Resources Lyrics by Elijah Hook

Métis (Elijah Hook)

2022

Verse I
Swiss chocolates
Dutch diamonds
The water is rising on the island
My smartphone from Congo

Follow the resource to the source to get yours
Tomatoes from Italy, sharecropped so prettily
Undocumented mystery
Return to the plantation
Conditioned with patience
Thugs in the making souls are braking
What would you do if it was death you were facing, on the daily
Fuck you pay me

Engineers and doctors cleaning offices at night
Would they be better off if they were white?

I don't undеrstand how can you be so polite
It's like bеing stuck in a dream, losing your sight
You are humble and strive with pride
I wish I had the power to shine such light
Not to romanticize your struggles
We all know the pot is boiling hot when it bubbles
I'm here to cause this imperialist system some troubles

Chorus I
3x From the shores on the ground, we want peace
From the shores on the ground, we want peace
From the shores on the ground, we want peace
Safe and sound share a piece, let us free
Now now now now now now now now

Verse II
In the midst of bureaucracy, we try to find a piece of democracy
While the government is plotting another robbery
And the rich stack chips so cowardly

I'm dying of thirst, and you know that it hurts
You take me to the water but don't help me to drink
Staring into my face waiting for it to sink

Our people are our resource
Following our resources
Our people are godly
Resistance everywhere Maji Maji

Oh, I know I'm in danger
I can't trust a stranger
Not even my neighbor
Oh, I know I'm in danger
I can't trust a stranger
Not even my neighbor
They is chasing the paper

As we all do since the bills fall through
Strip us all nude like its autumn
A tree must be a tree
Like when Malcolm explained how his coffee was weakened with cream
And that integration was never the dream

Chorus II
3xFrom the shores on the ground, we want peace
From the shores on the ground, we want peace
From the shores on the ground, we want peace
Safe and sound share a piece, let us free
Now now now now now now now now
