ZEKI
Children Of War
Remember the day I was born
A little baby crying to a sad song
They didn't know to smile or mourn
This world welcomed yet another lost soul
We lost track of the time when we fell so low
I was dying to live, when I was destined to die
I am begging to breathe, while I'm wondering why
A little child like me, was born living a lie
Filled with hope that rains from my eyes when I cry
Left with reality and the pain that it hides
I'm the child of death, I've never known love in this life
A constant battle on a dozen battle fields
The deadliest is hidden at my feet
The heart I'm stomping on fell and it hurts, my defeat
Sometimes I wonder what did I deserve
I preserve my faith, and I pray for a better day
And I say, no matter how much pain I feel
I am ready for more
What is to live
Concealing the meaning of breathing
Leaving is the only way to freedom
My mic sucks so I can't tell you all this in high definition
Listen to my words, not the way that I speak them
If seeing is believing, look at the world we living
I'm not a rapper who am I kidding
I'm a poet, I'm a leader, I'm a speaker
Not some modern rhyme guerilla showing off his sneakers
I have a world to protect
Expect nothing but the best
When I'm rapping about the land far from the west
The east, the mother of us all
So I speak, softly, gently
Bladi, hayati why were these people so cold
Dear love tell me where did you go
I miss you and I want you to know
Without you this world is just a sad story told
Please call
Sincerely
Yours Truly
