Sooner Or Later

[FelExplaina Kuti]

I am going to play for you our first tune tonight it s going to be about four tunes

And the first tune, here it goes

1, 2, 3

[Verse 1]

Now when them fights go down

Them lights go down

In villas and the village people might be round

They say that all the people gonna like me now

Because I talk about the issues in this life we found

All through the country people gettin' slain

Priority religion disobey, get hanged

I know some little kids quick to get militant

Just give them packs of the gun

They really feel the clips

They told me not to worry bout the struggle

And they don't gotta worry cause it's subtle

Tell 'em about the government takin' away the light

Aviation is ruined they say when you take a flight

Say when you take the continent from the white man threw

White man colonize wealth can't do

They fly G5 but they gotta land too

We explode like the landmines that they ran through

[Hook]

Oooooo, OOooooo OOooo OOOO

Oooooo, OOooooo OOooo OOOO

[Verse 2]

So we try palm trees in the sky

It's a beautiful day

I am just happy to be alive

I am playin' with slingshots with renewable goods

Think you got it tough because you're in the hood, negiative

I am positive you would be in upset mode

When you wear the same thing like you got a dress code

I guess I am guilty of being privileged

Cause while I am in the booth my cousin is in the village

I seen a boy with no father

His mom ain't around, life's harder

Picked up soccer he tryin' to go farther

Hair is a mess can't find him no barber

And this is what its like

When you ain't got a life

I'm all they got left

But they trying to do right

And they feel my plight

They giving them insight

I know we gotta win

So then fly me a kite

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

We get by, the weather is just right

Say good morning when I see you

Cause I gotta be polite

And I am livin' something different

Cause this can't be the life

You don't got a chance so you better focus on your plans

I try to grind like children that sell pure water

The land of the lawless muy slaughter

Negotiate your price I'll take your offer

In the market where they sell them what did that cost her

I try to chase the gold out here

But honestly its bumpy like the roads out here

And I advise if your salary is handsome

Vulu feli feli they will hold you for ransom

If you gotta take a glimpse of my family life

You will lose your mind Chris Brown on Grammy night

And this is what the news don't show

There is nothing on the table so the dudes the dude's don't grow

[Hook]

[Chiddy Bang: Speaking]

Yeah, you see what this is man

We done came through all types of os

We still got people out there now

You know what I am saying

I am doing this for my cousin Remi

We gonna make it out the village some day

Sooner....later
