like this demon wanted kids just to mistreat 'em
As street preachers scream at the heathens
Man, we've been caught up in a net like sea creatures
Free speech is speechless, we just don't care that they took it
(We don't care) We just don't care that they're crooked
Corruption's like cocaine and everybody's just so high (So high, so high)
And they're all so good-looking, man, fuck that (Fuck that, man)
That kid's got gravel on
His knees from the ground that he grovel on
Matchstick Babylon burn it to the ground, churn it up, rip it up
"Turn it upside down, burn it up"
Our grandfathers died on battlefields so we could die on toilet floors
Smack up, pass out and soil our drawers
Cutthroat, blood soaks and soils our shores
We got a war for oil that gives us oil for wars, fuck that, man (Fuck that)
'Cause I'm a believer, I love life
I love peace, it's like they don't love either
My love is deeper, my brother's keeper
It's like they want to send us all into the fucking ether
What?

[Pre-Chorus: Patty]
I tried so hard
To live my life
With these kinda people round me
With these kinda people round me
My friend just told me
To keep my head high
Oh, don't you worry, don't worry
You always...

[Chorus: Patty]
Tell me people
I just gotta know
I can't, can't take it
Can't take it no more
Tell me people
I just gotta know
I can't, can't take it
Can't take it no more

[Verse 2: Pressure]
Is the world made of plastic?
Is the city buried in schemes? Ain't it tragic?
Capture we rage at delay in traffic
Till it beats us into shape like our hate's a blacksmith
Writing blue-collar change, like it escaped our notice
When the fuck we became the processed?
Tainted focus, straining, so stressed, pain of slow death
No! Burn it down in the name of progress
We see, teach and grow the most lethal foe
When he kills for a reason he don't even know
While media's feeding your evening show
Like vampires, getting high on other people's lows
So while the courts are choked with matters
The only status that counts is the amount over balance
'Cause credit is a loan attached to a rope and ladder
If you don't know the swagger of cloak and dagger
Sex workers, street urchins, houses
Squallor, while the churches got merchants out, we've got 'em
Murderous politics, don't be absurd
It's gonna surface hidden by the courteous bounds of honour
And in the hope I'll cope, I'll get over
A flow with the dope and lines in Le Coka Nostra
And I'm focused to know where the love's at
Y'all gotta go, let it come back

[Chorus/Collision: Patty]
"Try to keep my head off the floor" Tell me people
"Gotta keep surviving" I just gotta know
"Try to keep my head off the floor" I can't, can't take it
"Time to do what we gotta do" Can't take it no more
"Try to keep my head off the floor" Tell me people
"Gotta keep surviving" I just gotta know
"Try to keep my head off the floor" I can't, can't take it
"Time to do what we gotta do" Can't take it no more
