[Couplet 3 : Blitz]
Yeah
West Africa, North Africa connection
Yeah, yeah
It feels like the Amistad, my thoughts explode
Watching the bodies float
Just imagine the folks who's jumpin' off the boat
They look to the heavens and pray God can save them
But this life of poverty is all they ever gave 'em
From Accra City to Casablanca
Life is war and most of the poor are sure to never conquer
So they packin' their bags and head across the Sahara
Some won't make it, others just face the horror
Whether from the beast or the thiefs or police
Africans survive in Europe just to find there's no peace
The wild circumstances we fight, you know what the answer is like
But, who's willing to sacrifice for what is right?
So ask yourself why we risk it all just to fall
A journey of no return is what you sign up for?
I've never been a prophet of doom, Ambassador and Oum
Bring the message for the people entombed
