Текст песни Yellow Suns, Only Half - IIIA

Yah yah yah yah yah yah
Ya yah yah yaaaaaaah
Yah yah

How much evil do we gotta face
When the powers the be
Want you to know your place
Made of shade with amazing grace
I can't be tamed, a fractured ray
I danced in rain, the ego first
The coup comes next
Umbilical of lost action
Around the neck, the love is lost
You're given, no respect
Change becomes a blank check
The cheque bounced
The pograms start
The bloodshed licks it lips
This soon to be bloodied script
Oppressed pick up the masters whip
A nimble throat is slit
The men are hung
Jackals, once brothers
Now feast upon their young
Split between four tongues
Nigerian men
Pick up American guns
Europe scowls and takes it cut
The wound festers
Poor seen as the infection
Barricades built to teach lessons
Massacres
Through hunger games
Mockingbirds
Get killed for food
To live becomes so crude
Skeletons lie pecked
In hollow nude
Rest is consumed on Irish news
From Aengus
Concern grew
My grandfathers name was Patrick
If you only you knew
Of these

Yellow Suns
But you only know half
Of these Yellow Suns
But you only know half
Only half
These
These Yellow
Yellow
Suns

I been lost in the sunken place
I been trying to go
Where they don't know my face
Put the gun in my mouth
Pull the trigger
Follow my people
Blackness, a better state
Hopes not to be
Overthrown by the C.I.A
Make me M.I.A
Or A.I.M at these paper planes
Made of blood money
That bomb sacred things
Africa a play pen
They Torture us in
Rob and loot
Then pollute
Give us squalor
Tell us to
Be grateful that they didn't shoot
Modern slaves
Exploit their soul
Use em for your shoe
Bitch, what you know of the Bayou
Your children look like theirs
So Britain never tried to buy you
Still, the hand
Never fed
Slapped you nonetheless
None had less
Barren land
No harvest
The famine a state of mind
You're hungry
See your ears grow red
When you see
Maireann na daoine ar scáil a chéile
Scrawled on the invisible line between
You and me
In another life
I am you
So through your timeline
Let me, tell me
The truth, to you
Whose me, in truth
To you, I'm lies
False lie, so you
Are true to me
We both see

These
Yellows suns
Cause I only know half
I only know half
I know these sunsets won't last
I know these sunsets won't last
I know
I know

I miss you and I'm not at home with your passing
Cigarette smoke drifts through my room
I've been thinking a lot about us lately
I've been thinking about how not to consume
Trying not to get lost in this sunken place
My tears fall down my face
I miss you
Please tell me you remember me in that Space
Where time and space don't exist
Tucked in that little corner
I've been holding this grief inside I Figured I might as well let it all spill
I've been holding my tears inside they bled into my quill
I've been holding you inside
Now I have to let you free
I hope you see
Me
To all the souls that passed rest in peace
I love you
I wish you peace
Andrew
Sharon
And to my grandfather
Patrick Nnaji
Rest
