Emawk - Amadou lyrics
[Emawk - Amadou lyrics]
On the news, on the news
Nothing new, nothing new amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou
Only crime is our hue and a fear
Of that truth
Should we fear for our mothers?
Will they have to bury us too?
Amadou, Amadou amadou, Amadou
Are we wrong if we riot for
The right to be here?
To take the faith from our elders
And make something of ourselves (Oh)
Amadou, Amadou i think about them too
What goes through a mind in
A moment to think it's
Fair to take the breath from
A young man's soul?
Life from a young woman's home
I fear for our mothers
Will they have to bury us too?
Is the problem in the fingertips or
Is it in the bones?
Is it in the structures older than
The hopefuls that they stole?
Is it in the hearts with
Broken moral compasses and treasure troves?
The blood, it stains their clothes
Amadou, do you know?
The problem's in the fingertips
The problem's in the bones
The problem's in the structures older than
The hopefuls that they stole
The problem's in the hearts with broken
Moral compasses and treasure troves
The blood, it stains their clothes
Amadou, do you know? Amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou we are you, we are you
We are you, we are you
And we have not forgotten about you
Amadou, Amadou amadou, Amadou
I'm afraid to be here in
This world that you knew
But I'll do what I can
If you promise me this
That you'll watch over us
So our mothers back home will not
Have to bury us too
Amadou, Amadou amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou amadou, Amadou
