Santigold:Shove It

Brooklyn we go hard

We on the look for the advantage, we work hard

And if we seem to rough it up a bit

We broke but we rich at heart

Pull ourselves up now we won't choke

It's our time, put the lights on us


War tactics they make me sick

Reel your heart in run away with it

Smile in your face, undermine your back

Got guns for the strength they lack

So if you know another way

You can't look the other way

You know another way,

Tell them so right to their face



We think you're a joke

Shove your hope where it don't shine (4x)



I pay for what's called

Eccentricity and my will to evolve

I hear them all say

That I got heart

But not everything that it takes


Taint my mind but not my soul

Tell you I got fire

I won't sell it for no payroll

Let 'em hold me down

I know if I know another way

I can't look the other way

I know another way

I'll tell them so right to their face



We think you're a joke

Shove your hope where it don't shine (4x)
