- Buju Banton How Could You 歌詞
- Buju Banton
- It is real, as real as it seem
Dont you live on illusion
And dont you ever try to live a dream
I sing... [Chorus]
Buju say how could you rise up every living day
Telling yourself everything is
OK When you look at life youll see it slipping away
Lord knows who feels it every moment every day
Those why cry for the poor get neglected, rejected, put to death
How much more will we take?
Did you father work off his shirt, blood, sweat and tears
Dont tell me that you forgot
Being oppressed by the oppressors, all different types of stress
For the sorrows of the poor, they dont even care less
Refuse to deal with world atrocities, civil unrest
Instead theyre building penitentiaries as big as a birds nest
Saying we are to be blamed for whatever what mess [Chorus]
Some say, how are you going?
They want to know if we are mine
Not until we reposess whats rightfully mine
Sitting down for so long we do belive it is time
Everyone is entitled to food at mealtime
Til then, well struggle for rights, no more racial fights
Degradation to the highest heights
All obstacles as a people we have to cross
With health and strength we all can get across
Happenings of yesterday are just a thing of the past [Chorus]
Dont you cry little one, wipe your tears, sing my song
Though were in a strange land with evil ones
Help the weak if youre strong, iron sharpens iron
When youre down take a look at where the help is coming from
What about the masterminds with the foolproof plans
What about the geniuses who achieve grade one [Chorus] [Repeat verse 1 and verse 2]
