How Could You |
| M. MyrieC. |
| Dodd |
| It is real, as real as it seem |
| Don’t you live on illusion |
| And don’t you ever try to live a dream |
| I sing… |
| Chorus |
| Buju say how could you rise up every living day |
| Telling yourself everything is OK |
| When you look at life you’ll see it slipping away |
| Lord knows who feels it every moment every day |
| Those why cry for the poor get neglected, rejected, put to death |
| How much more will we take? |
| Did you father work off his shirt, blood, sweat and tears |
| Don’t tell me that you forgot |
| Being oppressed by the oppressors, all different types of stress |
| For the sorrows of the poor, they don’t even care less |
| Refuse to deal with world atrocities, civil unrest |
| Instead they’re building penitentiaries as big as a bird’s nest |
| Saying we are to be blamed for whatever what mess |
| Chorus |
| Some say, how are you going? |
| They want to know if we are mine |
| Not until we reposess what’s rightfully mine |
| Sitting down for so long we do belive it is time |
| Everyone is entitled to food at mealtime |
| 'Til then, we’ll struggle for rights, no more racial fights |
| Degradation to the highest heights |
| All obstacles as a people we have to cross |
| With health and strength we all can get across |
| Happenings of yesterday are just a thing of the past |
| Chorus |
| Don’t you cry little one, wipe your tears, sing my song |
| Though we’re in a strange land with evil ones |
| Help the weak if you’re strong, iron sharpens iron |
| When you’re down take a look at where the help is coming from |
| What about the masterminds with the foolproof plans |
| What about the geniuses who achieve grade one |
| Chorus |
| Repeat verse 1 and verse 2 |
