    LYRICS

    Protoje - Who Can You Call (2015)

    30 pieces of sliver i said that was the price

    you see the value man woulda put pon the blood of christ

    for Joseph it was 20 they never liked his coat

    for Bob a coulda more they never liked of what he spoke

    inspite of all these notes i see the pattern them developing

    Morality secondary to money greed and jealousy

    thats how many fell you see and with that being said

    i'd wondered if my brothers put a price upon my head

     

    Ive heard that money makes friends and money makes foes

    but money it is not all

    cause when the dough ends and all the banks close

    tell me who can you call 

    Who can you call

     

    I've seen empires fall and wither down to dust 

    and all the money in the world it could not lift them up

    most brilliant of ornaments crumble down to rust

    because we put we faith in lust and disregard the trust

    hell i know the rush

    I've had the feeling take me over

    the power in my hand when all the band over my shoulder

    the bands of money coming in will change the ones around you 

    be wise you know because it cannot stop you getting older but still

    i admit that i get caught up in the game

    saw the legends do it naturally i did the same

    so I'm rolling round the city 

    Ms. Jamaica deh den with me

    Earth den pon me platter knowing all of this no matter

     

    And do you think that with the last breath that you take 

    You'll be sitting thinking bout the money that you made

    houses that you lived in cars you drove the bills you paid

    and yet it is the focus what we do and what we say

    what we give we energy

    so you spend your life a work

    acting like the money will be with you in the hearse

    leaving all you family and friends to fight and search 

    that when you see the snakes come out and act like they deserve

    like them put you on reserve
