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 !
