Row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, and oh and falls
You better, row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, overloads
You gotta, row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, and oh and falls
You better, row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, overloads
I said now
Row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, and oh and falls
You better, row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, overloads
You gotta, row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, and oh and falls
You better, row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, overloads
I said now (hey, hey)
You ever seen my place, before the waves came and took, over the land?
Well, lemme explain and show you еxactly where I came from
Lеt me zoom to a meadow
Where I came through as a fellow
The place I bloomed, age two, Mobutu Seko
And platoons from the roots, encircled
The whole place was doomed from the get go
As soon as Lumumba got let go
Inducing, delusive, abusive ghettos
That brutes bruised, imbrued their metals in blood
That spewed and nestled
You hear bad news, there’s blues and hell so
Cruel, these rebels, fuelled by minerals
They use kids too, to move and peddle
Corrupt views, blood jewels, and threats go out
To create more clueless levels, of rules that bled throughout
The whole place, the court plays games, that are mental, yeah
Never really thought about all the pain here
I was just a child, living in my mind see
Never really saw the lies, I just saw the valleys (valise)
Suitcase, in case, we had to go leave
We pray, each day, that the flipping country
Will be saved, okay, we’ve got to go leave
‘Cause morality is more torn
And I saw more vanity, being born
Spawned, is more tragedy
Forewarned by the scorned history
That dawned in here, (here, here)
Oh you see I, and the family, had go from here
Overseas and oceans, yeah
‘Cause the commotion there, was a problem, swear
Really gotta get a boat in here
And coast to another coast, ’cause the hope was teared
Row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, and oh and falls
You better, row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, overloads
You gotta, row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, and oh and falls
You better, row the boat, row the boat
Before it, overloads, overloads
I said now (hey, hey)
And it’s serious, in Syria, there’s insidious areas
With interiors that are in serious imperialistic periods, and
There’s inferior regimes that seem to imprison the civilians
With incredible and hideous schemes
That ain’t brilliant, seen
These Machiavellian schemes
That have captured and capped a million dreams
And fractured a billion peeps
But we practice resilience and kill the disease
(Jheeze) we go and achieve dreams, please
We’ll never believe, that we are nothing, you better believe
That we’re gonna make it in this place, uh, preach
“Yeah so, er, where we gon’ go next?”
“Wait didn’t you ask question, a bit, last last time?”
“Yeah, but you know, I just wanted know”
“Look, look, look, look, I’ll just bring ya back to when I was a baby”
“Aight”
