I Don’t Want To Be A General

[Intro]
Oh-oh now
I said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh now
Sweet

[Chorus]
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know
Know, know, know, know, know (Yes)
That I don't try now be no general
To end up in a funeral
I don't try now be no general
To achieve only a burial
Oh no, Lordee, Lordee, Lordee, Lord, yeah
Oh no, woah yeah, oh no

[Verse 1]
I say the race is not for the swift but for who can endure it
The race is not for the swift but for who can endure it
So you run like lightning, you crash like thunder, crash on there
Said, you run like lightning, you crash like thunder (Yeah)

[Chorus]
I said you know, you know, you know, you know, you know
I said you know, you know, you know, you know, you know
Yeah, said you know, yeah, said you know
Oh-oh bud, yeah, you know, woah-oh now
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah now, yeah

[Verse 2]
And from the morgue to the cemetery
Take only the youth for no chemistry
From the morgue to the cemetery
Take only the youth for no chemistry

[Bridge]
Said the rankings, they all get spanking
The rankings, they all get spanking
Top rankings, they all get spanking
Yes, rankings, they all get spanking
Pon the banking (Woah yes)
On the banking (Woah-oh now)

[Chorus]
Said, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know
Said, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know
That I don't try now be no general
To end up in no funeral
I don't try now be no general
To end up in a funeral
Oh no, Lordee, Lordee, Lordee, Lord, yes
Oh no, hmm yes, oh no

[Verse 3]
And if you go buy a nuclear
And if you go buy a machine
And if you go buy [?]
I said you come from a wrong lane

[Chorus]
Said, you can not be no general
You will end up in a funeral
You can not be no general
You'll end up in a funeral
Yes, woah yeah, oh yes
Lordee, Lordee, Lordee, Lord, yeah
Yeah, woah yeah, oh no, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh yeah

[Outro]
Don't want to, don't want to be
Don't want to be no general, no general
Can not afford to be, no way
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, no general, no general, no-no
No-no-no (Woah yeah)
No-no, can I, can I ever be
