Running, Falling

Lucky Dube

5

Something somewhere

Is calling out your name

in the middle of the night

Your eyes go wide

I see your legs are shaking

You don't believe it's happening

Oppressorman ye

Don't tell me you are scared now

It's not the end of your life

But it's the end of your kingdom

It's not the end of your life

But it's the end of your shitty kingdom

Chorus:

Oppressor man you running

Your kingdom is falling (x3)

Yo Yo Yo Yo

You run for your gun

To your surprise it's empty

'Cause we had those bullets

For breakfast

Jah children did ye ye ye

Teargas won't make me cry anymore

Your handcuffs won't hurt my arms

anymore

It's not the end of your life

But it's the end of your kingdom

It's not the end of your life

But it's the end of your shitty kingdom

Chorus:

Oppressor man you running

Your kingdom is falling (x3)

I won't do to you

What you did to my people

Four hundred years ago (x2)

Turning them to slaves

Making them your prisoners

You can run but you can't hide

Your time has come now now now

Chorus:

Oppressor man you running

Your kingdom is falling (x3)
