WAR DRUMS Lyrics by Shingai

Too Bold

2020

‘WAR DRUMS’

I’ll tell you a little story
I’ll tell about how it changes
Men got all the glory
Rhythm is a place of freedom but if
They don’t know
Then they won’t grow
The seeds we sow, are far from nourished
Hard times yeah, but we’ve seen it all before
Hard times yeah, not running anymore
Hard times yeah, get yourself up off the floor
It’s our time yeah
Can you hear the drums of war?

Recollect, recollect, recollect
Tell me what you know about war
Recollect, recollect, recollect
You don’t know a thing about war
Recollect, recollect, recollect
You don’t wanna know about war
Cause this is your war. Recollect

Rumpupapampumpum
Rumpapapumpumpum

You ain’t gotta speak my language
Cause you know what I mean
I’m gonna make you understand it
And Know that you feel it too
If they don’t know
Then how would they grow?
It’s time to show, it's time to
Stand up, nourish, flourish
Hard times yeah, but we’ve seen it all before
Hard times yeah, not running anymore
Hard times yeah, pick yourself up off the floor
It’s our time yeah
Can you hear the drums of war
Recollect, recollect, recollect
Tell me what you know about war
Recollect, recollect, recollect
You don’t know a thing about war
Recollect, recollect, recollect
You don’t wanna know about war
Cause this is your war. Recollect
I won’t be discouraged
I can see the way you’re movin mad
See we’ve got the courage
Don’t know what you’re try’na prove

See you bangin on the war drums
Stop bangin on the war drums Hey Hey
You bangin on the war drums
Stop bangin on the war drums, Hey Hey
You bangin on the war drums
Rumpapumpupupupum Hey hey

If you don’t wanna get some
I wouldn’t bang dem drums unless you want war
Recollect, recollect, recollect
You don’t know a thing about war

Recollect, recollect, recollect
Tell me what you know about war

Recollect, recollect, recollect
You don’t wanna know about war
Cause this is your war. Recollect

Hard Times yeah
Stand up & be counted
Stand up, nourish, flourish
Through these times
Hard Times Yeah
It’s time to stand up, nourish, flourish
