Song Lyrics:

When you live in glass houses Don't be the first to cast a stone Please leave me alone Cause you don't want to be What you want me to be When you live in glass houses Don't be the first to cast a stone Please leave me alone Cause you don't want to be What you want me to be Robbin Hood You cant do God's work with the devil's tools You're a wise man with the ignorance of fools With them you cast lots And then you share the loot You ain't cold. you ain't hot And neither are you cool You stand between wrong and right Without a burden to choose You hypocrites are only good at breaking all the rules You shun down evil but your deeds are cruel You said power to the people But the people don't have food Karma is your future What you do to me will come back right to you The seed that you sow will one day be your fruit Tell me why are you offended by the truth You withhold good From those whom it is due Our unsung heroes must be turning in their tombs Forgive them father Them not know what they do Into the eye of the needle I pray to see you through When you live in glass houses Don't be the first to cast a stone Please leave me alone Cause you don't want to be What you want me to be When you live in glass houses Don't be the first to cast a stone Please leave me alone Cause you don't want to be What you want me to be We are patronized And made to feel weak When they slap us on the right We turn on the other cheek Hard knock life We get down to the deed Go ahead and try You'll see how easy to speak Tell no lie If there's something you wanna teach But do bare in mind Gotta practice what you preach I'm cutting all ties Get these chains off me I know I can fly So let my soul set free You're pointing fingers but there's no one to blame We'd rather be honest sinners Than masquerades of false saints Like father's pulling rubber-bullet triggers on their own babes While ghetto youth is drinking liquor Smoking reefer all day If that's the reason why we fought The struggle was aimless It's been a long walk Now we're running out of patience We're tired of the talks Cause it all don't make sense Wicked ways cut your days short Wisdom of Ancients Menemene Phunya selesele Phiciphici Ng'zok'dlis' ipelepele Iy'gidigidi Z'yongena velevele Ai aning'yeke Ng'zon'bona fedefede Menemene Phunya selesele Phiciphici Ng'zok'dlis' ipelepele Iy'gidigidi Z'yongena velevele Ai aning'yeke Ng'zon'bona fedefede
