Baobabs |
You have tamed me |
Now you must take me |
How am I supposed to be |
I don’t have my thorns now |
I feel them sprouting |
They’ll grow right though if I don’t watch it |
They’ll grow right through even if I watch it |
And a sunset couldn’t save me now |
These baobabs and baobabs and baobabs some more |
But you can’t outwait fate |
And you have tamed me |
Now you must take me |
Taa-tt-ttaa-ttt-taa-tt-taake |
And I wouldn’t raise my child inside this city anyway |
They grow up too savvy and they grow up too fast |
And they know about buying shit and they know about sex |
And they know about investment banking and also about brokerage firms |
And they know about the numbers and they know about the words |
And they know about the bottom line and also about stones |
And they know about careers and about the real deals |
And they all grow up and become people’s people with people skills |
But you have tamed me |
Now you must take me |
How am I supposed to be |
I don’t have my thorns now |
