Gatekeepers

Hey
Sanwa, sanwa, sanwa, sanwa, sanwa, sanwa

All of sudden, they know what is right for you
They never seem to know what is wrong for you
They never seem to allow you to be yourself
They never seem to know what is wrong for you

'Cause they are gatekeepers (mm), gatekeepers
Gatekeeper
'Cause they are gatekeepers, gatekeepers
Gatekeeper (ebe ya, salute)

Eh (advance, advance, advance)
Eh (attention, jump on them, hi-yah!)
Eh (j-jump, hei)
Eh (they wan chance you)

You see?
You see how they think?
You see how they move as soon as you blink?
You gave them grace, they assume you shrink
But they can never take you from your peace and reality
Can you feel?
Can you feel the march of the descendants?
All them years deciding who or who should not succeed
After a hundred years of being observant
We cracked the codes and formulas (yes)

They want you slaughtered due to their manipulation (then)
Sugar-coated your true form, disguised as education (then)
Told yourself, "Hey, wrap it up as tradition" (then)
Fed your lies, called it moral conviction (then)
Made you doubt your roots, labeled it superstition (then)
Turned kings into workers, no recognition
We have now recognized the killer of progress, ya see?

'Cause they are gatekeepers, gatekeepers
Gatekeeper
They are gatekeepers (leh, leh)
And they are gatekeepers (leh, leh)
(Where is the gatekeeper? Leh, leh)

And they are gatekeepers (you was where?)
(That is meant to be, meant to be found, leh, leh)
(Gatekeeper, where are you?) They are gatekeepers
(I can hear you, I can see you, icha to dowo)

They are gatekeepers
They are gate- (gatekeeper, where are you?)
They are gatekeepers (heh, we are now the gatekeepers)
And they are gate- (we flow the local way)
They are gatekeepers
They are gate- (japa men), uh, mm
Sanwa, sanwa
