1984 Lyrics – Joey Vantes

1984 Lyrics by Joey Vantes

Simmer down, shake me down, don’t want me around (simmer down)
I call it like it is, who got the scales now (yea)
Circle ’round my freedom, all these demons loud (very loud)
Tell me how to think and Imma double down

Simmer down, shake me down, don’t want me around
I call it like it is, who got the scales now (yea)
Circle ’round my freedom, all these demons loud (whoo)
Tell me how to think and Imma double down

Caught me in a slide, I’m burning propaganda
Ripping off the packet, see the sickle hammer
We’ve been beating odds like we playin’ {?}
Lay a line for me only like we stat at grandma’s

I know they wanna get me in a room with a whole platoon, they don’t like the tunes I been playin’
They wanna break us down, take our dignity
I been saving stars, take the scars from the enemy
I ain’t a MAGA rapper

I don’t do it for a pastor
It’s a twisted global system
Now they tryna force the facts
Freedom always been my passion

Why they puttin’ us in classes
Feedin’ each one of us different
They divide us, then they laughin’
Simmer down, shake me down, don’t want me around (simmer down)

I call it like it is, who got the scales now (yea)
Circle ’round my freedom, all these demons loud (very loud)
Tell me how to think and Imma double down
Simmer down, shake me down, don’t want me around

I call it like it is, who got the scales now (yea)
Red dot on my feet, they draw a circle round (whoo)
Tell me how to think and Imma double down
Interrogation

Lies I’m facin’
Fists hit places
Block on {?}
Fall down, get back up

I gotta stay patient
Now they sinning to stop all the running hit
Said if I don’t renounce, then my family gettin’ lit
Meant aside, now you gotta pick a side

If you really don’t conform, they gon’ try to take your life
There’s no such thing as your rise, it’s a rolling of a dice
I already chose a lane
It ain’t left and it ain’t right

Pilate asked the question: “What is truth? Facts are not necessarily the truth. What is truth?”
Simmer down, shake me down, don’t want me around (simmer down)
I call it like it is, who got the scales now (yea)
Circle ’round my freedom, all these demons loud (very loud)

Tell me how to think and Imma double down
Simmer down, shake me down, don’t want me around
I call it like it is, who got the scales now (yea)
Red dot on my feet, they draw a circle round (whoo)

Tell me how to think and Imma —
Now the Bible speaking of the Antichrist says in Second Thessalonians 2: “This lawless man is produced by the Spirit of evil and the force, wonders and science and falsehood can divide. To those to come in this dying world, he will come with evil’s undiluted power to deceive for they have refused the love of truth, which could’ve saved them. These men deliberately forfeited the truth of God and accepted a lie. God therefore handed them over to disgraceful passions. They see truth as a lie and a lie as the truth. And they make money, power, sex experience and other things their goal and their gods and accept the lies of the Devil. And many young people that are here tonight are accepting the whispers of Satan in your ear
