Kele - Cyril's Blood lyrics

The more they try to fuck with him
The more he stands his ground
He's reading dirty cartoons and
Playing guitar all day
They will not let him finish or
Make up for lost time
But he's sure that he'll make it home fine

His eyes are locked in battle
He will not be talked down
He's rolling dice for 6's
And drinking palm wine
He gave himself a new name
The only one he'll answer to
It takes a lion to tame a leopard

Ya da-were ya da-were
Cyril's blood is flowing in me
Ya da-were ya da-were
Cyril's blood is flowing in me

Ya da-were ya da-were
Cyril's blood is flowing in me
Ya da-were ya da-were
Cyril's blood is flowing in me

There's juju in the village
They put a hex on him
You can lead a bull to water
But you cannot make him drink
Wife number 1 is sulking but
She'll get used to it
One woman is never enough

The more they try to hold him
The more he pulls away
No time for city people or
What the elders say
The problem child is golden and
It's time to be saved
If you've got to fight you must be brave

Ya da-were ya da-were
Cyril's blood is flowing in me
Ya da-were ya da-were
Cyril's blood is flowing in me
Ya da-were ya da-were
Cyril's blood is flowing in me
Ya da-were ya da-were
Cyril's blood is flowing in me

The troublemakers in my blood
All down my line are on my mother's side

The more they try to fuck with him
The more he stands his ground
He's reading dirty cartoons
And playing jacks in the yard
They will not let him finish
Or make up for lost time
But he's sure that he'll make it home fine
