Everybody Saw It But Nobody Moved [ft. Goshin & Cheech]

from Le Sang des Innocents by MC Dro-P

lyrics

[Goshin]
Yo everybody saw it but nobody moved
But why am I blind to the obvious clues,
Our city, getting fuller by the corporate crews
Tomorrows lessons ever-shaped by yesterdays news.
You see we innocent once and somehow taught to hate
We all human born with the songs of Bill Blake
The late great,
Innovator certainly one -
Man of a kind who systematically wrote
His word is bond.
It’s been and then gone
Sacrificial lambs of society
Violently mind fucked and forced to insanity
Electrify the inner demon and draw breath
What a feeling to be stepping in the shadows of death!
Lord! Take heed to the religion produced,
The dominions of faith cartels with no truth
And big powers allowing themselves to reign hell showers
Change in this world must now begin with the youth.

[Chorus]
Everybody saw it but nobody moved
And now that we’re dead, boy, how will we prove?
Backstabbers were smoothing the shooting around
And our lifeless bodies are falling on the ground
Everybody saw it but nobody moved
Progress forward; feigning the groove…
Fuck, that’s what they call “tomorrow’s light”
But screw you geezers: your sky ain’t no bright!

[Dro-P]
C’est le chaos permanent,
Partout des nouveaux plans d’ajustement structurel débiles
Conçus pour étouffer, taper, découper à la pelle
Les cerveaux endormis
Et faire du Bien le nouvel ennemi public numéro
Un, deux, trois coups de batte et puis s’en vont
Ainsi font font font les marionnettes du pouvoir
Et on est fom-fom-fomblards
Mais on reste éveillés, encore et encore
Du fin fond du soir
De la nuit la plus noire
Qu’est connu le ciel du Nord :
Manchester, hometown of the cellar-dwellers
Mothership / Dro-P
Always on the vanguard
Connecting once again
Slude Funk / En Garde!
Soldiers of the fragile balance between Art and Rage
Deep down the very lower levels of the underground
Condemning the fake progress, fils
Synonyme de chaos et d’injustice
Peace?
Just be prepared for War!

[Chorus 2]
Everybody saw it but nobody moved
And now that we’re dead, boy, how will we prove?
The system we fed just ate us alive
When our dreams were burnt in the flames of our pride
Everybody saw it and the few who rebelled
Were firmly gagged and bound and were drown behind a jail
Fuck their unfair so-called progress
That fattens the rich, starving everybody else!

[Cheech]
Intergalactic and practically magic
I'm back with a bang and a bag of the dank
And a packet of matches,
That man of action with a brand new plan of action,
Adamantium mandible had em napping,
Part Manson slash cactus jack,
Bang bang,
Wore the mask but how long could it last?
Snap back if ya biting the bars they attack back,
Leave a mark on em,
Marvellous bars but you can't have that,
Marvel at Dan’s raps but that's that,
And that's it
The tactics still attack til they crack shit,
Serve it in tin foil wraps for these addicts,
Pardon the pun but,
Jack I think we cracked it,
Dumb luck for you rappers I mean,
Did you really think you ever stood a chance against a champion?
Permanently high,
Still annihilating challengers it’s standard,
Bringing that sludge funk sound to you bastards!

[Chorus 2]
