Someone in the city baby
Heart red hot the cold the night
Fear so near behind my back
Soul's on fire brain is dead
Shed a tear for blood we shared
For all the things you gave thank you
For all the things
I've been missing you
Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you
Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you
Heart red hot the cold the night
The fear so near behind my back
The souls still fights
The brain is dead
I shed a tear for blood we shared
For women's cry
The truth that failed
Hunger took your child away
So the men they sucked your blood
Fear is back the cold the night
Fire fuse the flame explosion
Nations feel the blame
Corrosion
Heart broke
Miss the days
Touched and walked and kissed your ways
Heart broke
Miss the days
Touched and walked and kissed your ways
Missing you
Oooohhh
I shed my tears for you now
Let it be
I spill my blood for you now
Let it be
You're on your own my child now
Your pain to real to feel now
The world should be ashamed
Now
Whole world should be
Yeah yeah
Common
Beneath these big blue Afrikan sky's
Where the devil rapes slaves
So the babies get aids
Crime pays in my neighborhood of clubs
Drugs hookers and thugs
Seven in a room attacked by an army of bugs
Kids never seen meat in a week
And the job situation got a brother bare feet
But I keep on keeping on
Black man in the Motherland
Understand how to be strong
I'm a southern guy blood
Running deep in the soil
Descending from kings and queens original
From Cairo to the Camissa
I'm in love with ya
But I had to leave to understand that my
Soul is connected to the bush
And the jungle
From the roar of the lion to the beat of the
Warrior drum feel the burn
Of the kalahari sun
See the joy and the pain in the eyes of
The woman and child in the city street
Begging to eat while daddy's
In the yard drunk
Falling asleep Can you believe
Used to have both hands out
Tears in my eyes
Till I saw the bigger picture and
It filled me with pride
Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you
Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you
Dancing dancing
Let me shout from di mountain top
Me ah missin' di place of me birth non stop
Me wan fi drink from uno fountain drop
It's a yearnin' so deep inside my heart
Muma-land what uno been
Through me know now
Dat your heart is aching
Dem nah see now what dem
Ah do fi uno children
Me wan fi know di truth from di start beca'
Dem lie about you
Me wan fi hold you
Cyan't live without you
Me cry out for you
Africa a a a
Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you
Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you
Heart red hot the cold the night
The fear so near behind my back
The souls still fights
The brain is dead
I shed a tear for blood we shared
For women's cry
The truth that failed
Hunger took your child away
So the men they sucked your blood
Fear is back the cold the night
Fire fuse the flame explosion
Nations feel the blame
Corrosion
Heart broke
Miss the days
Touched and walked and kissed your ways
Heart broke
Miss the days
Touched and walked and kissed your ways
I'm missing you
