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 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
