Yah yah yah yah yah yah Ya yah yah yaaaaaaah Yah yah How much evil do we gotta face When the powers the be Want you to know your place Made of shade with amazing grace I can't be tamed, a fractured ray I danced in rain, the ego first The coup comes next Umbilical of lost action Around the neck, the love is lost You're given, no respect Change becomes a blank check The cheque bounced The pograms start The bloodshed licks it lips This soon to be bloodied script Oppressed pick up the masters whip A nimble throat is slit The men are hung Jackals, once brothers Now feast upon their young Split between four tongues Nigerian men pick up American guns Europe scowls and takes it cut The wound festers Poor seen as the infection Barricades built to teach lessons Massacres Through hunger games Mockingbirds Get killed for food To live becomes so crude Skeletons lie pecked In hollow nude Rest is consumed on Irish news From Aengus Concern grew My grandfathers name was Patrick If you only you knew Of these Yellow Suns But you only know half Of these Yellow Suns But you only know half Only half These These Yellow Yellow Suns I been lost in the sunken place I been trying to go Where they don't know my face Put the gun in my mouth Pull the trigger Follow my people Blackness, a better state Hopes not to be Overthrown by the C.I.A Make me M.I.A Or A.I.M at these paper planes Made of blood money That bomb sacred things Africa a play pen They Torture us in Rob and loot Then pollute Give us squalor Tell us to Be grateful that they didn't shoot Modern slaves Exploit their soul Use em for your shoe Bitch, what you know of the Bayou Your children look like theirs So Britain never tried to buy you Still, the hand Never fed Slapped you nonetheless None had less Barren land No harvest The famine a state of mind You're hungry See your ears grow red When you see Maireann na daoine ar scáil a chéile Scrawled on the invisible line between You and me In another life I am you So through your timeline Let me, tell me The truth, to you Whose me, in truth To you, I'm lies False lie, so you Are true to me We both see These Yellows suns Cause I only know half I only know half I know these sunsets won't last I know these sunsets won't last I know I know I miss you and I'm not at home with your passing Cigarette smoke drifts through my room I've been thinking a lot about us lately I've been thinking about how not to consume Trying not to get lost in this sunken place My tears fall down my face I miss you Please tell me you remember me in that Space Where time and space don't exist Tucked in that little corner I've been holding this grief inside I Figured I might as well let it all spill I've been holding my tears inside they bled into my quill I've been holding you inside Now I have to let you free I hope you see Me To all the souls that passed rest in peace I love you I wish you peace Andrew Sharon And to my grandfather Patrick Nnaji Rest
