[Felexplaina Kuti] I am going to play for you our first tune tonight it s going to be about four tunes And the first tune, here it goes 1, 2, 3
[Verse 1] Now when them fights go down Them lights go down In villas and the village people might be round They say that all the people gonna like me now Because I talk about the issues in this life we found All through the country people gettin' slain Priority religion disobey, get hanged I know some little kids quick to get militant Just give them packs of the gun They really feel the clips They told me not to worry bout the struggle And they don't gotta worry cause it's subtle Tell 'em about the government takin' away the light Aviation is ruined they say when you take a flight Say when you take the continent from the white man threw White man colonize wealth can't do They fly G5 but they gotta land too We explode like the landmines that they ran through
[Verse 2] So we try palm trees in the sky It's a beautiful day I am just happy to be alive I am playin' with slingshots with renewable goods Think you got it tough because you're in the hood, negiative I am positive you would be in upset mode When you wear the same thing like you got a dress code I guess I am guilty of being privileged Cause while I am in the booth my cousin is in the village I seen a boy with no father His mom ain't around, life's harder Picked up soccer he tryin' to go farther Hair is a mess can't find him no barber And this is what its like When you ain't got a life I'm all they got left But they trying to do right And they feel my plight They giving them insight I know we gotta win So then fly me a kite
[Hook]
[Verse 3] We get by, the weather is just right Say good morning when I see you Cause I gotta be polite And I am livin' something different Cause this can't be the life You don't got a chance so you better focus on your plans I try to grind like children that sell pure water The land of the lawless muy slaughter Negotiate your price I'll take your offer In the market where they sell them what did that cost her I try to chase the gold out here But honestly its bumpy like the roads out here And I advise if your salary is handsome Vulu feli feli they will hold you for ransom If you gotta take a glimpse of my family life You will lose your mind Chris Brown on Grammy night And this is what the news don't show There is nothing on the table so the dudes the dude's don't grow
[Hook]
[Chiddy Bang: Speaking] Yeah, you see what this is man We done came through all types of os We still got people out there now You know what I am saying I am doing this for my cousin Remi We gonna make it out the village some day Sooner....later
