In “Give Back What You Stole From Me”, Oscar Jerome uses an off-kilter, upbeat soul groove to make a point about modern capitalism and wealth inequality.

I can't understand this greed
How the savage have the power
How the rest, how the rest must plant the seed
For the trees must grow for this concrete river to flow
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
I still don't get this greed
People working to feed their babies
That's the real, thats the real economy
What can you do
You're above this song?
You're not above the trees that grow
We say
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no

So you gone down so low that you got control
Out of her pockets runs a river of silver and gold and blood and bronze and shit and lies
And so struggle, struggle on the street
Of those with compassion
Oh deserve to eat
This is cut throat business
Need no prisoners
No, no, no
So fuck wealth, fuck property
Fuck the power hungry people stopping you and me from being what we wanna be
It feels like we're alive for a reason
The innocent child do
The changing of the seasons
And everyone has demons
We're stabbing at them in the dark
They're feeding on my beating heart
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no
We should stand up and say no da da
Give back what you stole from me
You and I; we both know
There's something, yeah

There's something ah
There's something yeh
There's something that you stole from me
