The Congos - Seeking A Favor lyrics

rate me

So you seeking a favor in the eyes of your master

So man you lighting a fire that will cause a disaster

But I'm warning you don't kindle those flames

For when it burns, burns, burns you will bear a bad name

We are brothers and sisters birth from one mother

Yet oppression turns us against one another

Then you'll become your brother's rival

Because you're fighting, fighting for survival

So no seek no favor in the eyes of the master

So man you lighting a fire that will cause a disaster

But I'm warning you don't kindle those flames

For when it burns, burns, burns you will bear a bad name

Let us break down the system of curry favor

And let good behavior become our savior, yea

For as long as we can love one another, yea

We can live together like sisters and brothers

Class, creed and color is a barrier

Which changes mankind into warriors

But equality and justice stands for all

Slave master your kingdom is bound to fall

So no seek no favor in the eyes of your master

So man you lighting a fire that will cause a disaster

But I'm warning you don't kindle those flames

For when it burns, burns, burns you will bear a bad name

So no seek no favor in the eyes of your master

So man you lighting a fire that will cause a disaster

But i'm warning you don't kindle those flames

For when it burns, burns, burns you will bear a bad name
