Now what?
Our houses are bombed
Nowhere to go
Our country starts to explode
And it leaves behind
A whole load
Of pain
You would expect us to start to lose hope
But we keep up our game
Sliding a few times off of the lane
But its okay
But then a bullet goes directly through
To one of my country
Touches his heart and he dies a martyr
And that's what triggers us most
Are we close to the end of the world
Or what has this world come to
I promised myself once
To never ask help from you
But as blood was shed bucket by bucket
I couldn't help to ask, why don't you suck it?
Your complaining about how you don't have the right colour of heels
While others are suffering
Cause someone is stabbing them with steel
Do you not have a heart to feel?
Maybe you guys didn't
But I knew it wasn't
It wasn't an honest and realistic reason
But I continued my life
finished season after season
And a bullet shot out again
And I thought to my self
About the one
Behind the gun
Are you sure your real men
And I know if I asked him face to face
I'd get a hung head in shame
That's why I connected those people with the word lame
Just if they could die under the rain
But I think it would be better. More painful.
To die in shameBut you know one thing I'd never do
It's never ask for their name
They let my people live through hell and caused them pain
So ill n e v e r be honoured to know their name
