Yeah, I don't wanna live here anymore Sick of all the blood on the floor Yeah I'm sick of them waging this war My people lived everyday like this, way I before was born Rape and murder are becoming the norm Majority dead and gone So I sleep with an A-K Hoping that will help me weather the storm I'm ready for war Won't settle til I settle the score I ain't letting em tread on anything My weapons are drawn They gunned my family down, right in front if my house Remember the murderous shouts of them gathered around I tried to run out, but the rebel stuck a gun in my mouth And told me I'd be dead like them if I decided to shout But my dad played dead, grabbed the gun from his waist then Jumped up, held it to the mans head, then said Run son So I did what my dad said Heard a bang, turned around, hit the ground, dad's dead You could've had another life A life on the otherside Surrounded by violence and gunfire Where you have to fight to stay alive And at any given time the bullets fly You could've had another life A life where your parents died If you survive will rely on a pair of dice You tell me you have problems you're ain't thinking right You know why? Cos you could've had another life We are running and running and running and running We're climbing on top of the train in the hundreds If we stay at home we're becoming the hunted We've gotta leave otherwise days are all numbered I wonder if we make it to the border Will we have enough food n water I got a young son and a young daughter And I'm tryna keep em safe from the slaughter I'm risking everything I have just to get away But I know we'll die if we say we wanna stay So what choice do I have, but the death train? Surviving the train ride is a plan best laid I'm scared, I pray to god above, but I wear a brave face for my little ones Cos they're all I've got The train takes off, rolling on Couple hours in, nothing wrong Then it stops... Gunshots You could've had another life A life on the otherside Surrounded by violence and gunfire Where you have to fight to stay alive And at any given time the bullets fly You could've had another life A life where your parents died If you survive will rely on a pair of dice You tell me you have problems You're ain't thinking right You know why? Cos you could've had another life Do you own a car? Roof above your head? Warm and cosy bed? Then you're better off in this world than 75 percent Pay the rent? Clothes up on your back? With some change to spend? You're in the top 8 percent, of the world my friend You are blessed, born in a lucky country Never truly known hunger, fear and the suffering Five hundred million people deal with everyday So I laugh in your face when you complain I can go to sleep at night, not afraid Not worried about my house being torn up when the bullets spray Order at a Cafe, whatever's on the menu Hit up Woolworths or a drive through just to get food We've got everything, we could ever want, on tap Our problems don't hold any weight, know that People grateful everyday to see the sun rise No lie Think twice You could've had another life You could've had another life A life on the otherside Surrounded by violence and gunfire Where you have to fight to stay alive And at any given time the bullets fly You could've had another life A life where your parents died If you survive will rely on a pair of dice You tell me you have problems You're ain't thinking right You know why? Cos you could've had another life
