Rough Life

Rough life 
Is hard out there
Out there where 
Lives are so sow
Where children run
Around naked
Rolling motorcycle tires 
Playing together
As they fall and run
On the grey white hot sands
Is hard out there 
Out there
Where most of this kid
Are of single parent
Mostly single mothers
Where are the men 
????????
Abroad 
In Jail 
Dead
An addict 
Worsth of all busy boss
Also
This is part of our polictical 
Fake promises of Change 

       Rough life
Is hard out there
Out there on the streets
Where poverty is never 
A stranger with alot of 
It ugly colours 
As It colours the ghetto 
With the scars of the 
Out come of our greedy 
Politician in africa 
Is clear so clear 
We are not new to the world
In the third world any more 
To live below human 
Is not a story any more 
How our hopes are always cut
Short from our freedom 
All the time 
I just wonder if the world 
Is not tired of same story
All the time 
I wonder if all they see 
Is right 
I wonder at Worst
What they see

       Rough life
Is hard out there 
Out there where 
Fighting for survival
Is always a gang war
Where crimes are the 
Nature of every youth 
To help put food on 
The family table 
Even when he is just 
12years it didn't matter
Oh it hard out there 
Out there where 
The innocent people
 always Pay the price of 
Corruption 
Is not new any more 
The world see this everyday
Still Yet we are placed 
with a classification
That indentify devaluation 
Systematically everywhere !
