Song For The Motherland Lyrics

Intro:

Waa heestii dhulka hooyo
A-V-O, V-Line, AJ, K-Touch
Classic song, for all my people back home
Song for motherland.

Verse 1

Its home of the heroes
Its nothing like what u see in the videos
Its home of the lions
So many people got master of science
But still ignorance is widespread
And that's more harmful than HIV threat
Many r lost in the dark,my people ('ve) been torn apart
Ever since the colonialism
Hit the continent & then replaced by tribalism
Peaceful days we miss em
Waking up without hearing gunshots
Or seeing gunmen operating roadblocks
On many street corners where we used to play
Mama used to say: "fear; Never show it
Or visit the old man, u know the poet
Learn from his words of wisdom"
(Yeah learn from his words of wisdom)
Damn, damn I miss em.

Chorus 2x

Singing the song for the mother (for the motherland)
Singing the song for the joy she brings (and the pain)
Singing the song for the mother (for the motherland)
Singing the song for the mother (its the A-f-r-i-c-a)
Verse 2

Dear motherland,
A lot of things changed since I left your sand
I was a little kid roaming,
Around places not knowing where I was going
Lost soul but now I have both feet
On the ground culture is mixed indeed
About to be a chemist, here in overseas Avogadro - Song For The Motherland - http://motolyrics.com/avogadro/song-for-the-motherland-lyrics.html
Stress increases
to the point a lot of people go insane
Some r still on the same
BS, u know hatred & tribe
No cure for that so doctors can't prescribe
Ignorant ones are really dark inside
They never see the light
They can run but can't escape from reality
Im always mistaken for another nationality
But thats positive though,
I represent the beauty of A-f-r-i-c-a
Im a man of the people like Chinua Achebé

Chorus 2x

Verse 3

The word mercy
Doesn't exist in the presence of a blood thirsty
Bless me or curse me
But Ill never sell my soul to the devil like Ayaan Hersi
Thats a liar's mission
Its like lying just to get a higher position
We all know, no need to ask if thats so,
Forget Picasso
I paint a picture like Amin Amir, give u a vivid scene
Keep ya ears clean
Tell me, how can a warlord be innocent?
How can a warlord build a government?
when it comes to peace talks, warlords be like who the hell cares?
In the parliament beating up each other with chairs
Tell Ridley Scott
He wanna make a real movie thats simply hot?
Put my songs together & he get a better script
Peace aint a short trip
but we dont give up!
Chorus xxx

Outro:
yeah, Avogadro
For all my people back home, for the A-f-r-i-c-a,
For those who don't know that, namean
For those who be brainwashed by a TV, just listen to the song.
