We Have Been There

WE HAVE BEEN THERE We have been in the pit of hell Where Water speaks of An enemy In the dark A maskman is no masksman Unless he knows what to do at the right time of the day. We have been there where we could not See chair to sit down but we sit on the ground To learn the art of selfish, envy, war and betrayer With bible on our right hand and gun on the left Answering the masters who owns our lives And we perish not because we were one. We have been there where smoke enters into Our eyes and they revolt of our carelessness We've fight the pigs on the white chairs Many times have we clean our household Which they thrown into daylight confusion. We have been to school with no chairs to sit The pastor has beat us many times in the Presence of the congregation but we survived We have been there where school Children are sent home for fees We Have been there where women Deliver in pains and Agony. We have seen so many perished But Death never see us 'cause we were one We've seen a father beat his wife We've seen a child beat his father And in turn becomes the fathe We have been to the graveyard Sent a wrong Signal to our hearts, We've seen a lot to make our eyes Go to our back and rest for the last meal Yet a word wasn't enough for us men To feast on at the clash of madness in us Madness which exist in methods above our head We have been there in pains struggling We've seen death bark and curse, but Never shake as though men with no courage We've seen many air wept and the tears slamed On our faces like a hot porriage on the head Destiny made us who we are - kings Love made us perfect and blameless At the nakedness of the womanly earth We hide our faces not to See our Mother' Nakedness shinning like the moon We never decieve our follow hunter Those in the same journey with us Yes---- we are the chosen ones
