Testo Continent - Samory I feat. Jesse Royal
Testo della canzone Continent (Samory I feat. Jesse Royal), tratta dall'album Continent
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Easy on the eyes
Heavy on the heart
The land from which we rise
Been taken all apart
Selfishness and greed
Leading our choices
Take more than we need
While the land is left to bleed
Tears of my continent
Won't fall forever
There'll come a time
When we'll all draw the line
Tears, but my continent
Won't break, no, never
Know that the best is yet to come
When we move as one (uh, uh, uh)
When we move as one (uh, uh, uh)
We went from literally being first
To who they deliberately treat the worst (yea)
Keeping my people stuck in reverse
So, how Africa bleeds just to quench your thirst?
How could the richest place on Earth
Be confused 'bout what we're worth?
Uh, I wonder when you a-go stop it
Use your privilege fi pillage, I man village just to profit
But, I man a-di longest liver
Fertile soil and resilient rivers
Human resource, significant figures
Earth cornerstone, backbone and pillars
No more gold diggers
Dry mi tears before dem reach mi cheek, uh-ha
Stand up and nuh fraid fi speak, uh-ha
As we fight for equality
The only way forward is unity (yea)
Tears of my continent
Won't fall forever
There'll come a time
When we'll all draw the line
Tears, but my continent
Won't break, no, never
Know that the best is yet to come
When we move as one
When we move as one
The darkest of deeds will be brought to the light
From the lowest of depths to the highest of heights
When the ones who mislead take a stand and unite
And your system will be brought to its knees (brought to its knees)
Tears of my continent
Won't fall forever
There'll come a time
When we'll all draw the line
Tears, but my continent
Won't break, no, never
Know that the best is yet to come
When we move as one
When we move as one, hey-yea
