Catch The Thrown Lyrics - Large Professor

Chorus: 

What you reap is what you sow 

And what you keep is what you owe 

And what the people want to know 

Is who's gonna test the throne? 

What you got is what they want 

And what they see they say they need 

And people bleeding from the greed 

Now who's gonna cast the thrown? 

Thrown at, thrown under 

Throw to the side, thrown up the... 

so we're throwing down 

Thrown under the bus dragging on the ground 

Power to the people saluting the underground 

Against those staying in mansions 

Spitting down at us from up the higher ground 

See the people, fight the power, face the poor 

But that one percent, they shut the door 

In God we trust all money, this is slap in the face 

To the rest of the whole human race! 

Post racial... haste 

Change your name, but you can't change race n the United States 

People say they're kings, some say they're queens 

If we all gonna eat, what does it all mean? 

We watch and listen, but I leave it alone 

But who's gonna catch the thrown? 

Chorus: 

Divide and conquer, the oldest trick in the game 

Is the war between the people who are really the same 

As the rich get richer, the poor get bitchie 

The people keep kissing, the feds don't listen 

This recession seen a black depression 

Situation in a nation heading for desperation 

No quarter back is sat on a couch 

Inside the black America is ouch! 

Government don't love you and President's executions 

End up looking like some final solution 

Murder is the institution backed up and hacked up 

By some hand written constitution. 

Do what you do! Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Hebrew 

You're all what you do, I'll be seeing human beings that stew 

Yet never have so many but screwed up some few! 

We watch the kings and queens and what they owe 

But who's gonna catch the thrown? 

(There's a man going round, taking names) 

This system was designed to incriminate 

Genocide was designed to eliminate 

Equality is a myth! 

They had me in jail for a crime I didn't even commit! 

The stereotype 

They feel every color is inferior, right? 

Brothers who resist I consider a threat 

From Sitting Bull to Malcolm X 

In the land of free and suspect elections 

John Kennedy had the mob connections 

President Reagan sold guns to Iraq 

Yet they're trying to say the criminals are all black! 

What's up with these corrupt politicians? 

Them drugs they be shipping, but they never go to prison 

And a fucked up system that they never tried to bag me 

Fuck Zimmerman, guilty, clearly! 

Chorus: 

Cast the thrown, you gotta test the fire 

Is that the one per cent that you need, you got to occupy 

Catch the thrown, I gotta test the fire 

Is that the one per cent that you want? 

You gotta occupy! 

(There's a man going round, taking names) 

Free the mind, prisoners 

they ain't listening 

F the po-po, but who dat whistling? 

Foes making the killing 

Juxtaposed against those giving a living 

Give me something, cause musicians be official 

Is the need to feed replaced by the greed 

I ain't trying to yell at you or sell at you 

The BS they already told to you 

End up being sold to you 

Did I mention? 

The cheapest price is to pay attention 

Now the chess is just being at your best 

With that you can hold your own 

Fuck! Who's gonna catch the thrown? 

Chorus:
