- Running, Falling Lyrics / with translationsSomething 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
Oppressor man you running
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
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
Oppressor man you running
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
I won't do to you what you did to my people ye
Four hundred years ago, four hundred years ago
Turning them to slaves making them your prisoners
You can run but you can't hide
Your time has come now now now
Oppressor man you running
Your kingdom's falling
Oppressor man you running
Your kingdom's falling
Oppressor man you running
Your kingdom's falling
...
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
Oppressor man you running
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
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
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
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
Your kingdom is falling
I won't do to you what you did to my people ye
Four hundred years ago, four hundred years ago
Turning them to slaves making them your prisoners
You can run but you can't hide
Your time has come now now now
Oppressor man you running
Your kingdom's falling
Oppressor man you running
Your kingdom's falling
Oppressor man you running
Your kingdom's falling
