Lucky Dube - Running, Falling

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
Oppressor man, 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

Oppressor man, you running
Your kingdom is falling
Oppressor man, you running
Your kingdom is falling
Oppressor man, you running
Your kingdom is falling
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

Oppressor man, you running
Your kingdom is falling
Oppressor man, you running
Your kingdom is falling
Oppressor man, you running
Your kingdom is falling
Yo, yo, yo, yo

(..)

I won't do to you
What you did to my people
Four hundred years ago
Turning them to slaves
Making them your prisoners

I said I won't do to you
What you did to my people
Four hundred years ago
Making them to slaves
Turning them your prisoners

You can run but you can't hide
Your time has come, now, now, now

Oppressor man, you running
Your kingdom is falling
Oppressor man, you running
Your kingdom is falling
