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
