I ain't got no president
I ain't got no government
I've been on my own shit
Ain't nobody that I owe shit
They don't wanna try to coexist
But we gonna die if we don't resist
We all in the middle of a crime zone
Tryna save the world from your iPhone
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be
We won't be
We won't be
Give it strength, give it your all
Find you a place to call home
Forget everything you know
And never let nobody break your soul
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be
We won't be
We won't be
I ain't got no president
I ain't got no government
I've been on my own shit
I don't owe no one shit
They don't wanna try to coexist
But we gonna die if we don't resist
We are in the middle of a crime zone
Wanna save the world, who am I though?
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be
We won't be
We won't be
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be
We won't be
We won't be
Give it strength, give it your all
Find you a place to call home
Forget everything you know
And never let nobody break your soul
We gon' do our own thing
Sittin' in the sun
Or we standin' in the rain (in the rain)
We gon' do our own thing
I won't be ya servant
I won't be ya slave
We gon' do our own thing
Sittin' in the sun
Or we standin' in the rain (in the rain)
We got' do our own thing
Saw that you a serpent
Saw that you a snake (you a snake)
If that's what you want
Take what you want
Take what you want
If that's what you need
Take what you need
Take what you need
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be
We won't be
We won't be
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be controlled by the system
We won't be
We won't be
We won't be
