Breathe Lyrics

Breathe Lyrics by COBHAMS ASUQUO

What about the hope
What about all the promise you made to the poor
How you gwan joke
How you gwan vote
What about the hike in the price
And the levy now the man he can’t cope
Now the man smoke
To hide away from all the pain
So he no drown from a boat
Or hang from a rope
How you gwan choke a man down and them tell him say
Let the poor breathe
You hold a man down and tell him say
Let the poor breathe
Big man control all the money
And you can’t even let the poor feed
You hold a man down and tell him say
Let the poor breathe, breathe

Some people say we got the leaders we deserving
The type of fools who like to rule instead of serving
But what I know is a good leader is a servant
The type who feel the pain of people who are hurting
Who are hurting, I am certain
One day the youth will find a way to do the purging
And take out Babylon system with their burden
Baba this no be prayer
This is just a warning
Day by day three things I pray
Baba give me life
Baba give me conscience to talk sense
No be nonsense and call am content
And Baba let my whole generation get sense

What about the hope
What about all the promise you made to the poor
How you gwan joke
How you gwan vote
What about the hike in the price
And the levy now the man he can’t cope
Now the man smoke
To hide away from all the pain
So he no drown from a boat
Or hang from a rope
How you gwan choke a man down and them tell him say
Let the poor breathe
You hold a man down and tell him say
Let the poor breathe
Big man represent the poor man
But you don’t even know what the poor need
You hold a man down and tell him say
Let the poor breathe, breathe

E be like say dem take all our sense
And money put am inside kolo
Use division, tribe, religion, lead us we dey follow
Knack our heads together now we be like we on colos
On colos, on colos, on colos
Now we on colos
But the solution dey our hand cos na we matter
E for better make love unite us than to scatter
So all of my all of my people wey think say to japa na the answer
No worry go but when we call you you must answer
You must to show cause day by day three things I pray
Baba give me joy
Baba give me long life and soft life
And all the people wey dey use corruption to cut life
Baba you know nah, Baba you know

What about the hope
What about all the promise you made to the poor
How you gwan joke
How you gwan vote
What about the hike in the price
And the levy now the man he can’t cope
Now the man smoke
To hide away from all the pain
So he no drown from a boat
Or hang from a rope
How you gwan choke a man down and them tell him say
Let the poor breathe
You hold a man down and tell him say
Let the poor breathe
Big man control all the money
And you can’t even let the poor feed
Cha, You hold a man down and tell him say
Let the poor breathe, breathe
