Rememba - Patrice

this city ainЂ™t for the livinЂ™

it is for the dead

and this place ainЂ™t for the givinЂ™

itЂ™s for the ones that take

nine to five twenty four seven

everydayЂ™s the same

donЂ™t wanna die this way

I wanna fly away

the meter ah run

and soon we gotta pay

thereЂ™s a traffic jam

on the fast lane

if I could I woulda run

but IЂ™m too far away

Mystery Babylon get off my brain

youЂ™re callinЂ™ this freedom

truЂ™ you no see no chains

look what IЂ™ve become

— a stranger to myself

I canЂ™t think straight

let me hear you if you feel the same

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

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

reachinЂ™ out to all the rude boys

and the shotter them

reachinЂ™ 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

(Ђњhe tried to kill my daddyЂќ)

not again!

gotta rememba

Ђ¦yes I gotta yes you gotta yes we gottaЂ¦

Ђ¦babatunde ina di place, shashamani ina di place yagaya

donЂ™t just stand there ana gazeЂ¦
