Running, Falling

Lucky Dube · House Of Exile [1992]

Something somewhere



Is calling out your name



In the middle of the night



Your eyes go wide



I see your legs shaking



You don't believe it's happening



Oppressor man ye



Don't tell me you are scared now



It's not the end of your life



But it's the end of your kingdom



It's not the end of your life



But it's the end of your shitty kingdom



Oppressor man you running



Your kingdom is falling



Your kingdom is falling



Your kingdom is falling



Your kingdom is falling



Yo yo yo yo



You run for your gun to your surprise it's empty



'Cause we had those bullets



For breakfast Jah children did ye ye ye



Teargas won't make me cry anymore



Your handcuffs won't hurt my arms anymore



It's not the end of your life



But it's the end of your kingdom



It's not the end of your life



But it's the end of your shitty kingdom



Oppressor man you running



Your kingdom is falling



Your kingdom is falling



Your kingdom is falling



Your kingdom is falling



I won't do to you what you did to my people ye



Four hundred years ago, four hundred years ago



Turning them to slaves making them your prisoners



You can run but you can't hide



Your time has come now now now



Oppressor man you running



Your kingdom's falling



Oppressor man you running



Your kingdom's falling



Oppressor man you running



Your kingdom's falling
