People Are Idiots (BASQUIAT)

​slowthai, Kwes Darko

[Intro]
Parasites
Parasites?
Yeah
And what-
Parasites meaning people?
No, meaning parasites
Meaning parasites?
Came back with it and I put it right there
Oh, well that's, that's kind of a slow process
Well, I'm a slow person

[Chorus]
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi

[Verse 1]
I break the door of a system, the structure, the fixin''s
I'm a slave to the prison
In my brain had a image of a man on the edge of a cliff
As he slips to the waves, take a dip, you can sleep with a fish
We need less role models, more supermodels
Less public housin', more hill condos
Flatten out the [?], people gonna follow
Have you ever tried drownin'?
It might wash away you sorrows

[Chorus]
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi

[Bridge]
Need homophobes to stay in the project
More misogynist, wankin' his bosses
More medication, lock away your problems
More [?] sayin' "Suck in your stomach!"
More advertisers, more propaganda (in your face)
More pandemics
No cures for cancer!
Misinformation
More mental patients
Misunderstandin'
We just rats in our cage

[Chorus]
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi
I fell like Jean Michel Basquiat
It took so long
Je ne sais quoi

[Post-Chorus]
Copyright, I ain't got no rights
Copyright my life
Trademark me, why?
Copyright, I ain't got no rights
Copyright my life
Trademark me, why?
Copyright, I ain't got no rights
Copyright my life
Tell me it's all square
Copyright, I ain't got no rights
Copyright my life (people are idiots)

[Outro]
Parasites
Parasites?
Yeah
And what-
Parasites meaning people?
No, meaning parasites
Meaning parasites?
Came back with it and I put it right there
Oh, well that's, that's kind of a slow process
Well, I'm a slow person
