Diallo
Boy, I'm so tired
I'll be glad when I get inside the house
Oh, I dropped my keys
Oh, what this bright light?
Oh my God, they must gonna rob me
Who these people with them all at they gonna rob me
I'm gonna take out my wallet to make
sure they just get the money and nothin' else
Oh, It's the Police (Ahh) I feel so much better
I will show them, I have my ID
So they know I'm good people
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil for Thou art with me, Thou ride with me
J-J-Jah, Ras-tafari
I can't forget you knotty dreads, y'all up in here
I gotta respect that, you know what I'm sayin'?
Night is in the air
Enemy on the borderline
Who'll be the next to fire?
41 shots by Diallo's side
You said he reached sir
But he didn't have no piece sir
But now he rest in peace sir
In the belly of the beast sir
You guys are vampires
In the middle of the night
Suckin' on human blood
Is that your appetite?
You said he reached sir
But he didn't have no piece sir
But now he rest in peace sir
In the belly of the beast sir
Have you ever been shot 41 times?
Have you ever screamed and no one heard you cry?
Have you ever died only so you can live?
Have you ever lived only so you can die again, then be born again?
From these enemies, on the borderline
Who'll be the next to fire?
41 shots by Diallo's side
You said he reached sir
But he didn't have no piece sir
But now he rest in peace sir
In the belly of the beast sir
You guys are vampires
In the middle of the night
Suckin' on human blood
Is that your appetite sir?
You said he reached sir
But he didn't have no piece sir
But now he rest in peace sir
In the belly of the beast sir
Diallo, Diallo, similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo, you told me the murder was an error
Diallo, Diallo, but every man will be judged
Diallo, Diallo, according to his words
Have you ever been held against your will?
Taken to a dark place where not even Scientists can reveal?
So what is for Ceasar
Let it be for Ceasar
'Cause we don't want no peace
We want equal rights and justice for
Diallo, Diallo, similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo, you told me that the murder was an error
Diallo, Diallo, but every man will be judged
Diallo, Diallo, according to his words
You know what?
You told me that I wouldn't understand (Oh-h-h, why?)
Tonight some cry in the streets a burial
Survival of the fittest, only the strong will survive
How can I survive with 41 shots by my side?
You guys are murderers
In the middle of the night
Killin' innocent people
Is that your appetite ohh?
You said he reached sir
But he didn't have no piece sir
But now he rest in peace sir
In the belly of the beast sir
You guys are vampires
In the middle of the night
Suckin' on human blood
Is that your appetite?
You said he reached sir
But he didn't have no piece sir
But now he rest in peace sir
In the belly of the beast sir
Lick a shot for
Diallo, Diallo, similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo, I can hear your spirit callin', I can hear it
Diallo, Diallo, 10,000 chariots with no riders
Diallo, Diallo, they on they way to America
I hear the tribe singin', they're sayin'
Diallo, Diallo, tuye' Diallo
Diallo, Diallo, tuye' Diallo
Diallo, Diallo, tuye' Diallo
Diallo, Diallo, tuye' Diallo
