Nafets - Ivory and Silver

{Chorus}
Foolish men
Polishing your ivory and silver
Foolish men
Polishing your ivory and silver
(Don't you know that what does not glitter is gold?)

{Verse 1}
’Cause what you gotta do, you gotta do it
And what you gotta choose, you gotta choose it, oh-
Oh, that's what I tried to tell you
But you don't listen
Oh, you don’t listen to me
So I think that you need to take some time for yourself
'Cause lately you and I don't seem to see eye to eye
Or anything and everything
And the times are changing, hope they don't change me
'Cause change ain't easy like it's do-re-mi-fa-so-la
Take off to the solar
Never coming down, you gon' see mе when it’s over
High up on my sofa
Why you in my house?
Plеase don’t forget to take yo fuckin' shoes off
And holler at your boy if you see my house keys
’Cause I ain't see the sun for six weeks
And I ain't see my dad for six months

{Chorus}
Foolish men
Polishing your ivory and silver
Foolish men
Polishing your ivory and silver
('Cause what you gotta do, you gotta do it)
(And what you gotta choose, you gotta choose it)

{Verse 2}
My father’s father was a breach
And my father's father's father was a breach
And my mother's mother's mother didn't speak English
And their granddaughter's son sure do not speak English
But I guess that's what happens when you cross the sea
These trials and tribulations cannot break my dreams
Curry chicken on the stove (What up?)
Grain season on the go (Damn)
