Jahcoustix - See With Eyes Open lyrics

rate me

I remember as a child, living in Liberia <br />

Growing up a youth dread down south inna Kenia <br />

Inspiration and vibes from these places <br />

Different cultures, menthalities and faces <br />

As a young man I travelled round Egypt`s land <br />

Giving thanks and praises inna Nyabhingi chant well <br />

I learned to see humanity as one race <br />

Yet I had to witness so much racial disgrace <br />

<br />

Capitalism is an endless journey <br />

With endless, destination sadness <br />

A poor man can`t afford an attorney <br />

Not rights inna regime they call democracy <br />

<br />

I can see with my eyes wide open (4x) <br />

<br />

I always wondered how the poor people in this world <br />

Can smile while suffering starvation <br />

And how the rich people in this world only speak of <br />

Human kapitulation <br />

<br />

Capitalism is ..... <br />

<br />

I can see...... <br />

<br />

War is a moneymaker <br />

Making the rich get only richer <br />

For them war is an economical cure <br />

Leaving behind the masses of the poor <br />

<br />

I can see…..
