Anni Kookoo
The places that we lived and the living that we did
The places we were put, the things we were given
The things that they took
But they took away our pride, and if they didn't take our lives
They took away the things that made us feel alive
Said, "Ooh, what have we become?"
"What have we become?"
Said, "Ooh, how did this become?
"How did this become?"
In old woman we flex from the East to the West
She thinks of her grandmother and her grandfather
And the strings that they had
Now she looks to the arm, saw them sniffing on their drugs
The drink in there has stolen so many souls
And flooded her sacred blood
She says, "Ooh, what have we become?"
"What have we become?"
She says, "Ooh, how did this become?"
"How did this become?"
She says, "Ooh, the bottle took away my son"
"It took away my son"
She says, "Ooh, where are we gonna run?"
"What have we become?"
She says, "Ooh, what have we become?"
"What have we become?"
She says, "Ooh, how did this become?"
"How did this become?"
She says, "Ooh, see the bottle took away my son"
"It took away my son"
She says, "Ooh, where are we gonna run?"
"What have we become?"
The places we were put, the things we were given
The things that they took
But they took away our pride, and if they didn't take our lives
They took away the things that made us feel alive
Said, "Ooh, what have we become?"
"What have we become?"
Said, "Ooh, how did this become?
"How did this become?"
In old woman we flex from the East to the West
She thinks of her grandmother and her grandfather
And the strings that they had
Now she looks to the arm, saw them sniffing on their drugs
The drink in there has stolen so many souls
And flooded her sacred blood
She says, "Ooh, what have we become?"
"What have we become?"
She says, "Ooh, how did this become?"
"How did this become?"
She says, "Ooh, the bottle took away my son"
"It took away my son"
She says, "Ooh, where are we gonna run?"
"What have we become?"
She says, "Ooh, what have we become?"
"What have we become?"
She says, "Ooh, how did this become?"
"How did this become?"
She says, "Ooh, see the bottle took away my son"
"It took away my son"
She says, "Ooh, where are we gonna run?"
"What have we become?"
