作曲 : Bart-Williams | |
Verse | |
This city ain't for the livin' | |
It is for the dead | |
And this place ain't for the givin' | |
It's for the ones that take | |
Nine to five twenty four seven | |
Everyday's the same | |
Don't wanna die this way | |
I wanna fly away | |
The meter ah run | |
And soon we gotta pay | |
There's a traffic jam | |
On the fast lane | |
If I could I woulda run | |
But I'm too far away | |
Mystery Babylon get off my brain | |
You're callin' this freedom | |
Tru' you no see no chains | |
Look what I've become | |
- A stranger to myself | |
I can't think straight | |
Let me hear you if you feel the same | |
Chorus | |
Gotta rememba | |
The dreams we used to have | |
Gotta rememba | |
Things used to be so simple then | |
Gotta rememba | |
Rememba and learn | |
And never surrender (never surrender) | |
This is my life my only turn | |
Verse | |
When you meet the King of Kings | |
Will it matter then? | |
All your dimond rings | |
Will they matter then? | |
When we get an inch | |
We take a mile my friend | |
Tell me what are you respected for? | |
You think you got a lot of game (yau) | |
Nuff people once were black | |
And now them no black again | |
Reachin' out to all the rude boys | |
And the shotter them | |
Reachin' out to all the good girls | |
And the hooker them | |
From those that push afros | |
Down to the red neck cracker them | |
From the highest of uptown | |
Down to the gutter them | |
From those that love black music | |
Down to the rocker them | |
(he tried to kill my daddy) | |
Not again! | |
Chorus | |
Gotta rememba | |
yes I gotta yes you gotta yes we gotta | |
babatunde ina di place, shashamani ina di place yagaya | |
Don't just stand there ana gaze |
