Who Foolin' Who? [Song]

WHO FOOLIN' WHO?
By Shadow
Album: "Moods of the Shadow", T&T 1993

"Stoop to conquer" could never be all right
If you really want to conquer, you've got to learn to fight
Stooping in a corner, like little Jack Horner
Sucking up your finger, you waiting to conquer
They had mih grandfather waiting
For those good things that comes to those who wait
But he wind up in a coffin, poor like a church rat
He found out too late.

Somebody keeps fooling somebody... oh yea yea yea...
Somebody keeps fooling somebody... yea yea yea yea yea

William Shakespeare say, "Who steal my purse, steal trash."
But the Shadow say, "That thief was looking for some cash."
So much trash bags on the pavement
If you really want to steal, you don't need any consent
Just pull up with your wheels
If I catch you inside my pocket looking for trash inside my wallet
Run away from there! Danger could be near.
My name is not Shakespeare

And somebody keeps fooling somebody... oh yea yea yea...
Somebody keeps fooling somebody... oh yea yea yea yea yea

"The truth shall set you free." So the saying goes
It's so far from reality, only Heaven knows
You telling a police man you cut off a man hand
You toss it in the canal, he never had a funeral
And then you expect the truth to save you
But the jury don't know it so
You are going to be free after custody,
When you are ninety-three.

Somebody keeps fooling somebody... oh yea yea yea yea yea yea...
Somebody keeps fooling somebody... oh yea yea yea yea yea
Somebody keeps fooling somebody... oh yea yea yea yea yea....

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Shadow. I think that you are a national treasure.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
