Amadou Lyrics by ​​emawk

2020

[Verse 1]
Amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou
On the news, on the news
Nothing new, nothing new
Amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou
Only crime is our hue and a fear of that truth

[Chorus]
Should we fear for our mothers?
Will they have to bury us too?

[Verse 2]
Amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou
Are we wrong if we riot for the right to be here?
To take the faith from our elders and make something of ourselves (Oh)
Amadou, Amadou
I think about them too
What goes through a mind in a moment to think it's fair to take the breath from a young man's soul?
Life from a young woman's home

[Chorus]
I fear for our mothers
Will they have to bury us too?

[Verse 3]
Is the problem in the fingertips or is it in the bones?
Is it in the structures older than the hopefuls that they stole?
Is it in the hearts with broken moral compasses and
Treasure troves?
The blood, it stains their clothes
Amadou, do you know?
The problem's in the fingertips
The problem's in the bones
The problem's in the structures older than the hopefuls that they stole
The problem's in the hearts with broken moral compasses and treasure troves
The blood, it stains their clothes
Amadou, do you know?
Amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou
We are you, we are you
We are you, we are you
And we have not forgotten about you
Amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou
I'm afraid to be here in this world that you knew
But I'll do what I can, if you promise me this
That you'll watch over us, so our mothers back home will not have to bury us too

[Outro]
Amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou
Amadou, Amadou
