"Heavy Foot" lyrics

Do you hear the sound of the bell
Did you wish your family well?
Times ain't the same in the neighborhood
Got the parents all going through hell
Cause the guns keep flying off the shelf

Do you see the man on the street
Just fighting for a meal to eat
You can write him off as a lunatic
But it coulda been you or me
If we didn't ever find our feet (hm)

Love me now
Hold me down
And the government
Staying on heavy foot
And they tried to keep us all down
No they never gonna keep us all down (woo)

Do you see the birds in the cage
On the highway working like slaves
It's a con it's a ruse it's a gaslight
Ain't it funny how far we came
For them to go n change the name

Do you see the man on the screen
Just a puppet but you never see the strings
Calling it a war n not a genocide
Telling us it isn't what it seems
Man that's a different kind of greed

Love me now
Hold me down
And the government
Staying on heavy foot
And they tried to keep us all down

Love me now
Hold me down
And the government
Staying on heavy foot
And they tried to keep us all down
No they never gonna keep us all down

And they tried to keep us all down
No they never gonna keep us all down
