amadou.jpg - emawk lyrics
[verse 1]
amadou, amadou, amadou, amadou
on the news, on the news, nothin’ new, nothin’ new
amadou, amadou, amadou, amadou
our only crime is our hue and a fear of that truth
should we fear for our mothers
will they have to bury us too?
[chorus]
amadou, amadou, amadou, amadou
are we wrong if we riot for the right to be here?
take the faith from our elders
and make something of ourselves?
oh, amadou, amadou, i think about them too
what goes through a mind in a moment to
think it fair to take the breath of a young man’s soul?
the life from a young woman’s home
i fear for our mothers, will they have to bury us too
[verse 2]
is thе problem in the fingertips
or is it in thе bones?
is it in the structures
older than the hopefuls that they stole?
is it in the hearts with broken
moral compasses and treasure troves?
the blood, it stains their clothes
amadou, do you know?
the problem’s in the fingertips
the problem’s in the bones
the problem’s in the structures
older than the hopefuls that they stole
the problem’s in the hearts with broken
moral compasses and treasure troves
the blood, it stains their clothes
amadou, do you know?
the blood, it stains their clothes
amadou, do you know?
the blood, it stains their clothes
amadou, do you know?
[chorus]
amadou, amadou, amadou, amadou
we are you, we are you, we are you, we are you
and we have not forgotten about you
amadou, amadou, amadou, amadou
i’m afraid to be here in this world that you knew
but i’ll do what i can, if you’ll promise me this
that you’ll watch over us, so our mothers back home
will not have to bury us too
[outro]
amadou, amadou, amadou
amadou, amadou, amadou
amadou, amadou, amadou
amadou, amadou, amadou
amadou, amadou
