Something somewhere
Is calling out your name
In the middle of the night
Your eyes go wide
I see your legs shaking
You don't believe it's happening
Oppressor man ye
Don't tell me you are scared now
It's not the end of your life
But it's the end of your kingdom
It's not the end of your life
But it's the end of your shitty kingdom
Chorus:
Oppressor man you running
Your kingdom is falling (x3)
Yo Yo Yo Yo
You run for your gun
To your surprise it's empty
'Cause we had those bullets
For breakfast Jah children did ye ye ye
Teargas won't make me cry anymore
Your handcuffs won't hurt my arms anymore
It's not the end of your life but it's the end of your kingdom
It's not the end of your life
But it's the end of your shitty kingdom
Chorus:
Oppressor man you running
Your Kingdom's falling (x3)
I won't do to you
What you did to my people ye
Four hundred years ago (x2)
Turning them to slaves
Making them your prisoners
You can run but you can't hide
Your time has come now now now
Chorus till fade:
Oppressor man you running
Your kingdom's falling
