lyrics

(Chorus)
What do What do What do What do
Why you Why you Why you Why you (2x)
they want? they want? they want? they want?
so mad? so mad? so mad? so mad?
(Verse 1))
This the plan We climb up The west side & line up
Pull the rope up Behind us
For the next side
to climb
‘Til we get to
Our brother Breda
Apply da pressure
Till they hand him over
But we not leavin’
the way we came
Cause we independent now And is not the same
We here to retrieve
A visionary
Gettin' freedom
By all means necessary Knowin’ the rules that make The strong our tools to break All the chain they place
To hold us in place
But stay chill we will not Cause it plain that we got Diplomatic comprehension Long term ambition
If I can do it in a lifetime
Is really a mission ?
If I can do it in a lifetime
Is really a mission
(Chorus)
(Black people What you got to loose you could just stay
Give us your best, and we will invest and skip the pay)
(2x)
(Verse 2)
This the deal
We keep cool
Cause we know in our soul Things they don't teach in school And we got tap in
To deep understanding
Freedom is ours
With multiple ways of
Doing combat
And since I got your back
You got my back
No turning back
We can be certain that
We gone be told that
We on the wrong track man But we know the track man Cause we own the track ! Footprints & toe prints
You can see our tracks
In all type traces
In chateau and prisons
And various places
Our story should end
But it’s never the case and We stay on a mission Timeline extending
And we got a vision
Taking pieces that's loss And bringing them back in If I can do it in a lifetime
Is it really a mission?
If I can do it in a lifetime
Is it really a mission?
(Chorus)
If I can do it in a lifetime Is it really a mission? (4x)
