...someone in the city baby... |
|
Heart red hot the cold the night |
|
Fear so near behind my back |
|
Soul's on fire brain is dead |
|
Shed a tear for blood we shared |
|
For all the things you gave, thank you |
|
For all the things |
|
I've been missing you |
|
Been missing you for so long |
|
I've been missing you |
|
Been missing you for so long |
|
I've been missing you |
|
Heart red hot the cold the night |
|
The fear so near behind my back |
|
The souls still fights |
|
The brain is dead |
|
I shed a tear for blood we shared |
|
For women's cry |
|
The truth that failed |
|
Hunger took your child away |
|
So the men they sucked your blood |
|
Fear is back the cold the night |
|
Fire fuse the flame explosion |
|
Nations feel the blame |
|
Corrosion |
|
Heart broke |
|
Miss the days |
|
Touched and walked and kissed your ways |
|
Heart broke |
|
Miss the days |
|
Touched and walked and kissed your ways |
|
Missing you... |
|
Oooohhh |
|
I shed my tears for you now |
|
Let it be |
|
I spill my blood for you now |
|
Let it be |
|
You're on your own my child now |
|
Your pain to real to feel now |
|
The world should be ashamed |
|
Now |
|
Whole world should be... |
|
Yeah, yeah |
|
Common |
|
Beneath these big blue Afrikan sky's |
|
Where the devil rapes slaves so the babies get aids |
|
Crime pays in my neighborhood of clubs, drugs, hookers and thugs |
|
Seven in a room attacked by an army of bugs |
|
Kids never seen meat in a week! |
|
And the job situation got a brother bare feet |
|
But I keep on keeping on! Black man in the Motherland |
|
Understand how to be strong! |
|
I'm a southern guy blood running deep in the soil |
|
Descending from kings and queens original |
|
From Cairo to the Camissa, I'm in love with ya |
|
But I had to leave to understand that my |
|
Soul is connected to the bush and the jungle |
|
From the roar of the lion to the beat of the |
|
Warrior drum, feel the burn of the kalahari sun |
|
See the joy and the pain in the eyes of |
|
The woman and child in the city street |
|
Begging to eat while daddy's in the yard drunk |
|
Falling asleep. Can you believe! |
|
Used to have both hands out, tears in my eyes |
|
Till I saw the bigger picture and it filled me with pride. |
|
Been missing you for so long |
|
I've been missing you |
|
Been missing you for so long |
|
I've been missing you |
|
*Dancing, dancing* |
|
(E.J.) |
|
Let me shout from di mountain top, |
|
Me ah missin' di place of me birth non stop. |
|
Me wan fi drink from uno fountain drop, |
|
It's a yearnin' so deep inside my heart. |

|
Been missing you for so long |
|
I've been missing you |
|
Been missing you for so long |
|
I've been missing you |
|
Heart red hot the cold the night |
|
The fear so near behind my back |
|
The souls still fights |
|
The brain is dead |
|
I shed a tear for blood we shared |
|
For women's cry |
|
The truth that failed |
|
Hunger took your child away |
|
So the men they sucked your blood |
