Running - Falling

Lucky Dube

Something somewhere
Is calling out your name
In the middle of the night
Your eyes go wide

I see your legs are shaking
You don't believe it's happening
Oppressor man, yeah
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

Oppressor man, you running (Running)
Your kingdom is falling (Falling)
Oppressor man, you running (Running)
Your kingdom is falling (Falling)
Down pressor man, you running (Running)
Your kingdom is falling (Falling)

You run for your gun
To your surprise, it's empty
'Cause we had those bullets for breakfast
Jah children did yeah, yeah, yeah

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

Oppressor man, you running (Running)
Your kingdom is falling (Falling)
Oppressor man, you running (Running)
Your kingdom is falling (Falling)
Downpressor man, you running (Running)
Your kingdom is falling, yeah, yeah (Falling)

I won't do to you
What you did to my people, yeah
Four hundred years ago (Four hundred years)
Turning them to slaves
Making them your prisoners, I said

I won't do to you
What you did to my people, yeah
Four hundred years ago (Four hundred years)
Making them your slaves, I say
Turning them to your prisoners

You can run, but you can't hide
Your time has come now, now, now

Oppressor man, you running (Running)
Your kingdom is falling (Falling)
Downpressor man, you running (Running)
Your kingdom is falling (Falling)

But you know it's falling, falling, falling (Falling)
Downpressor man, you running (Running)
