Song: Shove It
Album: Santogold

Lyrics

Brooklyn we go hard
We on the look for the advantage, we work hard
And if we seem to rough it up a bit
We broke but we rich at heart
Pull ourselves up now we won’t choke
It’s our time, put the lights on us

War tactics they make me sick
reel your heart in run away with it
Smile in your face, undermine your back
got guns for the strength they lack
So if you know another way
you can’t look the other way
if you know another way,
tell them so right to their face

We think you’re a joke
Shove your hope where it don’t shine (4x)

I pay for what’s called
eccentricity and my will to evolve
I hear them all say
that I got heart
but not everything that it takes

Taint my mind but not my soul
Tell you I got fire
I wont sell it for no payroll
Let ‘em hold me down
I know if I know another way
I can’t look the other way
I know another way
I’ll tell them so right to their face

We think you’re a joke
Shove your hope where it don’t shine (4x)

    @JewLoco It isn’t about about. This is Santigold from a 2008 interview:

    SW: This song was written way before Obama’s campaign, and I’m a supporter of Obama. It was about the current administration’s propagandist tactics (I can’t believe how much that still works on people, it’s ridiculous!), and about the power of people and the need for us to speak up. The “hope” I’m speaking of in this song is just a metaphor for all their bullshit talk.

    And subsequently I …
    And subsequently I am sexist. So, to conclude, I do not appreciate or respect this song due to it being sung by a black person (colloquially referred to as a nigga) and the fact that aforementioned ‘nigga’ is female. I do not view my position as being biased and I am not a member of the Ku Klux Klan, but only because they do not have organisations in my country. Signed, Jack

    Hi, my name is Jack …
    Hi, my name is Jack and i would like to make a comment upon this atrocity that you call a song. I have a number of points to make here. Firstly, I would like to put on the table the truth that everyone is avoiding; Black people (that is, people from African-American origin) cannot sing. Yes, I repeat, they cannot sing with any talent and/or gusto. Next I would like to say that Justin Bieber rocks my world and subsequently I am a homosexual,if you don’t like this then take it up with my attorney
