Long time Omie Max Sedgley (Roni Size / King Kooba) is back with a brilliant new LP Shedonism coming this Fall. His fourth single Too Big to Fail channels Gil-Scott Heron and Brian Jackson for a protest song featuring Tasita D’Mour. Max explains the message is “why do the big players get away with murder while the man in the street doesn’t even get a second chance?” Stay tuned for more!
lyrics
No one wants to lead us, it’s the same everywhere that you go
And they just want to bleed us, only care if their profits are low
And they know how to read us, all the data that they need to know
Can’t even turn to Jesus, oh when when when will they reap what they sow
If you stand and wanna fight, forget your human rights
You better have what it takes, you can’t make one mistake When you think of giving in with the skin you’re living in When you only get one chance, you better put up those hands
I wish I wish I wish I wish
I wish I was too big to fail
I wish I was too big to fail
I wish I was too big to fail oh Lord I wish I was too big to fail
They’ll never show contrition, sack you all and then take a raise
They lie about emissions, they don’t care if they add to the haze
Just another acquisition, please don’t say that crime never pays
No good signing a petition, it doesn’t matter they won’t change their ways
If you stand and wanna fight, forget your human rights
You better have what it takes, you can’t make one mistake When you think of giving in with the skin you’re living in When you only get one chance, you better put up those hands
I wish I wish I wish I wish
I wish I was too big to fail
I wish I was too big to fail
I wish I was too big to fail oh Lord I wish I was too big to fail
oh yeah, yeah Too big to fail
