Letter To TINA |
When it pours, it rains |
Makes me appreciate you through the storms, the pain |
How could I ever hate you, I closed the door in your face |
To myself I couldn’t stay true, now I’m no more ashamed |
So TINA let me love you once more |
TINA let me love you once more TINA let me love you yeah |
I’m like TINA TINA TINA |
Baby let me hold you cause my love is getting deeper |
Tired of the way they portray you in the media |
So I’m trying to bring change in the way that they see ya |
Mother who gave birth to the children of Africa |
Now were grown making moves on our own |
Need to let the world know that your home is a healer |
It’s like were fighting the media |
They show us the wrong vibe I’ve been reading up |
I’m trying to show a different side to what they’re feeding us |
Time to regurgitate the lies we’ve been eating up |
I know I chose this life |
I know I’m just a vessel like Joseph’s wife |
It may not be merry but we know we’ll be alright |
And some days seeming scary but were holding on tight |
And this roads getting cold on this mission of life |
My dreams getting bolder as I visualize |
I saw Africa rose from through the vision of Christ |
To follow me on this road and connect to my vibe |
I’m just playing my role in this mission of life |
That’s why I had to go and just rate us were at it |
I saw so many goals in the children’s eye |
But all they wanna show is the children crying |
When it pours, it rains |
Makes me appreciate you through the storms, the pain |
How could I ever hate you, I closed the door in your face |
To myself I couldn’t stay true, now I’m no more ashamed |
So TINA let me love you once more |
TINA let me love you once more TINA let me love you yeah |
(TINA-NA-NA-NA eh) |
I don’t just make music just to make music |
I’m making music to change lives |
I’m making music because I’m proud to be African |
I’m making music because I want to change the perception of Africa |
When I was young, when I was younger… |
The perception of Africa was kids with flies around their mouth’s and hunger |
and poverty and stuff like that |
But were grown now, were successful men, were doing our thing |
And its important that if the media don’t show that, we show that as African men |
So as Fuse ODG I don’t just want to make music just for myself |
I want to make music to change lives and to change the continent |
(TINA-NA-NA-NA eh) |
