Diallo Lyrics

[Wyclef as Amadou]

Boy I am so tired

I'll be glad when I get inside the house

Oh, I dropped my keys

Oh what tis bright light?

My God they must gonna rob me

Who these people with them all at they gonna rob me

I'm gonna take out my wallet to make sure they just get the money

Nothing else.. (??)

Oh it's the police (whew)

I feel so much better

I will show them, I have my ID

so they know I am good people

[followed by a rapid flurry of gunshots]

[Wyclef Jean]

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I fear no evil for thou art with me thou ride with me

J-J-Jah! Ras-tafari

I can't forget you knotty dreads, y'all up in here

I gotta respect that, youknowhatI'msayin?

Night is in the air

Enemy.. on the borderline

Who'll be the next to fire

forty-one shots by Diallo's side?

You said he reached sir

but he didn't have no piece sir

But now he rest in peace sir

in the belly of the beast sir

You guys are vampires

in the middle of the night

Suckin on human blood

Is that your appetite?

You said he reached sir

but he didn't have no piece sir

But now he rest in peace sir

in the belly of the beast sir

Have you ever been shot

forty-one times?

Have you ever screamed

and no one heard you cry?

Have you ever died

only so you can live?

Have you ever lived

only so you can die again, then be born again

from these enemies, on the borderline

Who'll be the next to fire

forty-one shots by Diallo's side?

You said he reached sir

but he didn't have no piece sir

But now he rest in peace sir

in the belly of the beast sir

You guys are vampires

in the middle of the night

Suckin on human blood

Is that your appetite sir?

You said he reached sir

but he didn't have no piece sir

But now he rest in peace sir

in the belly of the beast sir

Diallo, Diallo - similar to Steven Biko

Diallo, Diallo - you told me the murder was an error

Diallo, Diallo - but every man will be judged

Diallo, Diallo - according to his words

Have you ever been held

against your will?

Taken to a dark place

where not even scientists can reveal?

So what is for Ceasar

let it be for Ceasar

Cause we don't want no peace

We want equal rights and justice.. for

Diallo, Diallo - similar to Steven Biko

Diallo, Diallo - you tell me that the murder was an error

Diallo, Diallo - but every man will be judged

Diallo, Diallo - according to his words

You know what?

You told me - that I wouldn't understand man

Tonight some cry - in the streets a burial

Survival of the fittest - only the strong will survive

How can I survive - with forty-one shots by my side?

You guys are murderers

in the middle of the night

Killin innocent people

is that your appetite? Ohhh

You said he reached sir

but he didn't have no piece sir

But now he rest in peace sir

in the belly of the beast sir

You guys are vampires

in the middle of the night

Suckin on human blood

Is that your appetite?

You said he reached sir

but he didn't have no piece sir

But now he rest in peace sir

in the belly of the beast sir - lick a shot for

Diallo, Diallo - similar to Steven Biko

Diallo, Diallo - I can hear your spirit callin, I can hear it

Diallo, Diallo - Ten thousand chariots with no riders

Diallo, Diallo - They on they way to America, I hear the tribe singin

They're sayin -

Diallo Diallo, tuye' Diallo [14X]

Se menm jen yo te tuye Matim Luther King

[samples]

Now there ain't but 20,000 police in the whole town

Can you dig it? Can you dig it? CAN YOU DIG IT?!?!
