Boom Shaka - Rough lyrics

rate me

The sun will smite this concrete jungle today

The rain will fall in Africa

Sunrise rising in the east

From where I stand

I see Jah moon rising right over yonder

From where I'm standing

Jah love got the groove

From where I'm standing

Jah works got the move

Despite the wickedness

Jah love got the groove

Despite the runnings

(chorus)

Rough

system well rough

Got to come

Well red

ready, red, red, red

Down in South Africa, war, war

War are go down there so

One set a man got the means and the schemes

The ways oppress the other one well

Their darkest fears soon reveal

I hear freedom fighters wailing in Soweto

Brothers let me tell you

I feel your pain

Feel your strain

chorus

Longtime we root

Longtime we dey ya so

Longtime we fighting for what

For what we really wanted

Concrete jungle, concrete jungle well ram

African, Blackman, Chinaman, Indian here

Whole lotta love

Look at the rainbow people out there

A there so we born

A there sow the roots now

With our futures hanging in despair

chorus
