the child of Afghanistan
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
'cause I've been hiding and crying so long, that
even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
but I ain't never crossed a yankee that didn't deserve it
he be treating us well you know that's unheard of
you better watch to who you're talking, and where you're walking
or you and your buddies might face a blasting
I really hate to repeat but I gotta, look
As they croak I see myself in the AKs' smoke, fool
I'm the kinda boy that isn't afraid of fate
on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the moonlight
They've been spending most their lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
They've been spending most their lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
We keep spending most our lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
We keep spending most our lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
They said they got the situation, they got nothin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the gunshots
so I gotta be down with the mujahideen
too much mournings got me emigration dreams
I'm an uneducated boy with journeys on my mind
got my candies in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loced-out runner, set-trippin singer
and my house is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say ?
I'm eight now, but will I live to see nine ?
the way things are going I don't know
Tell me why are they, so blind to see
That the ones they hurt, are you and me
They've been spending most their lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
They've been spending most their lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
We keep spending most our lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
We keep spending most our lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
Power and the money, money and the power
minute after minute, hour after hour
everybody's fighting, but half of them ain't looking
what's going on in the kitchens, and they don't know who's starvin'
they say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
if they can't understand it, how can they reach me
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
They've been spending most their lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
They've been spending most their lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
We keep spending most our lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
We keep spending most our lives, living in Afghanistan's paradise
Tell me why are they, so blind to see
That the one's they hurt, are you and me
Tell me why are they, so blind to see
