Black Bird ft. Gaby Bialo & Salem Lyrics

Look at me you can tell that I grew up in the gutter

It's a struggle everyday just to buy bread and butter

I know suffering I know pain I can put it on my momma

On my knees everyday shedding tears to the father

If I could turn back the hands of time I would

Tell Madiba we ain't seen that freedom yet

Still walking on the same road with worn out shoes

Torn up clothes drinking a whole lot of booze

To ease the pain we face each and everyday

The black man looking up to black Jesus asking for better days

Cause every day we waking up to the same demons

That's just the way it is

I’m just a black boy trying to kill two stones with one black bird

I’m just a black boy with faith in the system and a really really big big heart

I’m just a black boy with a heart

I’m just a black boy yeah

Democracy to my people is a fairytale

Happy ending story that has never been.

25 Years we still fighting, Madiba see your people we still confined.

They moved the chains from the hands to the brain.

27 Years did he really pay?

When you preached love what was the aim?

To learn to love the world and hate ourselves?

Truth is nothin’ changed, same old pain nothing gained.

They just changed the frame, not the paint

Same old system different face

Take me back in time when black had power

When Egypt was a country of honor

When Lumumba made Congo stand taller

Black bird really wish I fly higher

What is freedom when the country is on fire

We’re supposed to be one big team

One people with one big dream

Africa Africa unite (Unite)

My brother my sister unite (Unite)

Africa Africa unite (Unite)

I’m just a black boy trying to kill two stones with one black bird

I’m just a black boy with faith in the system and a really really big big heart

I’m just a black boy with a heart

I’m just a black boy yeah

I’m just a black boy trying to kill two stones with one black bird

I’m just a black boy with faith in the system and a really really big big heart

I’m just a black boy with a heart

I’m just a black boy yeah

Yoyoyo papa you said I could have it all if I worked hard enough

Yoyoyo mama wa kamba ni bionsi ebi bidi chanana

Yoyoyo I know I deserve the best of best and so much more

Don’t you worry you don’t you cry, I will get it all I promise you

I’m just a black boy trying to kill two stones with one black bird

I’m just a black boy with faith in the system and a really really big big heart

I’m just a black boy with a heart

I’m just a black boy yeah

I’m just a black boy trying to kill two stones with one black bird

I’m just a black boy with faith in the system and a really really big big heart

I’m just a black boy with a heart

I’m just a black boy yeah
