Socage (/ˈsɒkᵻdʒ/) was one of the feudal duties and hence land tenure forms in the feudal system. A farmer, for example, held the land in exchange for a clearly defined, fixed payment to be made at specified intervals to his feudal lord, who in turn had his own feudal obligations, to the farmer and to the Crown. In theory this might involve supplying the lord with produce but most usually it meant a straightforward payment of cash, i.e., rent.
In this respect it contrasted with other forms of tenure including serjeanty (the farmer paid no rent but had to perform some personal/official service on behalf of his lord, including in times of war) and frankalmoin (some form of religious service). For those higher in the feudal hierarchy, there was also knight-service (military service) as a condition of land tenure.
The English statute Quia Emptores of Edward I (1290) established that socage tenure passed automatically from one generation to the next (unlike leases). As feudalism declined, socage tenure increased until it became the normal form of tenure in the Kingdom of England. In 1660, the Statute of Tenures ended the remaining forms of military service and all freehold tenures were converted into socage.
Hidupmu cuma sekali
Banyak yang tak beres
Problema pelik jadikan dirinya stress
Back to #
Bahwa hidupmu cuma sekali
Tak dapat diulangi 'tuk kau jalani kembali
Keputusan yang kau pilih begitu menentukan
Apakah kesuksesan ato kegagalan kau temukan
Kalau begitu banyak pilihan
Di antara kepentingan yang saling bertindihan
Berbeda sifat, berbeda akal, berbeda rasa
Kalau orang tak a dipaksa
Kalau Indonesia kita kaya
Tanya pada para pemimpin kalau tak percaya
Tapi kenapakah kemakmuran tak merata
Banyak yang kaya
Lebih banyak yang miskin tak tertata
Kalau banyak yang pura-pura miskin
Dibikin-bikin seperti pincang diselipin
Yang kaya ngga peduli
Yang miskin jadi malas
Kalau dosa tuhan yang membalas

Usia dunia semakin senja
Cobaan bencana tak henti datang menerpa
Silih berganti seiring berjalannya hari
Berkemas diri jalannya memang harus dicari
Otak manusia banyak yang tak beres
Terhimpit problema pelik jadikan dirinya stres
Semakin sulit 'tuk peroleh yang namanya duit
Meski seharian berteman panas hitamkan kulit
Di atas langit masih ada langit
Jangan membusung dada buat hati orang sakit
Peduli sesama sesungguhnya sangat indah
Ulurkan tanganmu jangan ragu jangan pergilah
Setiap detik sangat berharga
Jangan pernah buang waktu 'tuk hal tak bermakna
Terlalu singkat durasi hidup di dunia
Nikmatilah segalanya
Jadikan sebagai karunia
