Lyrics - Mr. Didio

what can i do but speak the truth
in a web of lies, what more can i do

im just one man dont got a gun
but i got a long story if you heard it you might run
the wide world spins, sun hangs in the sky
cool as the deepest water sittin still but i could fly

im settin up right here with a bag of rhymes
truth some try to say is a the worst of crimes
all i need is some shade and a breeze
any way the wind blows im gonna think free

oh no mr didio
if there smoke up above there fire down below
oh no mrs galloway
if only you knew what everybody know

im not moving til i absolutely know
who tells it like it is and who is blinded by the snow
a dangerous mind can absolutely say
under strenuous conditions whether it is night or day

there's a battle bout to start up in the sky
no one's gonna make a move til i pick i side
they're watching from the shadows the whole night long
looking for a cannon but im singing a song

oh no mr didio
we told you once we told you twice this gun is not for show
oh no mrs galoway
time to shut your mouth nobody care what you say

as soon as you learn to call a spade a spade
the people learn to look to you like sunshine from the shade
middleman come to pay you lead them all astray
you tell them no next thing they are dragging you away

they don't like you're ideas or what you got to say
they watch your every move stand in your every way
you point it all out and you write it all down
they just rip up the paper give the run around

oh no mr didio
if there smoke up above there fire down below
oh no mrs galoway
if only you knew what everybody know

oh what are you up to
oh who you been talkin to
oh whats inside your little head
heres what you should think instead

no.

i bring the bbq to the rasta clan
i put the wrench up in the masters master plan
I the one they hunting down all across the land
I can tell you what the wicked cookin in their frying pan

the rich old men want to buy all the young girls
rich old women want all the shiny pearls
nonsense tv justify their chaos as it swirl
arguin which clown of them the ruler the world

their fake religion wearing silly little hats
while their robot drone drops the bomb that make a city flat
you can hear their lies everywhere dont matter where your at
if you whisper they will hear you cause they have a million rat

oh no mr didio
what would you think happen stompin rights on the floor
oh no mrs galoway
when a people hate their country ain't no time to play

they called up venue and they wont let you play
they wont tell you why cause they afraid to say
you take it to the street try to make a proper show
then the goons come knockin down your mamas front door

fires in the stores and fires in the street
shelves are all empty can't buy shoes for your feet
the border gates are closed, the sunset curfew
a knock on the door they are comin for you

oh no mr didio
better not say what everybody knows
oh no mrs galloway
what sound you gonna make when they carry you away

youre sitting in a cell, they're banging on your cage
there ain't no judges left just babylon rage
passing out sentences whose life they gonna take
whose house they gonna steal whose cash they gonna rake

what can i do but speak the truth
in a web of lies what more can i do

I worked this poem into a song over years, it was just a hook for about 5 years until it was filled in by what I learned this year.

May the good vibes get a lot stronger!
