paroles de chanson My Distress - Zubz

I often find myself lost in a daze
Not knowing if I′m coming or going
Feels like I'm losing my mind
- Like i′m going insane
(No hope) all hope is lost
(No one) no one to talk to
(No trust) 'cause trust is a far off thing
- Can't trust you
Been hurt too many times, in this life time
- Listen
Where do I begin?
Let me begin at the start
Since my birth back in 1918
There′s no limit to the suffering and all the pain seen by I
That′s why, today I'm still in defiance
For these beliefs I′m even willing to diet
Seems like yesterday i was a teenage kid
Groomed by the best and destined for chieftainship
But when i saw, that there was a force, trying to destroy us
I immediately switched and i became a lawyer
Me and my boy Oliver started a firm, trust me
We had queues and queues of people treated unjustly
Plus we felt a truly imbalance and all
It was inevitable, this would result in a war
So i hit the frontline, with my back against the wall, ducking the law
They called me the black pimpernel but
Even Houdini couldn't escape his fate
I′m in this cage today
On a racist case
My distress
Is my trouble much less is the big scheme of things?
My distress
Is what goes on in my head; a bird without wings
My distress
Is the anguish and suffering caused by pain
My distress
Is the time i spend living in vain
I've got to say, i appreciate these sessions we have
Me getting to vent, you mentally assessing my past
I have these raps as well
With some cats in the cells
We reflect on both the struggle and our actions as well
We talk about Soweto, all the kids in the march killed
We even talk about those dark days out in Sharpeville
Enough brothers fight, by i break them apart
Because i understand the nature of that hate in their heart
I used to be a pugilist, my instinct′s to throw a punch
But there's nothing we cannot talk out over lunch
Talk's always best, but sometimes it′s ineffective
Outside these walls the masses are getting restless
They try top get me to get them to calm down
To release a statement saying ′put your arms down'
But nah, unless it′s 'cause the government has turned
I will stay here longer the republic can burn
My distress
Is my trouble much less is the big scheme of things?
My distress
Is what goes on in my head; a bird without wings
My distress
Is the anguish and suffering caused by pain
My distress
Is the time i spend living in vain
I heard them talking release
Man they been talking about the same for years
27 to be exact, there′s change still here
I can't imagine being out there
How the world′s got'
Man I'd even get to see the Italia World Cup
But what would clearly blow my head the most is
If we were so free we′d even get to host it
But i guess I′m a dreamer like that
Maybe the next century it might happen
That's when I′ll know that this was all for a reason
Jail to bring freedom, not for high treason
I know that this stuff sounds unrealistic
And my brain kind of seems like I'm real twisted and confused
I find the truth resides
In the music of my soul
My truth now spoken
God made it so
- Can you deal with ...My distress
My distress
Is my trouble much less is the big scheme of things?
My distress
Is what goes on in my head; a bird without wings
My distress
Is the anguish and suffering caused by pain
My distress
- Listen
Is the time i spend living in vain
I dedicate this
Small token
To greatest revolutionary of all time
Thank you for your sacrifice
